A lack of understanding can only be improved by more understanding which is done by hands and minds of living people. The dead and never existing cannot help.
When your food producing technology is so low that 95% of the population must produce food as a full time occupation then there is no margin of error and any disruption to production from disease, injury, bad weather, war or whatever else will cause famine. In 0AD that was the case for even the most advanced people in the world.
The solution to 1984 is 1973!
