You are a clueless moron, out of touch with reality and who has never developed a thought of his own.
Consider the following. Simpler architecture is based on empirical observation and so was back then. Walls too thin and high would crumble so standard heights and widths were established within a certain tribe. Not only that, but methods, construction materials, rules for including windows and doors, etc... All of these were refined through experience (read experiments) and the SAME RULES would yield the SAME RELIABLE HOUSINGS (to a certain extent).
We can make a similar argument for eclipse calculations. I've read about this many years ago so I don't remember much. Older methods were set aside on the grounds of actual observations; the Antikythera mechanism did not originate overnight. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism

A lot of findings, from the most ancient cultures to the middle ages, were dictated by common sense. That is not to say that commons sense governed all of the activities of the past, as it does not today. Nowadays we loosely codify that common sense in the scientific method. The scientific method is not a set of axioms and varies based on historical period and context. I will not provide a reference but I'm sure you will find a lot of useful links on Wikipedia.

Trial and error, and learning from experience does not equal science, if you're going by that logic you could say that the caveman that invented fire was a scientist. Or that Aristotle was a sociologist. Did you know some early christian theologians were claiming Plato was some sort of proto christian, just that he didn't know it. You're doing the same thing, ignoring history either from ignorance or some sort of new age religion of science. Again common sense isn't science. If anything science is opposed to common sense. It encourages skepticism and questioning common sense. What you probably meant was "reason" was codified in the scientific method. But that's debatable I'll give you that. It's the continental vs Anglo divide. By the way you reason i can 100% guarantee you're an Anglo.
