Our ancestors are more modern then we think, this is what some alternate science/history theories believe. Anyone have better knowledge on this? In what type field our ancestors have high level of knowledge? 

1-literature (there are dozens of example)
2-religion (some believed in polytheists and some believed in monotheist)
3-space science (vimana's in hindu Vedas text)
4-architecture (Hindu Temple and puma punku)
5-astronomy (again Mayan)
6-calendrical (Mayan calendar)

i have notice in this field our ancestors have advance knowledge then the credit we have given them. any other type of studies u can think of?

i have list 6 type of different studies, another example:
7-Mathematics. 
they are very advance in Mathematics (The geometric and mathematical accuracy of the great pyramid at Giza)

I'll add Horticultural science to that list.  Corn, [Maize] according to genetic studies recently done, corn is traced back to one hybridization approx. 90,000 ybp.  Every variety of Chili Pepper can be traced back to one native specie found in Peru.
 
Sharwina, the Ancients had an understanding of many things, aerodynamics etc. Wether or not they used this knowledge and how, isn't known yet.  One of the silliest ideas posed was that the pre columbian cultures did not have the wheel.  Of course they did, there are enough examples of it's use to establish that fact.  Ceramic pull toys, with wheels intact have been found in several S. American Countries.  The thought here is, they didn't use the wheel, because perhaps they didn't need it.  They had other means.

While not more "modern," our ancestors had many useful practical skills enabling them to survive in the wilderness. The American pioneer, for example, had a basic knowledge of carpentry, leatherwork, metalwork, agriculture, and trapping. How many of us today could build a house using only an axe and pine logs?

The Greeks and Romans had a lot of advanced technology that was lost to Europeans until the Renaissance (and later): steam engines, aquaducts, cameras, central heating, modern plumbing, and modern road networks

Steam engine: Invented by Hero in the 1st century AD, rediscovered by Leonardo in the 1500s, improved by Thomas Newcomen and entered widespread use around 1712
Aquaduct:  Introduced in 325 BC by Appius Claudius Caecus, fell into disuse in Europe until the 18th century when they were used to transport barges
Camera: Invented by Aristotle in the fourth century BC, first used to take photographs by Joseph Niepce in 1825

i am interest to talk about things before 10 000years ago or beyond that. About human had advance knowledge then the credit we give them in text book and some advance technology owned by them that we have proof but our mainstream scientist don't want agree.

Here's something that might be interesting Sharwina. When the city of Gobekli Tepe was built, most people used stone tools, lived in caves, and followed a hunter-gatherer lifestyle

What about the myths of Atlantis? It's been suggested Gobekli Tepe itself was just a remnant of an earlier, more advanced civilisation that knew how to smelt bronze

I think findings in Shahr-e Sukhteh can also prove this thing:
 
 
In December 2006, archaeologists discovered the world's earliest known artificial eyeball.[10] It has a hemispherical form and a diameter of just over 2.5 cm (1 inch). It consists of very light material, probably bitumen paste. The surface of the artificial eye is covered with a thin layer of gold, engraved with a central circle (representing the iris) and gold lines patterned like sun rays. The female remains found with the artificial eye was 1.82 m tall (6 feet), much taller than ordinary women of her time. On both sides of the eye are drilled tiny holes, through which a golden thread could hold the eyeball in place. Since microscopic research has shown that the eye socket showed clear imprints of the golden thread, the eyeball must have been worn during her lifetime. The woman's skeleton has been dated to between 2900 and 2800 BCE.[11] 
The oldest known backgammon, dice and caraway seeds, together with numerous metallurgical finds (e.g. sl*g and crucible pieces), are among the finds which have been unearthed by archaeological excavations from this site. 
Other objects found at the site include a human skull which indicates the practice of brain surgery and an earthen goblet depicting what archeologists consider to be the first animation.

This one is also interesting about an ancient rock art (petroglyph): http://www.tavoosonline.com/News/NewsDetailEn.aspx?src=20197

Mohammad Naseri Fard, the specialist in stone engravings and the author of Stone Engravings of Iran has accidentally discovered an engraving on the summit of a mountain in Timareh. After taking a photograph of this engraving, Naseri showed it to his friend a specialist in organic chemistry asking him to study it as well who later informs Naseri that the engraving is a chemical formula with an interesting combination of carbon and hydrogen with linear and cyclic bonds appearing like CnH2n which in fact is a polysilicon which is a semiconductor material.

Solutreans lived in Spain and France around 20,000 years ago and are credited with many inventions. They use highly advanced artistic techniques in their cave paintings, invented sewing needles, their large stone bifaces were the most advanced tools the world had seen to date.

I don't have a list.

The best way to go about making one is google search solutrean tools/industry/technology.

WHAT....nobody mentions the obvious. Military Science and Art and the development of weapons. Innovative and occasionally brilliant given the contextual era's involved....
