Ever notice how people generally don't remember very much? Or think they remember more than they do? I have noticed this my entire adult life because I just happened to have a better memory than the people I knew when I was growing up.

Media greatly exaggerates human ability. We lean so much on narratives and take what we know for granted.
Knowing this, I think it is incredible how far we have come in the last few thousand years.
