Unfolding knowledge in Dwapara Yuga is not so much about discovering new things as reinterpreting the old for new insight, finding meaning and connectedness in apparently disparate fields and events from science to spirituality to sociology and history: finding truths hidden in plain sight.
Taken element by element, many know the history of Franklin, or the story of Lucky Lindberg, or Yogananda, the Agricultural or American Revolutions (see timeline) yet the age is a tapestry defined by the many threads of its warp and weft, kith and kin - certain leading the motif and others echoing it.
Even the last words used have a sense coming down through the Yugas. We find that our oldest books were written from oral histories and that there is a common musicality to ancient Indian, Greek, English or Slavic texts a pattern encoding knowledge from stories of Achilles to today's "Jack and Diane, two American kids growin' up in the heartland", from ancient India to "Punch and Judy" to Aesop's Fables.
Another feature of those texts which have survived for millenia is the archetypal hero who transcends the everyday thru much effort and returns with the message of the hero's journey for his countrymen, from Jason to Jesus to Yogananda - essentially spiritual texts with an arc of transcendance (the bible itself references many other books, almost none of which are now extant). Each hero's story is apt for his age and culture, yet our priestly and political classes are careful to ape only the fundamentalist surface sense of the words, outfits and ceremonies, leaving the path itself overgrown and neglected.
As we progress in Dwapara Yuga, towards the still higher Treta and Satya Yugas, the mud of Kali Yuga confusion and complexity fall away, at least for those for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, to reveal God, the truth behind all fields and events.
