Crikey! You've put a lot of effort into that post. For that reason, I'll only suggest that you could double-check some of the points you make. One or two points are at least an arm's length away from known facts

I disagree!
I say that the name of the time period is determined by its technological level, not the other way around. This is based on what we have discovered in archeological digs, not a linear belief in how technology evolved.

We now have optical Vinyl Record Players that do not come in contact with the Vinyl Record, and providing an accurate waveform without noise or degradation of the recording, while Digital recording takes snapshots of the Analog signal at a certain rate (44,100 times per second) with a series of steps, and is not capturing the complete sound, but approximating it. Some sounds that have very quick transitions will be distorted by Digital because they change too quickly for the sample rate. In this micro-Age example, Analog technology is able to advance beyond what Digital currently can, when scientists continue to evolve an older (outdated) Technology.
The ancient Egyptians used nanotechnology more than 3,000 years ago even though they had no concept of the underlying nanoscience. They only knew that a particular mixture of wet sand worked really well for lubricating the ground where they pulled huge blocks of limestone to build the pyramids.

Makes you really wonder about the Library of Alexandria. Humanity has such large gaps in it's history. Sometimes knowledge is preserved by another civilization who had dealings with a "fallen" civilization. Didn't the middle east preserve some Roman medical knowledge?
I'd think that sometimes science needs to reexamine some of its positions on some beliefs. Some advancements of mankind do not require a modern man to implement. But then I ask why did so many mounds get built all across the globe that can only be seen by air? Hot air balloons were with in the ability of some mound building cultures. How many modern advancements were accidents? How many ancient theories were only proved with "modern" knowledge?
Any stone structures still standing after thousands of years would finally fall to glaciers. The only intact human structures would be those originally built underground, such as the English Channel's "Chunnel".
