Our own ancestors have achieved structures nearly as impressive without such abilities I hadn't even thought of that, but this makes so much sense. We've seen how impressive people's Semblances can be in combat situations, but it completely blows apart our conceptions of what's possible if they put those powers to use in construction. With powers like Pyrrha's and Glynda's out there, it's really no surprise even older civilizations could make crazy structures like the ruins in the Emerald Forest. And also consider that I wasn't even refering to or regarding semblances in that post... It was strictly in regards to aura... High jumps(and conversly jumping down from greater heights), Cutting better edges(as diamond or high pressure water/electric/fire cutters do IRL).

I've often stated that when you think about it quite frankly the method and process of Remnant's developement must be quite fascinating... their only really advanced developements are their communications, robotics, and fabrication methods, most everything else could easily be explained by very low level technology levels using their unique resources,

Tbh their computer technology doesn't make sense considering it suffers the almost same improbability as their space technology... it just doesn't seem like the basic processing power would have helped enough for early computers to to bother developing... which is why I believe it must have been semblance assisted unless it predates developement on Remnant, while Space technology likely fizzled only because it failed after the developement of the entire program using dust in all levels of development.
