I have a number of songs on both vinyl and cd (being a part time dj and all).
The vinyl has so much more bass response, it blows any cd away. There's just something about analogue that digital can't quite reproduce. CD's tend to cutoff at about 20Hz, below which is all the stuff you 'feel' rather than hear.
Remeber that writing was not widespread - often it was only the rich or powerful who could afford scribes.
If the center of such a civilization is wiped out, the only thing you'd have left is an oral history of the event.
It would have also been likely that the affected areas were invded and taken over, in which case, a large part of the surviving written history could quite possibly have been destroyed as the first step to assimilate the conquored civilization.

Makes a big difference.
