Collectively, the idea from meeting a long lost high tech society might originate from a time when roman works seemed built by "giants"

High chance that they didn't actually believed it was really built by humongous gentlemen, but often they were seen as someone with unparalleled technology at that age.

That could be one of the reasons why the Roman (and greek) classic civilizations where so much romanticized.

I visited a Roman fort a while back, after quite a spate of visiting medieval castles. It really is amazing how advanced the Romans were compared to the dark ages that followed the fall of the empire (in Britain, specifically).
