Thing is we don't even know how advanced they were. The only thing left from them are some weapon blueprints for some of the most powerful monsters around (like White Fatalis), the remains of one of the living Dragon Weapons, and two Towers (normal Tower and Sky Corridor). Yes, they were apparently advanced enough to create artifical life and actually control it, tame the wild and powerful monsters in the world they lived in and had advanced technology for their armor and weapons. But that's about it. Maybe their wasn't much to them besides the things we already know and that is simply it. Maybe they had far more to offer but it simply got destroyed in the Great Dragon War. It simply fascinates me and that is justification enough to demand more.
