Highly recommend the Dr. Stone anime if you're interested in a story with the premise of starting civilization from scratch but armed with the sum total of modern human knowledge about science and engineering. | |||||||||||||||||

Also, if you want even further back precedent for this kind of plot device, I highly recommend reading a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's court by Mark Twain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Connecticut_Yankee_in_King_A... | |||||||||||||||||

I second this. It's the only show I've seen making a semi-realistic attempt at this (ignoring the absurdity of the initial petrification in the first place and Dr. Stone having superhuman knowledge of all human inventions) | |||||||||||||||||

I'd also recommend the Destiny's Crucible series - the basic premise is that a chemist from our world is transported to another planet of humans at a much lower technological level, and some moderately standard isekai hijinks ensue. I read five of the books, and really enjoyed them; if you like the "competence porn" genre of novels, this is a pretty good one. | |||||||||||||||||

I watch this with my daughter and we love it. I love shows with "narration", talking about the context/details of things, and Dr Stone really nails that (I know the main character isn't really a narrator.. but it accomplishes the same thing). | |||||||||||||||||

I'd also recommend the "How to Make Everything" YouTube channel. |
