Hi all!

I have a question regarding female AS of AoL. So they start severing mad man, saving the world etc., but then they lose most of the "advanced" weaves just after the breaking, they lose knowledge of creating ter/sa/angreal, how most of them work, ...

How? Does it mean that all of the female AS from beofre the breaking died during those 300 years Breaking took place over withoit passing knowledge to others? I find this hard to believe... Was this ever explained?
