Is knowledge an enigma that endures through time?

When we talk about the nature of something, we refer to something very complete, that is to say, from what originates it, the causes of its origin, its development and evolution, and of course the enigmas that surround it. Therefore, when we refer to the nature of knowledge is because it is intended to discuss everything related to the causes that gave rise to human knowledge, the way it is perceived and the history of its development until today, there are several questions that give rise to be a great topic of debate, for example:

How do we know what we know?

That is to say, how did knowledge develop, how did it evolve from empirical to the various forms we know today?

Is knowledge something objective, independent of our mind, or is it a subjective construct shaped by our experiences and beliefs?

Logically the experiences of the human being implies a way of incidence in the raison d'être of knowledge, experience has made us discern between being able to choose between what works and what does not work, being able to make a choice allows us to generate knowledge, the way in which man has been evolving on earth makes us suppose that it is thanks to the accumulated knowledge, and that is thanks to the experience we have accumulated as a species, knowledge I believe should not be seen as something objective and independent, since knowledge without human reasoning does not have sufficient reason to exist.

However, that is the beauty of being able to debate these issues, that you can have a range of positions that lean towards a theory that sees knowledge as something objective and independent of the existence of the human being, but if it were not for us humans, then who would have knowledge?

If we think of a creator and supreme entity that has created us, perhaps we would say that he is the source of knowledge, so it can be deduced that perhaps knowledge transcends the boundaries of human possession, we cannot underestimate the idea that knowledge is free and independent, however the species that has best used knowledge for its evolution as a species has been the human being, therefore from my perspective I consider knowledge as that inexhaustible source of making the human being to have a sense of existence.

The conclusion of the case, is that if it is an enigma all that encloses the knowledge, it can corroborate all the questions that may arise from the subject of knowledge, the important thing is that perhaps it is an enigma that will last forever, or at least will be present as long as the human being exists on earth.
