[Warhammer 40K] The Empror lived during the DAoT. Does he posses knowledge of how humanity's technology worked at that time?

I mean yeah I know there were other Prepetuals living back then but the Emperor is a super genius who most likely guided humanity from the shadows since he was born so he must know a lot of cool, super powerful technology right? And if he does then why didn't he restore humanity to that technology level(minus AI)?

Bonus question, did the Iron Men rebelled because of chaos corruption or did they just find being slave labour surprisingly unenjoyable?

Probably not. At the time humanity had this sweet system where machines just did everything. All the higher technology was basically designed and built by the AIs, it is why the Mechanicum literally communicates in binary.

Anyway the Emperor probably understood more than most but he clearly wasn't aware of what was coming otherwise he'd have done more about it before hand.
