And gave them all of the raw naturaul resources available to date, how long would it take to get to the point where we are now in technology.

Not just 100 tradesman, 100 people from every field, engineering, medical, everthing. Plus all of the written knowledge.

Ok I know there are more creative answers than this. Think basic, shelter. To cut down a tree you need an ax. To make an ax you need a piece of wood for the handle, to get the wood you must cut down a tree....See where I am going with this.

It took a few thousand years to get to where we are now. We now have knowledge, but we are not as smart as people used to be, so it would take longer, I would say another few thousand years. 100 people is not very many to rebuild the world, in a way.

I've seen similar questions. I'm not sure I fully understand. If you're talking about anything we have now I would say almost anything thats already been build before could be reproduced in fairly short order. First these folks would have the advantage of knowing that what they are attempting can actually be done.
But you need to keep in mind most of what we have is mass produced. If I had to assemble a team to build an automobile from raw materials, it could be done but I would guess the cost of a hand built car to be around $200,000 for something like a Ford Taurus, using mass produced steel, glass and plastic. To start from raw material I can't imagine the cost.

You would have to factor in wars. With no wars we would not be where we are technologically. Defense spending gave us many of the technological advances we have today. No way to calculate this answer. There are to many variables. Do not under estimate the contributions of the unnamed tradesman. I am an Engineer and a Journeyman Tool Maker. I see more innovation and creative thinking in the maintenance department tool room than in the office.

You wouldn't get far with 100 tradesmen. You would only begin to get there with all the knowledge that literally thousands of scientists and engineers could aspire to. The expertise that one hundred human brains could hold is just not enough.
