I think there was an advanced civilization around before the ice age. One that didn't destroy the environment and build big weapons that could destroy the ability of the world to support life. Maybe the Amish are their descendents.
Well, if they built all the unneeded aircraft peppering the skies spewing pollutants and built the super weapons we do to try to take over the world, they wouldn't be considered advanced.

I have to say probably not measuring this by industrial and technological civilization.
I go along with the scientific, primary source based, archaeological evidence that Mesopotamia is the cradle of civilization. Before the ice age we may have got as far as agriculture, but there is absolutely NO evidence of anything other than the very basic stone age tools.
Simple batteries, yes, post ice age, but not flying ships and astronauts.

Have you ever considered becoming a science fiction writer? It seems like it would suit you quite well...

The pyramids cannot be built with modern tech even...explain how a bronze age civilization did this.
How about in south america where they custom cut diarite(did I spell that right?) That bronze aged cultures could not have done period, and add in the fact they were built with Lego like precision, so they could be stacked together.
It would cost trillions today with modern tech to make cuts this precise.
There is no mainstream explanation, because it defies explanation of modern day science for a "bronze aged civilization".
They were obviously much more advanced than we give them credit for.
There is no other rational explanation.

Look for yourself, we are not writing a book for you. This subject has to be addressed with great length I have spent years now researching this. You can choose not to see what is plainly visible but ignorance is not the answer any more.
Aristotle once said "it is the mark of an educated man to contemplate and idea without accepting it" consider this please and i think in time it will become to hard to ignore ;-)

Op...humans have made references to this so that it could be passed down as a warning.
Tptb are the "outsiders".....aliens inter dimensional beings...whatever you want to call them.
They fear us.
From the bible..tower of babel story.
"Look at these "men" they are of one tongue and one purpose, there is nothing they seek to achieve they will not accomplish. Let us go amongst them and confound their language and culture to keep them divided."
Tptb have destroyed our civilization many times before.
It is about to happen again, because we are reaching a level of tech and social unity that allows us to be one people again.
They cannot allow this, because we are a true threat because "they" are inferior on many scales to us...just more advanced.
They have to keep us down or be replaced in the universal hegemony by us.
The problem is, they think by making us into stone aged culture again, over and over, they can stop our assent.
However we always come back better and faster than the time before.
The govs of the world found out about this cycle in the 50s.
Hence them working to keep us divided, so as not to put us on their radar, until such a time as we are ready to break out against them.
Hence our tech level not really advancing beyond 1950s tech.
Sure they made the car better but it is still just a car...we know better is possible, but it doesn't exist.
Once we reach a certain level of tech and unity....the end game comes again.
This is why there is so much evidence of advanced tech and building techniques from past ages.
The gov found evidence of this, and know what will happen if "they" see us advance past a certain point.
Until we, as in our civilization can come out the other side, we must appear to be primitive by their standards.
Just my thoughts

Thank you, though you disagreed with me you had the courage to challenge my idea. despire my confidence.
I myself have no formal training in anthropology, civil engineering however I do.
I started out by looking at the earthquake engineering of ancient structures, especially those of Peru.
What I began to notice however was that the exact same technology existed worldwide especially in regions we would consider seismically unstable. This was where my education on the subject began,
After that I wasn't sure what to make of it, why do these cultures seperated by time and geography share the exact same technologies, which is no trivial matter, these a megalithic hard rocks tooled perfectly and fitted together with absolute precision and on occasion using a little t shape clasp to hold blocks together.
So then i started compiling a list of similarities of these ancient sites, myths and cultures, engineering and other phenomena and well there is too much there.
1. Megalithic construction and precision tooling of stones
2. Astronomical alignment right down to the minute detail.
3. Understanding of planets outside of the naked eye (without a telescope?)
4. Advanced plumbing and irrigation systems found in 'some' sites
5. More advanced stone work below later more inferior stone work.
6. Understanding of maths before we attribute it to them and in regions where it appears to spontaneously develop in isolation
7. Trepanning
8. Skull elongation
9. well developed ancient sites or cities, which appear to be purpose built without any evidence of developing to this level. They just appear in full splendor.
10. Mythologies in every culture of a flood.
11. The appearance of indeed a world wide archaeological cover up.
12. Similarities in ancient mythology of creation, technologies and giants of cultures again in isolation
13. Oddities in languages written that cannot be explained, like Rongorongo script and Indus valley script being very similar though it defies completely our current model
14. The most obvious is the architectural similarities, stone circles are common around the globe as are pyramids. Compare the pyramids of Bali to those in Mexico and see even how the designs are similar at completely different time periods seperated by the vastness of the Pacific.
15. Our inability to date stone work.
16. The oddity of statues showing races of people that shouldnt be there or skeletal remains of giants or white fair skinned people etc.
17. Mummification
18. The most impressive evidence, the ability to shape stone in ways we do not even have theorietical models of being able to do. Monolithic boxes, perfect three planar corners, drill holes you can see rifling in. But again, in pre-historic times.
And these oddities just get systematically ignored by science, why? It wont take you long to figure out why. There are probably more but look at that there are so many similarities in the engineering and found around these engineered sites how could all these things develop independently from each other? its because they didn't. There was a common ancestor who built these sites, all around the globe. The differences appear after thousands of years of chinese whispers so to say as we started again as hunter and gatherers. We reclaimed these sites after finding them and then kings enscribed them with graffiti which our scientists dated to a later time frame. Any organics that contradict the model are lost or labeled as hoaxes. Again far too oftento just be mare co-incidence. I mean yeah my theory makes sense its not that different from Graham Hancocks. So what would I need to do, find something? Find something else that just shouldnt be... then make it public :-)
