People have been researching this subject for some time, and I think the answer is yes there were many advanced races living before the ice age.

Check out this video here from (LAH expedition). It is kinda slow and boring if you are not interested, but quite clearly shows signs of tool marks on the ancient structures. Tool marks we haven't the ability of using today hence the "advanced" notion of the matter. Some sort of circular saws and tube drills that are made of a material stronger than we have thus can shape stone to finer precision than us which can be seen by looking at the size of the groves left by the tools. This also shows some models of technology we haven't even got a theoretical model of, like some sort of alchemy maybe that actually softens the rock? Its hard to say. The only fact that needs to be taken out of this, is somehow a long time ago, they were able to do things we cannot now.
I have not been able to find a rebuttal for the video yet that contradicts what they are trying to say. In fact this is another area of my own research I got fixated on for some time, trying to disprove or prove this. If you can disprove this I would be interested in finding what is fake and what is wrong.
There is a systematic failure of people like myself to get fixated on a concept sometimes and having a devils advocate can sometimes be a wise idea. So please tear this video apart and show me how these advanced tool workings are not more advanced than anything we can do now.

Which Archaeologists or Anthropologists state this? It's pretty widely accepted that a mass exodus out of Africa occurred at roughly the same time period as the Toba catastrophe(~ 70 KYA ) with HSS populating nearly the entire world with the exception of the America's within a few tens of thousands of years post Toba.
I think you're confusing the YD event with the Toba event. The Toba even(~69 KYA-~77 KYA) is indeed genetically linked with a bottleneck in human populations worldwide. Essentially every living human today is descended from 3-10,000 breeding pair of HSS. The YD Impact had a more localized effect, predominantly affecting the Western Hemisphere and is a likely candidate for the loss of mega fauna in North America ~ 12,900 BP. It did not however, have a noticeable impact on human populations. At least not in terms of numbers. It is somewhat linked to the end of Clovis Culture but even that is up for debate. The Toba event is one of the largest documented volcanic eruptions that we are currently aware of in all of Earth's history. It is postulated that due to the amount of material ejected into the upper atmosphere, there was the equivalent of a nuclear winter that lasted 6-10 years and led to a millennium long cooling event as documented in tree ring and ice core samples. That doesn't mean it was the result of an actual nuclear event though.
All three datasets, projectile points, quarries, and SPA data,
indicate that a major human population decrease (bottleneck), or
alternatively population reorganizations (i.e., dramatic changes in
settlement patterning), occurred over broad areas of North America
at the onset of the YD cooling episode w12,900 cal BP. The SPA
results provide evidence that similar declines or changes occurred
across much of remainder of the Northern Hemisphere with the
exception it, seems, of the Middle East. In addition, the SPA results
suggest that a population decline also occurred during the Altithermal
in the Mid-Holocene, beginning ca. w9000 years ago and
lasting for 1000 years or more.

well........... Part one crapped out on your link and on the YT presentation at ~ 18:19 minutes
all ATS'ers are hereby forewarned
I ain't that interested in rehashed crap that is termed as 'new'
give me a synopsis... was my earlier post that included Atlantis before the last ice-age start around 100,000 bce near the target or just cult thinking?
edit on th28142317996405462015 by St Udio because: get that I....i friggin tab fixed... ATS is being slack ! this has been a problem for over 365 days now

The sharp increase in C14 at the onset of the Younger Dryas cooling period may be the direct result of Thermonuclear detonations. There is other evidences of this as well...
Sure. Why not.

The Younger Dryas extinction event, about 12.6 thousand years ago narrowed the human population to less than 20,000 individuals, according to Genetic studies. The cause for YD extinction event is unknown, but I personally think it was a "nuclear winter"....
Au contraire, mon frere! You'll note that all through this thread I have tried not only to refute the nonsense factor, but I have also sought to engage posters in a process that might lead them to come to some critical decisions themselves. And, that is generally my practice on this forum.

This ("Sure. Why not.") is exactly the kind of response I have come to expect from you. It's so much easier to be glib and condescending than it is to actually engage in civil discourse, isn't it?

NOT.
Human population at 10,000 BCE is estimated to be over 2.4 million individuals.
You should consider not posting disinformation. Or, if that's not the case, perhaps you should consider that there are many members here that know better than the utter falsehoods you elect to post, for whatever reason.

However, some times there is just not a damn thing I can say beyond "Sure. Why not."

Archaeologists have a bad habit of saying they "know", when the truth is that it's your best guess based upon the extremely limited archaeological evidence. While I'm sure that your reputation precedes you, claiming to "know better" only indicates that you have a high regard for yourself. I may be mistaken with regards to the number of individuals but I believe that new evidence suggests a significant decrease in human global population especially in the Northern Hemisphere at the ONSET of the Younger Dryas period. I've posted links to those studies in previous responses to this thread.
Your dismissive responses to me in this thread and in the past do nothing to convince me of your arguments. I, like many others believe that mainstream archaeologists spend their careers with their head in the sand, only agreeing with the accepted norms. While I'm sure that you have very impressive credentials, your interactions here aren't impressive at all.

The two do not follow. Besides, there is proof of evolution, and there is no proof of 'advanced civilizations before us, assuming you mean something of a scale equal or greater than modern-day.
Evidence. How about artifacts found within an indisputably sealed context and excavated by scientists of high repute? That's what it took at Monte Verde in Chile, and the whole 'clovis first' paradigm collapsed.

It happens, they get it wrong at times but believe they are right on everything. . . . Kinda sad really.
