as for why, i just need to pick that classical george orwell quote:
who controls the past, controls the present
He who controls the spice controls the universe

Simply makes little or no sense, and as a catch all, quite frankly it gets old fast. So an advanced civilization, who could travel the world... vanished with no trace, after picking up all the litter. Why? Why would they bother? I can understand destroying like advanced tech in a 'don't let the enemy find it' kind of way, but all tooling, engineering and constructions?
What if another industrial civilization had existed on Earth tens of millions of years ago, long before humans, but all traces of it have now been lost?
While it may seem like an absurd idea, this thought experiment is the focus of a new scientific paper authored by Adam Frank, an astrophysicist from the University of Rochester, and Gavin Schmidt, director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
