Fossilized footprints in Saudi Arabia show human traffic on the cusp of a subsequent ice age.
Like carbon dating, scientists use isotopes and context clues to calculate the approximate age of fossils.
These human prints were surrounded by animals but not hunted animals, indicating humans were just thirsty.
A uniquely preserved prehistoric mudhole could hold the oldest-ever human footprints on the Arabian Peninsula, scientists say. The seven footprints, found amidst a clutter of hundreds of prehistoric animal prints, are estimated to be 115,000 years old.

There is no known reason why those footprints "shouldn't be there." The dating is well within the known age of Homo sapiens. Further, footprints don't equal a "civilization." The article suggests these guys were near a watering hole just like all the other animals. In other words, this is not a big deal.
I'm fine with suggesting there were "other civilizations" in the past we don't now about. Hancock and others have presented plenty of evidence for this to be true. But "civilizations" suggests cities. That's what the word means. And they didn't find cities here. They found a few footprints.

Sometimes I really believe that archaeologists , at least in the area of dating, are in the dark.
What if geologic things don't actually take 100's of thousands or millions of years to happen.

Of course, what is buried deep below those footprints....way down deep...perhaps a civilization does reside there...and we will never know...because the average life span as we know it today is 75 years old...archeology of any kind is completely subjective, especially when it comes to dating things we have found...they have theories.

The problem with dating of any kind is that the atmosphere has changed, gravity has changed, magnetic influxes have happened, floods, earthquakes, asteroids...

They carbon dated many samples from the dinosaur soft tissue and its all less than 40,000 years old. The evolutionary narrative we were fed growing up is just another santa claus, and once you look into it without bias you realize how gullible it was to ever believe it.
