Happy Thanksgiving to all!!

Sure I agree, we like to pretend (at least Scientists do) that our ancestors were idiots incapable of creating any type of technology. Maybe they were just as advanced as us but on the same note, don't you think by now we would have found that technology? Or, maybe we did and it's being hidden for whatever reason.

Which scientists are these? We have ample evidence of our ancient ancestors creating technology, language, fire, spears, rope, textiles, pottery metallurgy. etc
Hidden by who and for what purpose - its hard to hide a civilization - here is a challenge what would have been needed to hide the Sumerian, Minoan or Harappa civilizations?

I'm referring to the technology we currently have. I'm not saying they were hiding civilizations, but rather they could be hiding the technology that they have discovered.
