what exactly is your point?

Yes, but were they smelting any metal or even cold hammering copper? Charcoal burns much hotter than coal any sign of charcoal production?

well thats the point. at 25000bc they had all the tools and resources [by sheer luck]. what they did with them in the part of their territory where conditions were perfect [not dolni vestonice] after 25000bc is the problem

As did many other people, at many other places and many different times - the question is did they make the connections, take the initiative and produce metals or produce anything.
So like for many other questions and places in the world I can use my favorite phrase; 'more research and excavation are necessary'!

Tsunamis from asteroid impacts tend to be impressive
Although a few geologists have argued that it is possibly related to a Precambrian extraterrestrial impact and have compared it to Mare Crisium on the Moon, no credible evidence for such an impact crater has been found by regional magnetic, Bouguer gravity, and geologic studies

the wonderous thing is how much you can tell from only a single core sample. take for instance what neet things you could find out here at this vara

Well that is the thing - you need to find that slag!

something really wonderous from just one core is a giant rectangular vara that by sheer luck or divine inspiration survived the flood. waunder through some mythologies.

Myths and legends might act as stimulus to research but no matter how much you might want a myth to be taken as fact; they are not. To provide evidence of an unknown culture will require hard archaeological evidence and a great deal of work and time.
Sink some test pits, talk to the local farmers and see what their plows are bringing up, what have the local collectors found?
Until you dig that rectangle could be a Roman legionnaires campedit on 26/1/12 by Hanslune because: (no reason given)

the professions said that they should take a line of cores across the wall feature and they were able to determine when the wall was built without excavations. maybe they were wrong but its the government so what can you do. the date of the wall is enough for everyone right now. how long do they have to publish? 8-10years on the average? we all might get lucky. iarcuri only took 5years and its no far away.
you go for the olde 18th century axiom that everything big is roman don't you.

I don't deny the possibility, however, since you asked for an opinion, here goes:
"When do you think an advanced ancient civilization existed ?
Never
"Why?"
There's not a single iota of evidence for it.
