Its possible there is a good explanation for why there would be no strong fossil record[0] for an advanced civilization preceding us. >When it comes to direct evidence of an industrial civilization—things like cities, factories, and roads—the geologic record doesn’t go back past what’s called the Quaternary period 2.6 million years ago. For example, the oldest large-scale stretch of ancient surface lies in the Negev Desert. It’s “just” 1.8 million years old—older surfaces are mostly visible in cross section via something like a cliff face or rock cuts. While I think its highly unlikely (I mean less than 0.00001% possible) the means in which we would could even detect it are complicated [0]: https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/04/are-we-e... |
