Do you think the world has ever been this technologically advanced?

Question

Do you think that in unrecorded history, maybe billions of years ago, it is possible that technology ever existed to the extent it does now? Maybe civilisation was destroyed and they started from scratch... any thoughts?

Answer 1

That is worth a thought, you could be on to something.

Answer 2

possible before one or more times of our last ice ages...but we would never find out....we def. didn't emit more carbon dioxide though....found in the ice layers...so my guess is we prob werre!!!!

Answer 3

no, civilization wasnt destroyed and recreated, there would have been some sort of evidence left

edit - unless you think dinosaurs evolved AFTER humanity

edit - below yeah but the Mayans didnt have advanced technology by todays standards

edit - great flood **sigh*** it doesnt matter how big the flood was, if a civilization with advanced technology (read the question, the asker is saying more advanced than today) had existed then became extinct some sort of evidence of their existence would have been left

edit - oh and the meteorite didnt wipe out all traces of the dinosaurs, have you not heard of the fossil record?

Answer 4

I don't think so.... but it's an interesting concept !!

Answer 5

It's certainly possible. There have even been examples of advanced societies being wiped out in recent history - think of the Mayans!

Answer 6

" Do you think the world has ever been this

technologically advanced?" . . .

No, i think it was more, something we can't

even begin to conceive, but then they left the

planet, stoping by every now and then when

there in the neighborhood, whenever they

need a good laugh, we call them extraterestrial

life, i'd love to know what they call us . . .

Answer 7

I've always wondered this. In fact, I can remember having a long conversation with someone years ago with regards to the feasibility of this very suggestion. Some people believe that Atlantis was like this, although I don't know how the technology wouldn't have travelled to other continents that still exist above sea level.

We came to the conclusion that the world could have been practically destroyed (think of the meteor that killed the dinosaurs) and regenerated itself, leaving no trace of what had happened before... who is to say that we didn't get to this very point, and then destroy ourselves along with most of the earth? Is it possible that the crust was removed completely, and part of the mantle was damaged, and that every trace of anything we see today happened subsequently?

There could be many explanations... =oD

Answer 8

that is exactly what i think. the "great flood" (tsunami) destroyed a lot of evidence and there is a lot of books on it. civilization had to start all over from dirt. david icke wrote several books about it , but i have a hard time with his alien ideas.

Answer 9

The world gets more advanced every year. This question is already obsolete in technology terms, it moves on that quickly.

Answer 10

No. There would be evidence, and there is none.

Beside, billions of years ago there was no multi-cellular life on earth!

Answer 11

I think it is possible.
