@strangeology: They don’t even want to entertain this idea, but if someone was around before us, and are still here pulling the strings… well I guess we might be cooked 🥀 #lostcivilizations #theory #conspiracy #interesting #History

sitsearT :

Palace of Versailles is from a past society imo

backnod :

The Silurian Hypothesis is one of my favorite rabbit holes even though it is extremely unlikely.

ProjectSlaz :

I thought we all knew?

waldowaldoson :

if I remember correctly the troodon, probably butured the name, had a higher brain to body ratio than us and were developing close to opposable thumbs

tylerum1 :

isn't something like 90% of the ocean unexplored? that's a lot of area for something to be hidden in

Willis :

this was an episode of star trek voyager. "distant origin"

YaoiHandsMachamp :

Issue is, while it is potentially unlikely for there to be fossils (I’m sure our fossil records currently hold less than 1% of the species from each era they’re from for instance), there still would be some kind of further evidence. Our industrial era wasn’t all that long but we very quickly tapped into radioactive materials (even before the nukes), which should still show up within our own “fossils” millions of years from now, but just as radioactive decay byproduct, right? We may not see steel beams from some past civilization, but there still would be some kind of evidence in sediment beyond that of just a high spike in carbon.

Eric Gould :

this is an entirely possible theory🔥

torima6953 :

100,000-300,000 years is more than enough for advanced civilization to rise and fall in between each million of years gap

chiefsFanSixtySeven :

Definitely possible, but it’s basically all speculation without any real evidence

Matt :

so how old is the earth really??

GVB :

Doctor Who.

Joseph Madison :

a startreck episode

Quasar :

I love this idea. I want more scifi exploring it

Hugo prometheus :

Didn't star trek voyager did an episode about this?

Antonio Stevens :

Nope we would never know.

Grizzly Adams :

Well ive always been here

Some Dude :

Dingo :

Love the trek view of this

Zorapsyclobin :

Makes me think of those ancient iron pipes that exist in that mountain, that predate the technology to create iron pipes at all, let alone at that size.

Jonathan (RIP JDF) :

tylerum1 :

leviper202210 :

It’s about time we started asking these questions

The wheel of time turns
