Many researchers, traditional and not so, believe that we are not the first advanced civilization that existed on Earth. Moreover, they argue that in the prehistoric era there could have been several such cultures that flourished, and then declined and disappeared.
While this sounds fantastic to most people, when you look at it, such claims no longer seem crazy, not least when you think about what might happen to us when everything ends. When life begins again, no one will remember that we even existed. If so, then who can say that there were no highly developed civilizations thousands of years before ours?
So, what happens to a highly developed society in the event of a global catastrophe?
Shutdown of power plants
Suppose modern civilization is destroyed. Whether it's a sudden super-infectious virus, a meteorite, a solar flare, a nuclear war, or even an alien invasion. If this happens, life will disappear. Many do not understand all the fragility of our existence on Earth.
Surely some will survive, but where do they get their energy? If there is no one left to maintain the power plants, the world's electricity supply will quickly stop. Many power plants will go into safe mode to avoid disaster.

Ultimately, without personnel, the water cooling the nuclear power plant will soon run out. The Chernobyl scenarios will unfold across the planet. In short, you don't want to be around.
Destruction of man-made objects
Most man-made objects made of wood, plastic, metal, or anything other than stone will simply disappear. Up to roads and streets, which will be completely absorbed by vegetation for several decades. In a couple of centuries, the metal frames of buildings and bridges around the world will rust, break and collapse.
Only ruins and ruins will remain. Within 10,000 years, which is only an instant in terms of geological time, almost everything else will turn to stone. Only that which was built exclusively of stone will remain in a recognizable form (although it may be buried). Over time, like the ancient sites of today, these ruins can be rebuilt piece by piece.
Only stones will remain
Is it not surprising that only buildings, monuments and statues carved out of stone remain from the ancient civilizations? There were many, many other things at that time. This is because only objects made of stone will stand the test of time. And even then, the remains will already be at the disposal of future civilizations and researchers, who will take the most valuable, leaving the unnecessary, as was the case with the Egyptian pyramids. With this in mind, how many of our modern structures are capable of surviving thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years? Ironically, only ancient structures that have proven their viability will survive. So aren't they older than we think? Who then did they belong to?
Myths and legends
While ancient traditions are certainly not the same as stone monuments, should we pay more attention to myths and legends that have persisted in many cultures for thousands of years? For example, was there really a big flood, even just a few localized but significant floods that wiped out entire communities?
Such disasters would surely seem like the end of the world for those civilizations that have experienced them. What about tales of "gods" - supreme beings with advanced technology who ruled over humanity? Are these really legends? Or maybe there is some truth in such stories? What if the "gods" of the past were victims of the destruction of an even more ancient advanced civilization? Could this explain their strengths (or advanced technology)? Or advanced knowledge?
Ancient Egypt
If we look at the ancient Egyptians, it is quite obvious that they seem to have started their civilization at the height of their power, and then gradually tended to decline. For some researchers, with whom most scientists disagree, this suggests that the Egyptians "captured" the remnants of a "lost" civilization. Such theories usually lead to the assertion that such ancient structures as the pyramids are more likely monuments and buildings of the Atlanteans than the Egyptians themselves.
Survivors will become cavemen
Now suppose some people have experienced a hypothetical end of the world. What will happen to them? They most likely will not be looking for technology or things of this nature. After the system stops working, the power plants will shut down, they will worry more about their survival than anything else. They will no longer be at the top of the food chain. Without the help of a multitude of technological gadgets and structures, many survivors will be easy prey for hungry wild animals.
The survivors would be busy hunting, gathering food, and seeking shelter. As generations change, the connection of humanity with the "old" world will return. In a few decades, stories about the Earth before disasters will be no different from myths and legends. In short, life will start from scratch again.
Mysterious finds
Another interesting point, and perhaps proof, is the numerous finds of ancient artifacts that appear to be the results of intelligent design dating back long before such objects could have existed. Moreover, they are found all over the planet.
For example, in 1912, in the small town of Wilburton, Oklahoma, two power plant workers discovered an oversized piece of coal that they could not put into a furnace. They broke the coal into smaller pieces so they could be thrown into the fire. However, when they did, an iron pot fell to the floor. It was checked and found to be genuine. Why was it in a coal that was about a million years old?
Even stranger are spheres made of some very heavy substance, presumably from mines in South Africa. These spheres have quirky grooves and designs.
Finds of tools
Like mysterious artifacts, tools were discovered in pieces of stones that, according to science, are millions of years old. One particularly intriguing case occurred in London, Texas, in 1936, when a hammer was found in a piece of rock that some believe was 400 million years old (others say only 700).
In 1944, a ten-year-old boy Newton Anderson found a handmade bell in a lump of coal. The coal was reported to be 300 million years old. Numerous other finds of strange, seemingly ancient objects are recorded, many from the 1800s and earlier. Many other examples are given in Forbidden Archeology.
Advanced technologies of antiquity
Historians do not agree that ancient civilizations, including Egyptian and Sumerian, used advanced technologies in the distant past. However, this is supported by a number of facts, not least the clearly advanced knowledge of the cosmos and the workings of the universe. Even the placement of many of their famous objects reflects the arrangement of the stars and planets to such an accuracy that such knowledge cannot be denied.
We could also look at devices such as the Baghdad battery or acid traces in the passages of the Cheops pyramid, which suggest the generation of electricity. And many places around the world show signs of nuclear explosions in the distant past. Mohenjo-daro is a prime example. Some researchers, especially David Davenport in his book Atomic Destruction in 2000 BC. e”, suggested that nuclear weapons were deliberately created there. This, of course, supports the assumption that there was an advanced civilization.
