Hi Alex,
Yes, I have thought about it, quite a bit over the past couple of years or so.
There easily could have been a civilization that were wiped out, or at least their technology wiped out. And those large stones/blocks that the 'ancients, (past civilization)' built with, very similar in different places around the world is interesting at the least.
As far as big craters go, there is an article in the latest "Science Illustrated' which mentions the one they found in Greenland recently, 31 km wide. About 13,000 years ago they are guessing at the moment and if correct, could very easily be something that wiped out a previous civilization if it existed before hand.
If there was a civilization that had some form of technology that existed before an cataclysmic event, they may have known that this meteor was coming way years beforehand and had time to evacuate. Who knows where, another planet/moon underground, another galaxy, another universe? They could have left 20,000 years ago and the ones left behind are, us. ??
They may even have come back to get us, but when they got here, they took 1 look and 'Oh My, let's get out of here!'.
I'm voting that there was a civilization before, simply based on all the very old, big stuff around and there have been no logical explanations to date. I would also imagine they were science based rather than religious based folk and all the building type structures were also built for science or lifestyle reasons.
Just some light thinking anyhow. Great topic.
Cheers,
Damien

The interesting thing is so many cultures have in their history a great flood. And although it is probable that any flood was not like the biblical flood it certainly seems from the ice cores a sea level rise of 30 feet within 24 hours did occur followed by a further rise of 400 feet over the following year or two...that could hide an earlier civilization ..if that happened to us it would mean places like New York and London would be 400 feet under water and covered by heaps of silt for folk looking 10,000 years from now.
So have you looked at this proposition at all...
The proposal is that a comet hit North America and that caused the sea to rise..there is a possible crator but as it is under a lot of ice they have not dated it as yet..but if that crator is dated at approx 12000 years ago it is clear that our history is different to that we have believed.
Have you looked at the possibility that a civilization existed and wiped out 12000 years ago.
It certainly seems most cultures talk of a flood which may suggest there is something to the findings of a dramatic sea level rise.
If the crator turns out to be 12000 years old will put history need to be rewritten?
