    something to consider: When I was working as a comp sci student at sheffield university there was a project for storing data on crystals using lasers to flip the electrons (bits). We found some crystals dug up from the ground were essentially pre formatted, and not at all random as expected. I still dont know if there was ever an explanation for this - but at the time it was very bizarre and cause a lot of UFO types some big interest. Personally I believe that human civilization was more advanced pre the near extinction event aprox 13k years ago, I think this the most likely explanation for various artifacts that have been found, including those pre formatted crystals.

    There's an old sci-fi short story called "The Green Maurader" by Larry Niven (from his 'Draco Tavern' series) in which an immensely long-lived alien tells a shocked human about the species that was inhabiting Earth the last time she swung through this neck of the woods, _before aerobic bacteria transformed the atmosphere_ and wiped them out. Apparently she was sad that they, and all trace of their bio-based (and hence bio-degradeable), technology gone because she liked their arts and music. Not to worry though, the oxygen-breathing evolved apes were quite interesting in themselves and would provide much for her to trade and entertain herself with on her travels. The human was left to wonder about what the alien would find on her next circuit of the galaxy, and who, or what, she'd be telling stories about him to... (Edited to include correct names of the stories and the sex of the alien)

    The story is called "The Green Maurader" by indeed Larry Niven. It was part of the book "The Draco Tavern", also by Larry Niven. However, there is a book called "Tales from the Spaceport Bar", edited by George H. Scithers and Darrell Schweitz. This is collection of short scifi stories (basically like "The Draco Tavern") and the first story in this book just happens to be that same "The Green Maurader" by Larry Niven. So props for your memory OP!

    I can roll with that, it's totally understandable that without current information and knowledge that something unknown would end up being described in an exaggerated manner and end up as lore rather than history, to modern people.

    You would need better evidence to be able to know if that was truly the case or not though. Like I can say that the Greeks, Egyptians or any other ancient civilization believed in aliens because they worshipped gods that lived in the sky, but that doesn't make it an accurate statement. Although it makes sense to us from our modern perspective that it could be the case, it doesn't always mean it was the case. People have made up stories for a very, VERY long time and there's not a good way of knowing if those stories had any truth in them or if they were entirely fiction or to what degree they were fictional or truthful. We would need some sort of written or physical evidence that suggests that ancient civilizations did paleontology to be able to draw connections like this.

    Archaeologist here: There is also the issue of cultural layers. Much like dendrochronology (tree rings dating), where every year a tree's rings are dependent on weather and temprature fluctuations, and the possibility to look into the past trough the width and colour of the rings themselves; the earth itself works the same way. If you take a shovel, and go into your backyard and digg a hole; you will notice that the dirt has different layers, with different colours and types of minerals. Theese "layers" are what is know as cultural layers; they correspond directly to the past in terms of temperature, weather, and the overall climate. If there was an advanced species that had somehow spread worldwide, it would leave relatively obvious traces in terms of chemicals and minerals had it ever gotten remotely close to the technological status of humankind today. Altough you wouldn't be able to see anything humankind created (if we were to suddenly vanish) in a relatively short time period, the cultural layers are still there, and won't dissapear within just a few hundred millions of years.

    Yeah. Unless the earth's land masses drifted apart like a continental drift and giant land masses were buried or something that's been proven over and over leaving a previously advanced civilization mostly underwater. Like 71% of the planet is, and in the same breath...unexplored. But yeah, assuming we go extinct and aren't luckily buried in an area that is lost in water that has consistently risen 1312 ft/four and a half football fields since the last ice age, there would be plenty of evidence in the rocks like our ancestors. Except that's all there would be EVEN THEN. Rocks. There would be no evidence of how huge, advanced, and technologically capable we were. Entire species have went without fossilizing too, and we likely won't. Worth noting.

    I asked ChatGPT: Objects that could potentially last a few hundred million years, particularly in space where environmental conditions are vastly different from Earth, include: 1. **Spacecraft on Stable Trajectories**: Spacecraft like Voyager and Pioneer probes, if they avoid collisions and gravitational disturbances. 2. **Lunar and Martian Artifacts**: Objects left on the Moon or Mars, such as landers and rovers, shielded from atmospheric erosion. 3. **Satellites in Stable, High Orbits**: Geostationary satellites or those in distant orbits, barring collisions with space debris. 4. **Objects Buried on Celestial Bodies**: Artifacts buried under the surface of the Moon or Mars, protected from surface conditions. 5. **Deep Space Probes**: Probes sent on trajectories out of the solar system, drifting through interstellar space. 6. **Metallic Asteroids or Space Structures**: Metal-rich asteroids or structures built from durable metals like titanium or stainless steel, which resist corrosion and wear. 7. **Nuclear Waste Encapsulation**: Specially designed containers for radioactive waste, engineered for long-term stability. 8. **Time Capsules in Space**: Specially designed and shielded time capsules intended for preservation over geological timescales. 9. **Artificial Objects on Dwarf Planets**: Artifacts left on dwarf planets like Pluto, where they would be subject to minimal erosive forces. 10. **Data Storage Media**: Advanced data storage media designed for extreme longevity, though their data readability might degrade faster than the physical medium. These projections are based on our understanding of material science, space conditions, and celestial mechanics. The actual longevity could vary based on numerous unforeseen factors in the space environment.

    Here's the thing most need to remember. We already had many related species that we ousted in competition, some in which we diverge from Genus wise. Some of their genetics even survive today. Remember Cro Magnon? Homo-erectus? Neanderthal? Denisovans? Floresiensis? In fact, Cro Magnon were likely in competition with Neanderthal during the period of rapid climate change. H. Sapiens most likely caused the downfall of the Denisovans 40-50 thousand years ago. Floresiensis were most likely wiped out mostly due to rampant volcanic activities. 300,000 years ago at the least 9 humanoid species roamed this planet. There were many competitive struggles along that long history. This process of evolution is able the fittest. Not smartest, not strongest, albeit in some scenarios that could help. Let us realize we can extinct ourselves, again.

    The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event occurred 489 million years ago, this is the first recorded time that life started to really spread and diversify. 65 million years ago an extinction event wiped out almost everything, but smaller animals were able to survive and flourish afterwards. It took 65 million years to go from that to where we are now. Given these time spans, there is the possibility for life to have evolved to the point that we are at 7 times since the start of Ordovician Biodiversification Event, and there is always a possibility that the evolution of a species to our level may not have taken place on land...the dolphins evolution has allowed them to utilise more of their brain capacity than we do, and they have naturally developed an echo location system better than anything we can build . When it comes to fossilised evidence, numerous sentient cultures reduce their dead to ashes, so that can't be an expectation. Our history, or lack thereof must also been taken into account...how much further would we be on the road of scientific advancement today if we had not had certain events of the past like the destruction of the Library of Alexandria, or the Dark Ages???

    You know? One thing I love about this channel is how you tackle stuff in such an empty-cup kind of way. In this parody of a society that we live in, that is so rare. The vast majority of people, especially as you look higher and higher on the property ladder, are just full-cup about everything they can be, so to hear someone talking and showing an understanding of the first step to learning anything is a definite breath of fresh air. I would suggest that, maybe, just speculation, there have been ancient terms, if not for fossils, then at least originating from their discovery. In fact, I’m mostly going on humane trends today, in combination with the clear statistical lack of inclination for the “princes of the universe” and their zombies, (Satirical nicknames) towards a genuine change away from reducing people to mere property and killing and committing genocides and so on, but I wouldn’t be surprised if stories of dragons started off with people finding dinosaur fossils, way back when, and trying to imagine what they must have been like when they were still alive. And no, I’m not simply making a very painful joke, even if it is no more than speculation.

    This took me back. I wrote some sci-fi which was pretty much about this - a past civilization with a different evolution from us, anyway. Great job putting a smile on my face! When it comes to discovering someone from the past, everything would depend on what they made, and when and where it was made. If a civilization was put where geology (e.g. on the wrong side of subducting plates, the Deccan traps, etc.) could get at it, we'd probably never see it just because the plates move at 5cm a year (on average) so they'd be squished under the other plate, and the traps are so massive and made of really hard rock, we could never feasibly dig to look. _Could_ it have happened? I guess so. Do I think it did? No. I do think we'd have some evidence if they did, especially as we have satellites that can see below the Earth's surface. Even a single civilization would have spread its settlements, and unless they were _really_ stupid and didn't develop geology as a science (I'm assuming we're talking about "people" that far advanced), they'd probably have most settlements on the safer, rising plate. (Excuse my brain death, I can't remember the word for said plate. Am currently knackered.)

    No civilization thousands or millions of years ago would have expected the poles to melt and the oceans to rise to the levels they are today. Our civilization *now* has a hard time rationalizing the sea level rise in our own lifetimes, and we know from history that there were settlements at the bottom of the Black Sea and off the coast of India. Go back far enough and there could be cities at the bottom of the Persian Gulf, The Mediterranean, and off the continental shelves of basically every land mass currently. The myth of Atlantis can be found globally, and it all describes the same thing: a vast "nation" of 13 kingdoms that was wiped out by a cataclysmic flood event. I used to think Atlantis was a fairy tale but now that I'm older I have more faith in it being real than any of the Abrahamic religions. In fact I think all the tales in the holy books across the world describe history before there was history.

    @@cozmothemagician7243 so not only do you think that there IS NOT another printed coin out there that you just dont know about, but you think the first coin ever made was time stamped, and has survived readably to this day? 😂

    No. They would not survive in their manufactured state. At all.

    I remember the episode of Star Trek Voyager that was about this very subject it was an episode where a specific species of dinosaur had evolved and were religious fanatics that were highly advanced technologically compared to Humans. They had some matching DNA and were able to confirm that they came from the same planet but the religious group were extremely against the belief. Ever since that episode I wondered if it were actually possible if another species was able to evolve on this planet its certainly fascinating.

    Duh of course there were. Why wouldn't it. The earth is 4 billion years old. Humans developed in 300000 yrs approx or even less. Why wouldn't u think millions of years ago advanced civilization have existed before humans
