>>54194Genetically we think that humans have existed from 100k to 200k years so seeing as to how history only goes back to 10k of course we could have had lost civilizations that were advanced. The obvious issue is that materials break down very fast. It's like that one show about after humans die, after just a couple thousand 99.9 percent of our materials we created will be literal dust. Everything but stone tends to get ruined and fast.
Then there's lizards from millions of years ago too. That's also possible.
About cycles though, everyone knows that but some naive patriot normalfaggot. The average middle ages kingdom died in a couple hundred years, humans need a village to make a man, a culture to make them know how to be human, so you go back to 'caveman days' as soon as you kingdom falls if there's not another one around to dictate behavior. They all fall. The only reason ours hasn't yet is because we are headed away from an ice age. Towards one and the societies all fall of which happens every few thousand years. Less food, less people, less geniuses per year born, less technology, more stagnation, more stupidity, more crime, smaller brains, so you can walk around all day putting the proteins into the legs, etc. It's foolhardy to think that you can just be advanced during an ice age when humans as they are barely keep it together in paradise of which they complain about and make ridiculous rules therein for no real reason other than 'our ice age instincts haven't left us yet, let's be careful/conservative and stagnant/conservative'.
>>58769>No they like ghosts and to summon them!>>54253>check board>hobI'm pretty sure I have to call you out on being schizophrenic with this not being a paranormal board. Or is your hobby silly adrenaline rushes via camp fire bullshitery? Because conjecture over lost civilizations and ghosts are not even in the same ballparks much less solar system as far as I'm concerned. That schizophrenic that watches silly college kid made jewtube videos all day pisses me off in short.
Even if thinking open minded, the ghost, the aliens you see, the angels, they're probably reality glitches from parallel universes from what we know. If not then it's the 'machine elves' doing glitches or doings something important as there's something wrong with your house. Religious pandering otherwise, of which, they all tell you to go forth and prosper and try to make you be quelled in many many ways for the sake of being dominated. No omega male, no maverick, would cater to that.
>>54223Why did this thread take this direction?
The answer is religious culture as to why and that's everybody except maybe weird extreme left winger Asians that kill Abrahamics.
>>59393>12k>evolution is a lieReally asshole?
How many religious wizards are there here anyway and what religion told you 12k?
>>59120Do you mean that tablet that was too deep to be put there for it's age in the ocean?
>>59095Obviously it's possible, indeed, but also obviously the more advanced technology is the more it breaks easily or did you not notice? The pyramids would have been 1 percent of what was made while being surrounded by wooden objects and metals and even batteries we know about. They even say a drill head was there but you're not allowed to touch it that they used to bore those 'impossible holes'. You can't leave it behind because even if it's there some asshole immune to conjecture will say "It's a ceremonial structure" even if it's one of a kind.
>>59119>>59124The majority of volcanic activity is in between the two great continents and there's over 2k islands there to this day in between Russia and Alaska and if advanced humans existed they'd be egocentric enough to place themselves in the middle. Also smarter people always crave the arid regions so it'd be an island that got fucked over by the volcanic activity. No snowing and no 'top society'.
>>59092>>59085>>59084>>59083The bones are only calcium deposit outlines now so if you jigsaw them wrong and also if the animals were eating one another so the bones are rare then a carnivorous neanderthal would possibly have been giant.
Then again I think giants are legal pandering though it'd be cool if some very stable creature survived from days when the earth was newer and more full of oxygen and the land animals were all huge. Lots of them died recently like the Mammoth but an ape could have been giant too. Perhaps the pyramids were built by one of them and they worshipped the near immortal being and called it a god but it was a dumb sort of human so it/they could not read nor wright hence the neat little 'halfway phase' in the written language as though it was made for illogical dyslexics that couldn't remember symbols but instead only sounds.
>>58904The machine elves might be a thing but I don't believe in anything at all ever even if I do like supposing things.
>>58732You'd have to be literally Buddha to see the future. One with everything, at that point you'd be too overwhelmed to have a will of your own of which is the point of ascension. You are everything now, how could you do something when you are everything? So the person would be dead and undead at the same time to do that, dispersed. I think we die constantly though as electricity passes through us all and the ether is a void of souls that fly through everything. Spirit is the fuel and the pain of living but even if we were a rock there would probably be the etheral soul still there but only active in being simpler things that life forms. Less mechanical. No illusion of choice, of which yes it is one.

>>54855Do you use this word as a slur for people without faith in things? It means life has matter you realize, so I must assume you mean this.
