Quote by: Thanatos  Nah, this is Earth's first time with a civilization at this level. In a million years alien archaeologists may show up and find fossilized disposable diapers and unopened bags of cheetoes. Our nuclear waste dumps will still be almost as active as the day they were built. Cities can burn or wash away, but buried garbage is forever.
Perhaps I was too harsh: if they were slightly less ecologically destructive or never built cities outside of zones that have since been glaciated I suppose it works. Perhaps there's an Atlantean garbage dump somewhere on the bottom of the ocean just full of fossilized automobiles. Still, there has never been something quite like modern times. |
Perhaps evidence of a Atlantean culture is now frozen under the ice at the South Pole, as that land was once fairly dry with no ice caps. Perhaps the human race did not start off in Africa and then walk over to South America via the northern passage, perhaps it started off at the South Pole and forced by climate change to move north towards warmer areas, moving up through Africa and South America, where they ended up constructing new cities in Sumer and Eqypt and China and likewise in South America and into Mexico. (pyramids at both places).
Plus we have this to contend with...
