What If We’re NOT the First Human Civilization? (Michael Button)

What if Human Civilisation rose before, in Ancient pre-history? Is it possible? The evidence would suggest yes...

The previous interglacial warming period, known as the 'Eemian' period, was 130 to 115,000 years ago. This period was longer than the current warm period, known as the Holocene, has been so far. Considering modern humans had already been around for at least 175,000 years by the start of the 'Eemian', why couldn’t civilisation have flourished then as it has now? The conditions were optimal, it lasted more than enough time, we’d been around for 100s of 1000s of years already and according to the mainstream view, it is a warmer climate that led to civilisation developing.

So is it really so absurd to think it could have happened then, aswell as now?



A very short summary of the issue. However, there would be strong signs of our present civilisation that would still be evident 100,000 years later, including glass and concrete constructions, or the ruins of it. However, very little of anything built near the sea during an Ice Age would remain, and little would remain of a civilisation that was Medieval in character.
