Anyway, I like the idea that in 100K years there'd be almost nothing left of our civilization (metal, rubble, plastics), so it's not crazy to think we are missing out on a large chunk of history. Apparently modern humans were anatomically/brain wise +/-identical for 500K years and we only "exploded" as modern civilizations in the last 10000 ? seems unlikely... Plate tectonics/sea levels/erosion may hide a lot from us, if anything global warning may reveal some cool ruins under the melting ice !

Yep, at one point the Mediterranean was a valley below sea level until the "dam" between Europe and Africa breached and filled essentially separating the two. Also, I believe evidence of fairly large settlements have been found off, I think, the east coast of the UK that are now under water.

There's lots of stuff that we can't explain these days that was done by past civilizations. There's no reason to think that there weren't civilizations before that that did stuff that has been erased and/or hidden by time.
