Just a theory. But what if there were humans in the past that were more advanced than people are now. I mean, we have been around for around 200,000 years, but only the past 20,000 years have really got humanity to where it is now. Just 300 years ago, the idea of having electric cars, smartphones, and other technologies was almost unimaginable. And obviously the technology people had 3000 years ago is nothing compared to what we have now. So, what exactly was stopping, lets say humans 80 thousand years ago from creating their own highly advanced society? What about the past 180,000 years humans existed? Humanity has had 10 times the chance to get to where we are now. The Quran talks about how many past civilizations (that were advanced) were wiped out. Maybe some of them wiped themselves out. Who knows. So what do you guys think? Do you think humans arent even advanced now and people had something way more crazy?
