I don't necessarily want to start a giant derail here, but this thing has some social significance in that it resuscitated some pseudo-scientific claims about advanced ancient human civilizations ala Atlantis, that suffered cataclysm and disappeared from history.

If you consider that we are probably not the only intelligent species on the planet just now, it sounds at least plausible to me.
