It's actually quite possible that earth has had one or more technologically advanced, for certain definitions of the term, lifeforms in its 4 billion year history but these have all been wiped out in one way or another before being able to leave any significant trace in the geological record. The best evidence against this is the lack of evidence of plastics and isotopes indicative of atomic energy use.
- grishka 6y agoThere are those Egyptian artifacts that we would've struggled to replicate even with our current technology.

- todd8 6y agoNice, I've seen large Egyptian exhibits at the Louvre and the King Tut traveling exhibit in San Fransisco. Very impressive indeed. The same day I saw the King Tut exhibit I also saw an exhibit from feudal Japan. The workmanship of the Japanese items was absolutely stunning, much more impressive than the King Tut items as one would expect from a period many centuries later. All of these examples were still done by hand. It's hard to imagine a person in the modern era devoting a lifetime to make only a handful of swords. What makes these items interesting is that they were made without modern tools or technology. Today our manufacturing technology could replicate these achievements easily. Even common items like grave tombstones can be produced in short order with highly polished stone and precise engraving. See [1].
