Earth has been around at least for billions of years. Our modern existence is only of about few hundred years. It'd be over estimating ourselves to think that a civilization like us never existed on Earth let alone other planets. As the technology keeps on miniaturizing, there'll be a point at which the verbose existence of technology would largely be no longer there. In that state, if the civilization is reset due to some cosmic incident, a tech civilization like us in far future will think about themselves in the same way. We do read about Atlantis like legend and consider them a myth similarly, we'd be a myth for such future civilization.
- lucbocahut 5y agoI am rereading a novel from French author René Barjavel: “the ice people” on this exact theme. Scientists in the South Pole discover an ancient civilization 900k years old. Its also fun because he anticipates the near future quite accurately from 1968 when he wrote it. Well worth a read. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ice_People_(Barjavel_novel) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ice_People_(Barjavel_nov...
