quote:If an industrial civilization had existed on Earth many millions of years prior to our own era, what traces would it have left and would they be detectable today? We summarize the likely geological fingerprint of the Anthropocene, and demonstrate that while clear, it will not differ greatly in many respects from other known events in the geological record. We then propose tests that could plausibly distinguish an industrial cause from an otherwise naturally occurring climate event. https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/04/are-we-earths-only-civilization/557180/ https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.03748 Pretty cool poo poo to think about. Did the lizard civilization survive the asteroid collision? Do they still exist? Are they influencing our civilization? And what the hell do they look like?

I don’t think asteroids come out of orbit because of magnets and poo poo op. I read Isaac Asstomouth books growing up and they had pictures of greys in turtlenecks so I think mf knows what he’s talkin about.

Oil is just the result of aliens emptying out the septic tanks of their space RV's when they swung by Earth for a pit stop.

Neat theory. How could we even begin to discern the composition of a civilizations accumulated waste or byproducts when they're millions of years removed from us?

I have long suspected there were actually civilizations during the Silurian and other periods, because their continents had much cooler names than ours. "Laurasia" and the "Tethys ocean", that just kicks rear end, and if there weren't anyone around to appreciate that, well that would just be a tremendous waste. Nature is not wasteful imo

The Nazis had a deal with the last survivors of their race, but then their leader expressed a fondness for the Marx brothers so Hitler had them killed. You can see them, clearance level depending, preserved in big formaldehyde tanks at Area 51.

I guess the real question is if there were goons during the Silurian. I'd say yes! I have seen fossils of trilobites contorted in strange angles that indicate some of them may have been goons.
