I definitely believe the Vedic tales are basically and perhaps totally true, and I think that Vedic wisdom, e.g. the Bhagavad Gita, is a treasure bequeathed to us from the Vedic Civilization.
I also cannot imagine how the ancient Peruvian walls could have been constructed without some kind of vitrification or the structures of Puma Punku have been constructed without the technology of some advanced civilization.
Maybe the metals were recycled. Certainly gold and other precious metals would have been confiscated, but it does seem, to me, that some remnants would have remained. Out of place artifacts offer explanations, maybe all the explanation needed.
I appreciate your wise responses to my questions.
What should be considered an advanced civilization? Of course going to the moon would be considered advanced. But anything above hunter-gatherer should be considered advanced—right?
I also think that “technology” could have had a different path than what we proceeded on post Younger Dryas...Use of sound is the method that I prefer that we humans once used, but I could be way off.
I think Graham Hancock would also believe that advanced civilizations of the past do not include ancient aliens, nor spaceships or crystal lasers—but more mundane aspects of civilization like maybe sweage disposal or running water or even time keeping, or alphabets—things like that...
Veliokovsky (sic) as well as Hancock spoke of the collective amnesia. The works of Randall Carlson regarding the Day of the Dead touches upon this as the entire world has such a holiday in the same time period of the calendar that speaks of a great calamity.

Underwater archeology is what Hancock says should be the next great thing in terms of discovery as Oceans rose some 100m following the glacial melt 12Kya. Coastlines were extended some distance if not miles into the today’s oceans and we do know that peoples lived along coasts where food gathering was easier.
There is much to learn still about our past and it would be egotistical to insist that we are the bees knees. Remember—when civilization was destroyed—all the inventions to date were also destroyed as well as the knowledge to make them. Think arrow heads...to good ones have been found up to a certain date...then blank—then shoddy arrow heads were found...why? Because those that had not hunted needed to hunt and had not the skills to create the perfect heads-—
Think about it. a wheeled cart. All the carts have been destroyed, as well ascart-makers. The next carts produced are based upon memory as a child on how they may have looked, thus the new creations are not as good as the former, older ones. That is when one knows that a prior society has been destroyed—the new stuff is not better than the old...
It is all fascinating indeed.
