I have heard rumors of a type 2 civ called the Dysons

They make great vacuums

There are examples of polygonal masonry around the world which is pretty fascinating to me and many others.
There are also machine tool marks on truly ancient structures and caves that defy mainstream archeology doctrine, also worldwide.
It appears an ancient advanced global civilization existed and was wiped out by massive chunks of a comet around 12,000 years ago, around the time Gobekli Tepi was constructed and then intentionally buried.
Ancient aliens? Maybe, more like humans who were helped by extraterrestrials in the distant past, I don't know - but it's interesting to say the least.

I say...whatever ET wants, the answer is NO.

"“[It’s] essentially any artificial structure built by an intelligent civilization perhaps for energy harvesting"

Energy harvesting?? Only UN-intelligent civilizations fail to use nuclear sources for energy.

[Irenic]

Oh pfffft. If we could find buildings/energy harvesters that were created by intelligent civilizations— they would have already come to earth and squished humans like a bug.

[algore]

I have wondered how long advanced civilizations keep durable records for.

And if they did, would we recognize it.

I doubt it very much.

In 20 years almost all knowledge will be in the clouds

If civ is decimated for 1000 years what would future archeologists think? how about if it were 5000 years?

Data retention is hard

Every one knows that all the aliens were “greenies!”

[JustaTech]

It seems odd that an “advanced” civilization would make a Gobekli Tepi and only draw pictures of animals on slabs of rock. Maybe it was done some time post-disaster when the “advanced” aspect had already been wiped out, and they buried it in case whatever it was happened again.

There’s a book named The Story of Adam and Eve in the CIA reading library, which claims the Earth’s axis of rotation shifted (I would speculate it was only temporarily if it happened) due to ice buildup at the poles thousands of years ago and that caused the oceans to wash over the continents. Supposedly only a few illiterate clans at high altitudes survived, therefore it was basically a hard reset for civilization.

And supposedly that wasn’t the first time.

The Altantis tale may plug into this as well.

Strangely enough, that is why I’m working on a 5,000 year project.

“Only UN-intelligent civilizations fail to use nuclear sources for energy.”

The max possible power output of all the fissile elements on Earth is pinprick compared to to energy the Sun puts out in a day. For any advanced civilization nuclear fission would have long been replaced.

SETI has been a fraud and a waste of resources from day one.

There are millions of humans on this planet claiming they are talking to ETs of various kinds, while the “scientists” call them kooks and cranks—meanwhile searching the outer reaches of the galaxy looking for ETs.

They are like ants looking for humans on other planets and being unable to find any....
