I think you are on to something and I think those civilizations were here and were destroyed in the time frame between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. What happened in that era could have been apocalyptical for Earth and the solar system in general.

We could build it today. What’s amazing is the resources needed to do so. People, food, time, ….
The same with other sites.

There was a destruction on this planet, and maybe others. It speaks of it in manuscripts. The Katabol, the overthrow. When 1/3 of the Angels followed Lucifer and rebelled against The Creator. It isn’t specifically written about, but there was mass destruction. It is hinted at and written in Peter and the hinted part is in Genesis and elsewhere.

Shows like this, are just questioning writ large. It is what humans do, and it is fun.

Just?
I guess history does not interest you. There is no other explanation that explains the extinction of the Mega Fauna, the Black Mat, the Carolina Bays, and the Nebraska Rainwater basins, all at the same time in history. Not to mention the Megalithic store structures that are built using the same building techniques, etc.

Sixteen catastrophic extinction events if the 3rd Magnitude before present time. All geologically captured... to wax biblically “and the rocks cry out” is an incredibly astute and observable statement.

Indeed, I find the discussions of these cataclysmic events, and how remnants of human civilizations may have survived them, fascinating. Like Gobekli Tepe, there are probably hundreds of yet to be discovered sites pushing back the origin of advanced human civilizations. How many civilizations might lie under the sands of the Sahara alone? Interesting stuff.
To: ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton
“Civilization was either more advanced than we give it credit for or aliens came and helped.”
There is actually a third alternative.
Some folks claim there is an Akashic Record or a Superintelligence that may be just an artifact of the universe or alien intelligence of some kind—and the ancients found ways to “tap into” that frequency.
No travel by anyone would be required.

I think you are on to something and I think those civilizations were here and were destroyed in the time frame between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. I heard that theory from an elder in a church I went to some 40+ years ago.
He knew Hebrew and said there was a change in tense from verse 1 to verse 2 that indicated that verse 1 indicated creation of something new, never created before, where verse 2 was indicating a recreating, or restoring of something previously created then destroyed.
He told me that initially earth was a place of great mineral beauty.

yes, I now realize how lucky I was in my twenties that the company basically sent me to clients or offshore centers, so I got to see a lot of places on the company’s dime.
Now in my forties I don’t feel that eager to travel, so I count my blessings

I watched the first episode. They used geophysical methods to locate “voids” below the old pyramid structure in Indonesia.
They drilled the site. They never drilled into any voids, yet kept talking about the “burial chambers”, etc. I haven’t watched anymore of it.

I am watching the series as well. Nothing outrageous at all about it.
To: wgmalabama
So being able to muster resources proves they are the work of an advanced pre-historic civilization or the work of aliens.
BTW, please let me know when you find a modern crane capable of lifting 750 tons of stones like those in Baalbek:

Not aliens but lots of people, animals …. Another view is presented in Genesis.
