So once again it looks like we are coming to terms with the fact we still have no idea about our history on this planet. It just seems odd to me that we can have these advanced lost civilizations that apparently died out in our past.Its one thing for a country to break apart or what have you but to have entire civilizations lost to time, including their cities makes one wonder.What the heck occured in our history that resulted in the disappearence of entire peoples as well as their cities?Could it be possible that the lost civilizations that history seems to have supposedly forgotten actually have also been ruins / lost civilizations from antiquity?In this particular case the name of the people come from the Greek and Romans and not the indiginous people. Modern civilization looks for lost civilizations to catalogue and explore history.. What if the info we read in ancient texts arent portraying an active civilization at the time, but a civilization from what would be considered ancient in the days of the Roman / Greek civilizations?We have seen how translations of ancient text have been accidentally altered based on mistranslations / assumptions. Maybe it occured more often that we thought.
