Ancient Civilization

And isn't it strange how it doesn't matter what culture you are, you know what music is?

More for like 30000 years, our civilization is about 8000 years old

Spot on. I think it's highly unlikely (simply from the lack of fossil evidence) that dinosaurs ever mastered metalwork. They certainly wouldn't have had an industrialised society.

Dunno how many times it has split but most European languages (if not all) are based on Latin. Hence why alot of them sound alike.

Japanese and Chinese are very similiar,

Russian is a language all it's own I think,

Possible, but I did read something in the link about dinosaurs possibly reaching the moon (i.e. creating spacecraft, which really can almost only be built out of metal), and also bringing upon their own destruction via technology. What technology made of wood and stone could have the power to destroy an entire world of civilized creatures?

I'm pretty sure I never suggested dinosaur space travel. Correct me if I'm wrong.

You're right, but I know I wasn't making stuff up.  :?  I read somewhere suggesting it. Nevertheless, I revert to my latter question: What object, made of wood and stone could completely destroy all traces of dinosaur life?

~D-Draw

Dinosaurs didn't even have the physical bodies to perform complicated mechanical construction. How can you think they had a civilization?

Also note that if they were civilized, there would be wars.

I haven't heard of any fossils turning up with bullet wounds in the bone structure (inevitable even if they didn't have wars).

 Or any other type of wound caused by anything other then teeth and natural disasters.

Now what I HAVE heard is that there is a Sphinx on Mars.

 What if humans had originally started on Mars, and escaped whatever disaster occured there to settle on Earth but technology failed in transit and we ended up starting all over again on Earth? Mars has alot of rust on it after all.

How did similar technology spring up world wide at almost the same time? Back before people knew a North America/South America existed?

I was going by the records, give or take a thousand. We have record of Egyptians being around in about 4,000 B.C. Then again, the time of actual civilization can be disputed forever, but who actually knows?

In the Oeral in Russia, tiny peaces of nano tech were found in a gletcher. Estemated to be thousands of years old.

Source?

Oh, and as for the little planes. Building a toy glider is a far cry from building an actual plane. It's definitely a sign of great insight, but not even close to evidence of some long lost civilization.

You could be right. But notice how everything fits a modern airplane? Now maybe the egyptians didnt invent it, maybe the technology was passed to them through generations, originating from an ancient civilisation.
Can you say it couldnt be the truth?

Why would the Egyptians pass down such poignant knowledge as air travel without implementing it?

Yes, I can say it couldn't be the truth. Look at all of the material that goes into making just one modern airplane, and look at all of the technology required to make that material and put it together, as well as the knowledge and training to fly planes. You're suggesting that all of that existed, and we haven't found ANY evidence of it, except for a little toy.

Not to mention that they could have found dozens of toy gliders over the years, but the only one that would capture normal people's imagination would be one that coincidentally looked like something modern.

If our civilization is destroyed, and a new one starts and grows and evolves and develops to the point of creating more advanced space travel, and their shuttles look like classic UFOs, and if one day they stumbled upon a toy UFO from our time, they wouldn't think we were as advanced as them. They'd just think it was nothing more than a toy.

so why try and prove it

Or theyll prolly be smart and realize (if our toy looks very much like their UFO) that we were very advanced.
And yes it is possible that they had heavy industry and pilots. Thats just logical if they had planes innit?
I'm just saying it could be true, untill you build a time machine and go back, you cant prove it wrong. (Just like i cant prove it right)

If ancient civilizations had airplanes, why was the geography of their society so obviously restricted to what's accessible by land?  Why didn't they conquer or colonize peoples on other continents?  Where are their runways?  Why didn't they expand rapidly over unnavigable terrain?  Why did they have ethnocentric notions of the shape of the land around them?  Why didn't they have other technology that would be on the logical route from chariots to airplanes, such as steam engines and firearms?  What did they use for fuel?  Where are the tools that they used to build the airplanes?  Where are the pieces of broken-down airplanes?  How come none of these things survived, but little stone or copper replicas did?

Maybe they took off in to space? And on purpose cleaned everything up before they left. And they seeded earth on purpose.  :P

Ah, I see.  I didn't realize you meant for this thread to be the cooperative creation of a fairy tale, rather than a serious discuss of archaeology.  I guess my work here is done!
