Ha, definitely a long shot. I was watching a Joe Rogan podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDejwCGdUV8. In summary, there's evidence for a cataclysmic asteroid strike 12K years ago that nearly wiped out humanity. If true that upends traditional archaeological theories and suggests that humanity rebooted 12K years ago instead of a gradual move from hunter-gatherer to society. What the world was like before the reboot is unknown, but maybe we were advanced enough for space travel?
