Well Michael, "science" has determined that anything very technological would have disappeared if it was over 5000 year old. Put that in your chillum and smoke it. :-D So how come we have plenty of evidence that Bronze age man built swords and simple homes and pottery but not that he had uranium processing centrifuges? The most sophisticated things that have turned up from the dawn of man's history have been the batteries (powered by vinegar) that the Egyptians used to electroplate gold. Amazingly clever for the age but a good few steps away from splitting the atom. I guess then we are talking about a more ancient civilisation that disappeared without trace, but where were they? How come we have an unbroken archaeological history from hunter gatherers, painting caves and then the Iron age and beyond. To find such a civilisation would be fabulous but their remains would be huge, they would need to find ancient uranium mines just for starters. I think if they exist we would have had glimpses from somewhere. I live in hope for a major rewrite, the British Museum exhibition about it would be fabulous...

There weren't any. This was in the Bronze age, the high water mark of technology was poor quality swords and ploughs made from deer shoulder blades. You won't be splitting any atoms with that stuff. Jeez, they'd only just invented glazed pots when the Indus valley civilisation collapsed! Or so we think. I don't know why humanity thinks that current civilization is the most advanced that has ever existed on this planet. If so it is also the most narcissistic. :-D
