We have...

We have skulls and fossil record evidence now where it's just slightly more than 300,000 years.

Genetic and studies into teeth morphology make the possibility open to, whatever, 700,000, 800,000 years there was a skull found.

Yeah, I mean, I think that's more of a Homo sapien clade skull, so it may not be Homo sapien exactly us.

It might be a variety, but that's a whole other aspect on this too is...

is that we're the last humans left, right?

There were other types of humans that we know lived for, in some cases, a couple million years that had even bigger brain sizes than we did.

We don't really know what their capabilities were.

We only can work with ourselves.

And then you combine that lengthening of time of like, okay, you have an intelligent social species that –

has the ability to build on knowledge of your ancestors.

So one guy spends his life making the spear, the next guy spends his life perfecting how to throw it.

We have this unique ability to stand on this knowledge that's passed down from our direct ancestors and therefore build up our capability and inevitably leads towards civilization.

And if you stress that way back in time and now you look at things like the climate history,

and the history of cataclysm on this planet, this possibility that these civilizations may have arisen and then been completely destroyed at some point over the last several hundred thousand years, you can't just dismiss that.

There's a strong possibility that it's possible.

And in fact, there seems to be a lot of other contextual evidence to support it in origin tales, in stories, in the echoes of sacred geometry and advanced mathematics and knowledge of the cosmos and also planetary dimensions and geodetic data, all this stuff that's encoded into these stories.

into these monuments and into these stories and tales that we can't explain how these so-called primitive civilizations like the Egyptians or the Sumerians knew this information, yet it's there and it's encoded in their monuments and in their data.

But we can't explain, even the Greeks, you can't explain the precision of some of the aspects of things like the pyramids.

Yeah, I mean, you just, and again, with the cataclysms that we know have happened, the Younger Dryas just being the most recent, but if you go back several hundred thousand years, you have these massive, you know, interglacial periods and glacial maximum periods, right, that these cycles that we go through, where you have this big glaciation buildup, and then you have just, you know, these what must have been catastrophic floods, and then interglacial periods.
