In these types of discussions, when people have to rely on the "establishment faked this after the fact" line it's basically a white flag situation.

I go down the rabbit hole and I enjoy the thought experiments and sometimes I get a little swept away, but my feelings are that cities popped up that we don't know about and maybe don't fit the timelines perfectly, but no civilization's have.

Cities are not going to produce the sort of information or culture that has any sort of historical significance and they're likely not going to have structures that survive.

I'm also speaking mostly in the Middle East and Central, where society that we know and basically formed around the fertile crescent and Mediterranean. I think there's a lot of history lost to time in other places that never developed a long-term succession of civilizations, like the Americas, Africa, and Asia. I think there's a lot we need to learn in these areas but I don't think it really resets the story of human development
