How are we using "advanced" here?
Advance compared to nomad hunter gathers. I don’t think anyone really believes ancient civilizations are advanced as we are today.

The Noah story shows that man at least believed it was possible back then to build a massive Navy vessel that man would not be capable of building for another 5,000 years.
Because Genesis doesn't describe anything I'd call "advanced" in terms of human existence.

Well Noah never built an actual ship, for starters. If any story in the Bible is an allegory, Noah is that.
And you do realize Genesis was written by people who had metal working, music, etc., right? Their conceptualization of society is seen in Genesis.
Humans used copper possibly up to 8000 BC. Then Bronze about 3500 BC. Areas of humanity were past hunger-gather stage as early as 12000 BC (and we may find more evidence of cities older than this).
Regardless, that's not "advanced".
