Something worth pointing out about this:
 
The big deal with this isn't that stuff was being crafted pre recorded civilization. It's that the quality of the craftsmanship that suggests a level of technology we didn't previously think anybody on Earth had 40,000 years ago.

I don't think it's that surprising. People haven't changed much in 200,000 years, someone back then was capable of the same things we are now, the only difference is culture and knowledge. It's possible one dude was just ahead of his time, the Leonardo of his day.

I sincerely hope people have changed in 200,000 years and I don't only say that for Darwin's sake. In any case, technology has definitely changed in that time. Even Leonardo, who had lots of ideas and was definitely ahead of his time, didn't have the proper tools to turn them into reality at the time (and some of the knowledge required as well).

It's the technology used to create it that's out of place, though.

 

Imagine if we discovered that Leonardo created a working space ship. That'd be a pretty big deal because it's way ahead of the technology that time period should have been able to pull off, right?

 

It also suggests that they likely had other technology very advanced for their time and possibly even a rudimentary civilization that left no record behind.

To be fair, the only thing it has in common with the Denisovan (that I've been able to find) is the time period. Saying that they were the ones who crafted it seems to be an assumption.

I'm not sure it's really that out of place.  People were carving figures like this around that time.

But really, that is fascinating. Now it simply makes you wonder what this civilization was like.

4 possibilities:

 

1) The older Civilization is destroyed by nuclear weapons.

 

2) It was the Lizard Folk Civilization

 

3) Ancient Aliens

 

4) Combination of the above possibilities

[Gravisanimi]

Reading the article they don't believe it was sapiens, that it was another species in the -really?- H0mo genus that was believed to be there.

 

Only slightly more interesting, but, hey, a good deal of us are probably descendants of them now.

Just go all out and make a fifth possibility, Kaiser, that someone discovered time travel 6,000 years ago and left the bracelet there 34,000 years in the past.

Think about it.

It's a picture of a broken something of uncertain material, on a site whose reliabilty is not even a bit closer to Science or Nature.

Maybe they're the new world order shaping the evolution of all life on this planet and many others like it for the past million years?

Yeah, no. Carving is not some high tech endeavour. If you found some micro-processors that'd be a big deal. A lot of our early tech was easily within reach of human capability, it just required people to build up the knowledge to get to the stage where we are. All it took to get to the iron age was for someone to blow on a forge.

And is it really surprising that humanity has had several shots at civilisation? I don't think we got where we are now from one go. It's likely that pockets of humanity has at several times in our past made progress only to succumb to disaster, war or disease. Maybe some of their knowledge escaped to raise our knowledge base so the next ones to try had a better shot at it. But I seriously doubt it happened in one sitting.

Nah. I still don't know how to create a forge and therefore I still use stone weapons for hunting.

 

Iron and Specially Steel (weapons and armors) are high tech. Do not underestimate them.

And by proxy Illuminati confirmed.

What a shame. We could have been at this stage...

those people from 40,000 years ago must of been Heretics that why we are stuck here

That's the wrong 40K. Do Space Marines even wear bracelets?

So what scientists are saying is that the idiotic finale of BSG was right and human history began when a bunch of interstellar humans sacrificed and struggled to find a new home, abandoned their technology to start anew... and then all died horribly when their newfound luddite philosophy failed them, since Hera died young and clearly agriculture was not rediscovered for the next 40,000 years?

 

I'd say I owe Ronald D. Moore an apology... but I don't, because it's still dumb?
