A city, surely. A town is urbus - hence urban.

Brian the pedant.

CIVIS....a citizen . I'm not sure the early Romans had anything we would call a city so I think "someone who lives in a town" is ok.

Actually, the latin for town is 'urbs'. There is no latin word specifically for 'city '.

It's more advanced than the hunter gatherer theory . Excuse my typos have been using the iPhone without my glasses ! Graham Hancocks Lost Civilisations on YouTube is excellent but a lengthy watch

Will see if I can find some shorter clips

Fine....I thought for a moment you were thinking 'advanced' in the technological sense....vast cities...vehicles...etc.

Sure...Gobekli Tepe seems to indicate something beyond hunter gatherer although the significance of the site is still not understood. And presumably there are yet to be discovered sites telating to the period 10,000 BCE - 5,000 BCE.

Well to be perfectly honest I do believe that we were more advanced than that.
And yes technologically advanced. Many of the old myths and legends allude to such things . Why accredit these stories to extr terrestrials rather than our own abilities that have beeni lost. Just like the proverbiial fall from paradise.

I suppose one could postulate that a race of advanced aliens might clean up comprehensively after their visit

Otherwise, in the absence of evidence we are, as you say, in the realm of myths and legends.

The other consideration is why would we think a civilization must have technology to be advanced or superior to how we are now? They may be more advanced in consciousness . Many physicists propose that there are multiple partake universes that interact with thus dimension . Perhaps 11 according to the string theory . Would it be more advanced to have to build machines to carry you places or to be able to manifest yourself through energetic transfer?

My Brother was saying just this evening that Michael Tellinger said that History is a funny thing. Up to a certain date, we say it is history. Anything before that we call myths. Yet to the people that told the myths, it was their history, and actually happened. Because it is so different to what the world is like now, they are considered untrue.

His website here speaks of Gold Mines that were mined on the tip of Africa for Gold, by an advanced civilisation, 200,000 years ago

Here he is talking at an Energy breakthrough conference . He talks about the pyramids as being resonance chambers about 14 minutes in. He talks of Ancient Civilisations using sound frequencies as energy with sites like the Pyramids and Stonehenge.

( Just watching it now)

History relies on the written record - "his story". Whether the oral record that preceded it is considered myth is a matter of some dispute.

As such, history goes back a maximum of about 5000 years as before this there are only a few signs rather than sentences.

IMHO of course.

Hey what ever happened to BulletMagnet I haven't heard from him in a while this would be a topic right up his alley?

There are oral stories in many cultures that are deemed by Eurocentric history as silly stories by primitive people. Or so it was in New Zealand. Yet many of the myths are starting to be revealed as having been based in truth and on scientific principles only just being covered. As they say in Game of thrones or kind of-we know nothing

Any examples?

I'm not being sceptical. After all you've not given us anything to be sceptical about.

Just woolly assertions along the lines of " There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy "

Of myths being based in truth . One Maori myth stated that when the chiefs died their souls ascended up to the star Puanga and they were reborn as stars . Puanga is the star Rigel in Orion's Belt . NASA have discovered that that us the place where new stars are born or a stellar nursery. The myths of giants on the earth. Interestingly that is also the direction the Egyptians were heading after death.

what about this one

Most archaeologists and historians agree that human civilization only emerged some 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. Yet many researchers have drawn attention to artifacts and various other evidence of advanced civilizations long before this, even millions of years earlier.
Among them is Dr. Alexander Koltypin, a geologist and director of the Natural Science Research Center at Moscow’s International Independent University of Ecology and Politology.
Koltypin has analyzed ancient underground structures across the Mediterranean and identified similarities that lead him to believe the sites were once connected. Furthermore, the weathering of the structures, their material composition, and the geological features and historic changes in the region, lead him to believe they were built by an advanced civilization hundreds of thousands or millions of years ago.
