Oh. Really.
So, what’s this hypothesis and what evidence can you offer in support of it?
Or would that be too much like honestly answering the question?
If your hypothesis is so lacking in content that you can not so much as state it—and you have no evidence to offer in support of it—then what possible claim can it have on our attention?
Remember this?
It’s simply not clear that an anonymous civilisation with no determinate characteristics can serve as an explanation of anything.
Please refrain from boring me with a facile verbal evasion like the one above: substitute “builders” for “civilisation” and the point remains essentially unchanged.
A reminder (yet again) of the evidence which is lacking and the questions which remain unanswered on the “other” builders posited:
No inscriptions, no depictions, no tools, no settlements, no infrastructure, no burials: none of the impedimenta of everyday life and death.
What was their language? What was their script? What were their units of measurement? Were they white, brown or purple? What did they wear? What did they eat? What materials did they use? What sources of power? What means of transport?
