If you really want to mess with your head, let me recommend that you get high and read The New Order of Man's History. It offers very convincing and well documented evidence that we reached at least our current level of technology 50,000+ years ago and were then knocked back into pre-history by a major asteroid strike just over 10,000 years ago.
To simplify, 150,000 years ago when homo sapiens sapiens is first recognized, they were stronger and smarter than we are now (according to fossil record). Neanderthal man was close to the same, but his cultural/social evolution was stale… Let's look at a quick timeline:
- 50,000 years ago – Man settles Australia.
- 40,000-10,500 years ago – Man settles Europe and wipes out his competition, the Neanderthal.
- 20,000-10,500 years ago – First South America and then North America is settled via a seafaring civilization. (The land bridge theory is false for a zillion reasons including population movement patterns and artifacts, a lack of blood match, not to mention the fact that the “land bridge” would have been covered in five thousand miles of impenetrable ice).
- 10,500 years ago – A 6.5km asteroid strikes the earth (geologically confirmed), ending the ice age and covering the earth in tsunamis, volcanoes, earth quakes, flaming gasses and fire, as well as damaging the ionosphere and ozone layer. Over half of the earth's large species are wiped out.
- 10,500-6,500 years ago – The earth's temperature rises dramatically and the oceans rise four hundred feed, moving the coastlines 250 miles inland, submerging all traces of any human cities beneath the oceans.
- 5,000 years ago – Civilizations arise again. All subsequent civilizations tell of a great civilization destroyed by a flood.
Anyway, if that got you interested, get the book, it covers a lot more and documents it thoroughly. I found it far more readable (in a “can you take it seriously” sort of way) than most of the books that delve into alternate Egyptology, lost civilizations, and Atlantis.
PS. Along that line, there's life on Mars (ignore the cosmiverse URL ).
