Is it possible a civilization lived before the dinosaurs or prehistory?

[Hank Hell]

Humans have not been around for a long time, the earth has been here much longer. What if a civilization like ours lived a long time before even the dinosaurs? It's possible.

Unless they disintegrated their dead, then no it's not possible.

The fossil record goes back 3 1/2 billion years or so.

What do they teach you kids in school these days?

If intilegent life existed before the dinosaurs there should have been some evidence left.

Considering that there is yet to be confurmed evidence of intelegent life before the dinosaurs its no,

[Dïngus]

confurmed evidence of intelegent life

Case closed.

Before any of us the civilization wasn’t like us it was before we could see now

Sunken civilizations surely existed. Like Lemuria.

There were advanced civilizations at the level of ancient greeks or romans before the last iceage for sure but before or same time as dinosaurs not a chance, you dint even have mammals bigger then rat not to mention humans.

Dinosaurs were actually super-intelligent and left this planet eons ago with their spaceships.

They left their dead behind to ♥♥♥♥ with modern scientists.

the developers have us in pre-release beta mode

What if Reapers harvested the dinosaurs and the fossils we found are just the remnants that they killed or didn't take?

I'd love to think that..... Maybe the raptors did evolve

Don't believe the hype. Raptors were about the size of a turkey or an oversized chicken, and recent findings point to them having feathers. They were basically birds, and probably not a whole lot smarter.

Velociraptors were about as large as a medium-large dog from what I've seen online

It's the Deinonychus Raptor that's 6-7 feet tall, which is what the Raptors in Jurassic Park were based on.

Also Velociraptors weren't fully covered in feathers, it was mainly their arms and legs.

My original post was a joke...

Raptors were pack hunters. It's quite likely that they had the same intelligence level as wolves, to coordinate their pack hunting. So probably smarter than birds.

Like I said, probably not a whole lot smarter than birds. I think you're underestimating birds and overestimating the sophistication needed for pack hunting. Current day wolves are probably smarter than raptors.

Depends on which birds, also. Modern day raptors (like peregrine falcons) are highly intelligent and are quite likely descended from prehistoric raptors (didn't Google, just guessed). Whereas some birds barely have the attention span of a gnat.

Civilizations like to build, a lot! And traces of such activities would endure both the passage of time and geological activity, so if some kind of super-ancient civilization once existed on Earth we would certainly find some evidence of it by now.

There is a show, on History I think, called Life After People which deals with what would happen to our tecnological achievements if we were to suddenly disappear. In one episode they talk about what would happen to a modern city after eons of neglect and exposure to the elements. To skip ahead towards end of the said episode they showed the same city hundreds of millions of years into the future. Smaller buildings survived, fossilized and retained their shape and were easily distinguishable from natural formations, after all that time. We are yet to discover something like that. I personally believe that despite the tremendous age of our planet, we ARE the very first intelligent species to walk its surface.

Some works of science fiction deal with this subject. Battlestar Galactica is set around 150k years in the past, although not really on Earth but eventually they got there. In HALO universe, humans were technologically super advanced species also 150k years ago, before they were defeated by Forerunners and subsequently relegated to the stone age. In Star Trek, species called Voth are encountered. Supposedly they are distant descendants of hadrosaurs that survived mass extinction and evolved to the point where they achieved spaceflight and left Earth.
