Christ wasn't a real person. You might as well try starting your calendar at the birth of Pinocchio.

You know that Pinocchio is clear allegory of Christ, right?

Didn't know that. Mind you, I wasn't very interested in biblical allegory when I was four.

There were some ruins found in Anatolia I believe that were dated around 14000 years ago. They believed it to be a meeting place for nomadic people. It's a fairly recent discovery I think. But it does show that people were doing things other than copulating with animals and worshipping grass.

Anything past like 20,000 years is fucking gone. Most likely there were stuff but no way to know. Water levels and tectonic shifts probably changed or covered places that early humans actually lived.

Actually the answer to your OP is quite simple. Civilisations arose because the invention of agriculture allowed people to produce a surplus. Before that everyone was too busy surviving to invent wheels and transistors and the internet and stuff.

Theres some good stuff in Joe Rogan's podcasts with Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson. It isn't totally about people, but what has happened in the past few hundred thousand years with climate change, geological change and how it has affected humans throughout history. they also go into what kinds of past human structures ancient civilizations built. It's interesting stuff.

This.

Agricultural surplus brah.

Look up gobekli tepe and also the erosion on the spinx places it at 12,000 + but egyptologists that have made their wntire careers off false premises wont allow these new discoveries credit

Lol, Graham Hancock? I think you might be on the wrong board. Try /conspiracy/ or /nutjob/.

>If that is truly the case, that means there has been a period of almost 200 thousand years where humans have been doing fuck all
What you qualify as doing something is probably just other meaningless bullshit. Why should someone care about civilization or recording what is happening right now?
