You bring up another point that has been bandied about.
If a particular civilization is old enough, sea levels would have been drastically different. Most civilizations develop around water, for food, transportation, etc. Rising sea levels would not only submerge any traces but probably destroy any traces due to erosion or buried under sediments.
Climate changes that have resulted in huge deserts could also play a factor, burying any trace that might have existed.
Great Post Zlots, your thinking right up my alley!
This is something that gets overlooked, especially by the archeology which refuses to think outside of the box. Lets look at the climate and sea level changes for example, during the last ice age which ended 12,000 years ago (meaning B.C. 10,000) surprising you find this the limit most of the main stream scientific community will admit to some kind of Human Civilization.
Imagine a world of highly advance civilizations enjoying and living along the shores lines near between the tropics. Is it any wonder that there appears to be advance civilizations where you would expect them? The ones that were not drowned by flooding where located in Peru, Mexico, Eygpt, India and China. I have posted two images, one has the extent of the ice sheets along with submerged lands, notice the land bridge between Europe and Africa. The second image depicts the vegetation during the last ice age.


Imagine its starts raining 10,000 years ago and doesn't stop! The ice sheets melt within years and flood the great civilizations! The world is devastated and reeling from the this hugh event. People that aren't killed by flooding, die from starvation and disease. Sea would have had to risen almost 400 feet in some cases!
Sea Level Rise
This would explain the flood story of many ancient societies and the lose or lack of evidence of highly developed societies, other than a glimmer here and an artifact there that seems out of place of the darwain like theories that has man advancing continuously!
IMHO - Man's advancement has been in cycles, like all of natures!
