Maybe not. Our radar scanning gets better all the time, including underwater and subsurface, high-definition stuff. Couple that with artificial intelligence scanners designed to pick out "anomalies" from expected noise, and it might only be 100 years or so before we get some very detailed scans of places that would take us forever to dig to, with any interesting possible artifacts clearly pointed out.
Atlantis? I still hold a tiny tiny chance that the Atlantis that Plato discussed might have existed (in a form not as Plato described) the chance of us finding that grows smaller each day as we understand the planet better. Those damn ice and sediment cores make strong arguments against

You may wish to to start a thread on your subject, you've brought it up before in other threads. Now I was born in a non-English speaking country myself but I do find it hard to understand your points and you tend not to provide links and sources.
Again I recommend you start your own thread on your Atlantis in Roumania idea.
But even if such a fate did befall any sociecty it would still leave behind un-mistakeable traces for millions of years, the glass fields, radiation, and the twisted wreckage of a thousand cities. Given enough time though nature will erase even those things we deem indestructable. A few cycles of glaciation willbury or grind up and wash into the sea most anything we can construct.
What I am saying, it is still around, yet we have pushed it into the subconscious. And there may be other instances of this kind.
Assuming around 10,000 years ago we had our last major catastrophic geological disaster, then you see that it took us until the past 150 years to reach any level of scientific and industrial achievement.
For example, if the next catastrophic geological event had happened two hundred years ago, those who would come alone 8,000 years later would see what we see today around the world in certain areas.
Advanced stone work. There would be no skyscrapers, no 10-key adding machines, no computers, no massive steel bridges, nor any other large technological advancement reminder of any kind. No satellites.
