Molecular evidence suggests that the last common ancestor between humans and the remaining great apes diverged 4–8 million years ago.
-Older fossils are harder to find because they are usually buried at a considerable depth in the rock.
-Dating older fossils is more difficult.
-Productive fossil beds are researched more than unproductive ones, therefore leaving certain periods unresearched.
-Prehistoric environmental disturbances can disturb the deposition process.
-The preservation of fossils varies on land, but marine fossils tend to be better preserved than their sought after land-based counterparts. (en.wikipedia.org...)

Archaeologists have said in the past that the earth has been advanced and destroyed at least seven times. And each time we get knocked back into the stone age. I don't care if it's a natural destruction or the hand of God, I still hate the idea.

Interesting. Possible but improbable. Well, at least it bears thinking about then.
As a sidenote to this discussion, does anyone think that the stories of the "gods" in our history are factual accounts of extraordinary events? Or do we as Humans share a vast store of archetypes within our psychology that enabled us to create, as a means of explaining our world, virtually the exact same figures as "gods" throughout history?

Hey, thanks! I love the spiritual science series!
Hmm, so some consider the possibility that a dimensional shift has taken place before? That might account for the lack of physical traces. Fascinating possibility.

Anywho, if 3 different hominid species can coexist at the one time.

Look at the Neanderthal and Denisovans, they were'nt our ancestors. They were a totally
different beast coexisting with our own lineage. Neanderthal and Denisovans had stone tools,
language, funerary rights and probably much more as our ancestors mated with them
eewww Most of us modern humans have Neanderthal or Denisovan dna.

Then I think that a prehistorical advanced race is also likely to have existed.
I dont think they would have been as advanced as we are now or we would be
finding plastic artifacts, but maybe at a medieval type of level with different/lost tech.
