without those written records it would mean so very little.
The Inca didn't have written anything yet they were amazing architects and seemed really advanced. That's like saying an animal has no purpose because it doesn't have a social security number.

I have always said and thought that if there were advanced cultures during the last Ice age (or the one before) then whatever they would have built would have been ground to dust by glaciation or sunk due to rising sea levels.
Remember the South American Indians which communicated with string and knots.. It was more an accounting system but it worked.. We think of writing as ..."writing".... but that is not always the case as I am sure you are well aware of.. S^F for getting the thought process to working here at 4 am

Spanish during the conquest of the New world and their Gold fever may have inadvertently melted down possible ancient relics [Which were made of Gold] not knowing what they were destroying were valuable ancient artifacts.
Actually, during the Eemian interglacial, sea levels were 20-40 ft higher than they currently are with temperatures about 4-8 degrees warmer than the average temps for the last 1000 years based on ice core samples from Greenland and Antarctica so any civilization or cultures thriving at that point would be on dry land with coast lines rather different than they are currently.
