What if humanity isn't Earth's first civilization? For 4.5 billion years, our planet has buried its secrets beneath layers of stone and time. While we celebrate 10,000 years of human history, entire continents have risen and fallen. Oceans have swallowed landscapes. Mountains have crumbled to dust. The evidence is all around us—Chernobyl's forests reclaiming concrete, Angkor Wat disappearing into jungle, ancient cities lost beneath the waves. If our greatest monuments can vanish in mere centuries, what happened to civilizations that might have thrived millions of years ago? Deep in ice cores and ocean sediments, scientists are finding chemical signatures that don't match any known natural process. Isotope anomalies that whisper of industry. Mass extinctions that speak of ecological collapse. The geological record holds clues to a question that will change everything we thought we knew about intelligence on Earth. Ancient myths from every culture tell the same story—cycles of creation and destruction, golden ages that rise and fall, civilizations of gods that came before. What if these aren't myths at all, but memories encoded in humanity's deepest cultural DNA? Journey with us through deep time as we explore the Silurian Hypothesis, dive into abyssal plains where secrets sleep in eternal darkness, and confront the terrifying mirror of our own future disappearance. Because understanding how we will vanish might be the key to understanding who vanished before us. The rocks remember nothing. The rocks remember everything.
