A global "civilization" is certainly a possibility - we have to look no further than this thread to confirm for ourselves that they are trying to build another one as we speak. If it can be done now, it could be done then - there is nothing new under the sun.
With that said, any such attempts are and always will be doomed to fail, ultimately, because - humans. Humans are incredibly diverse in a number of areas from hard wiring in our bodies to the ephemeral attitudes in our heads. Every discrete geographical area has it's own history and culture, and those in combination with the hard-wiring in our individual genetic codes meld together to create unique local societies... and a fair number of those societies want to kill off all the rest. We, as humans, will NEVER be able to get along on a global scale. That notion is nothing more than a pipe dream of deluded sycophants. From the UN to the WEF to the "New World Order" to even this potential ancient global society, they always have and always will ultimately fail, because people just can't get along together for very long, and no global overseers will ever be able to make them get along.
Folks just don't like being ruled from afar by alien overlords.
With that said, the notion that trans oceanic travel in ancient times was impossible is laughable. Polynesians somehow managed it to populate the islands of Polynesia. Thor Hyerdahl made a name for himself out of proving it could be done... and more recently, within the past few weeks, 6 men paddled a mere canoe across the Atlantic.
So, yeah, it's possible... but will always ultimately collapse.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
