9.7 Million-year-old ‘teeth’ Discovered in Germany

[gordi]

Many ancient civilisations believed that the world had already been through several "cycles" or "Previous times" before their own one. Where humans rose to a technologically advanced stage before falling again, either through natural disaster or self-destructive behaviours.

If you imagine todays "advanced" civilisation, and what it would be like in the aftermath of a Nuclear War or Huge Meteor Strike...
Let's say 99% of the people die.
The dust cloud from the disaster blocks out the sun.
Ice Age returns.
The few remaining humans band together in small tribal groups to survive.
It's not safe to be around other people.
Only the strongest will survive.
So they hide in caves or wherever they can.
The technology is gone.
The power is off.
Batteries quickly run out and most of the gadgets are useless anyway without the internet infrastructure etc.
After a few years, the weapons will run out of bullets and become un-serviceable without parts...
People go back to a "stone age" existence and we start again...
The stories about previous times are handed down, but after a few generations they gradually fall into myth and legend and eventually are largely forgotten.
The dust finally settles on a barren landscape and the few remaining people live to see the sun return.
Nature finds a way.
Plant life starts to grow again and so the cycle spins again.

Now, what if these teeth are artifacts, not of ancient man from our time, but of man from a previous time?
Before our current cycle.

The current understanding of our timeline (out of Africa etc) could still be true. BUT these "anomalous" findings could be a window into our distant past AND a warning for the future?
