there used to be water pipes at around 400-500BC in ancient Greece too. Anyways, there's much we havent learned yet, and with the burning of the great library of Alexandria (by the Christians) alot ancient knowledge was lost. I'm pretty sure we'd be more advanced in matter technology and philosophy/ethics without that setback.
i didnt mean that. i ment with the technology we have today couldnt we somehow see if something like that happened? (I dont know i'm just speculating).
I knew that there was great technology in the ancient times (some ancient greek temple gates opened with hydraulics - we still dont know how the Pyramids were built etc). Nuclear war sounds bit too much but who knows?
couldnt it refer to a volcanic activity in the area during that time? Some volcano explosions have about the same effects (except the radiation). Besides, wouldnt it be possible to trace any radiation?
