Ha ha, true true
but we do still seem to generally have this silly idea that mans advancement into the modern era of technical wonders was a slow and steady rise, from living like animals thru to stone tools, metals, mechanics, electronics, but anything older than a few thousand years and often pretty much nothing continues to exist for us to see or measure in any form, it's just gone, and yet if you took any child from back then and raised it as one of us it would almost certainly be capable of understanding and coping with our modern world quite normally, so there's every possibility we've been here before, not to this present global scale, but when scientists say stuff like 'Clocks were invented on this exact date by this man and computers on this exact date by this bloke here!' it does seem a bit, well, over simplified, like we're rewriting history to suit us.

So you're saying it's likely that...
The Atlantians were a highly advanced civilisation, who potentially had advanced technology and an active space programme. But a war began. A war between the Atlantians and a less civilised race of humans, almost neandathals, who possessed none of their tech and were jealous. The war raged for hundreds of years and it seemed like no end was in sight. So the Atlantians, in their infinite wisdom, built spacecrafts capable of interstellar flight and fled the Earth to colonise a better world, but not before destroying all traces of their knowledge and technology by sinking their fair city into the ocean, so the jealous neanderthal race could not use their technology to advance themselves quick enough to follow them?
