Have you looked up Globeckly Tepi or whatever it is? That's supposed to pre-date most civs by about 5,000 years or something. Wild shit.
At this point in time the Sumerians are still regarded as the first civilisation while there is quite strong evidence like Gobekli Tepe which dates back to 11,500 years ago, but the accepted theory for now is that is was build by hunter gatherers. That’s kinda one of the crucial parts in that whole discussion.
In my humble opinion, it wouldn’t surprise me if history books will get rewritten in the coming decades, possibly even accepting a pre-last ice age civilisation. If you think about it it’s quite strange anyway that Homo sapiens have been around for 300k years and we’ve only started building civilisation about 6000 years ago, and then out of the blue we created insanely precise structures.
