Was There a Civilization On Earth Before Humans? (The Atlantic magazine)

14. Genesis 6:4

"In those days were the giants on the earth, and also afterwards, when the sons of God had come in to the daughters of men, and they had borne children to them; these were the heroes, who of old were men of renown."

"The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when God's sons came in to men's daughters. They bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown."

Taken from the previous description of beginnings on earth from the clay tablets called 'Enuma Elish'
written by scribes in cuneiform. Scribes had to be taught the story by some source, and had to have been
given writing instructions to chronicle events.

Or we could look into Gilgamesh's genealogical relation to 'the gods/Nephilim' who were here before The Flood, co-mingling with 'the daughters'.

Or is all the recorded ancient history just too much flat earth woo? I think not.

Star maps showing planets not visible to the naked eye, earth's wobble on it's axis, delineating the globe, advanced mathematics, the wheel and plow, music written for and played on exotic instruments, the recipe for bronze (which is a many step process from mining to smelter) all point to an advanced civilization pre-Flood.
