* Neolithic and Copper Age Europe are revealing more and more sophisticated villages and towns, some even featuring walled fortifications and temples. Maidanetske is especially noteworthy as having a total of 1575 buildings, including dwellings, fortifications, sanctuaries, and some two-storied houses. Oh and it was inhabited around 3700-3600 BC some 2000 kilometers northward from the Fertile Crescent. Many archaeologists and historians now believe that it is only a matter of time before we find a civilization as old and sophisticated as the Egyptians or Sumerians and as far away from the places they inhabited as they are away from us time-wise.

* ''VideoGame/AVeryLongRopeToTheTopOfTheSky'': Genevieve's history lesson on Ancient Man talks about what little is known of the past, and especially how there was an advanced civilization there:
--> What we do know is that a civilization predated our current one. Their technology is incredibly advanced and has had a major impact on our society.

* The Everlasting Dynasty from ''Literature/EmperorMolluskVersusTheSinisterBrain'' is the oldest living civilization on Earth, having once ruled most of the planet because of their technological superiority, only for time to cause the empire to collapse (as all civilizations do eventually), what remains being a small nation near Egypt. At the end of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, the fledgling Axis Powers tried invading them for their technological resources, only for their armies to be curb-stomped by the Dynasty's super-weapons.
