Well first we'd have to figure out which species would be capable of such a civilization as millions of years ago is outside the range of homo sapiens.

Abstract

If an industrial civilization had existed on Earth many millions of years prior to our own era, what traces would it have left and would they be detectable today? We summarize the likely geological fingerprint of the Anthropocene, and demonstrate that while clear, it will not differ greatly in many respects from other known events in the geological record. We then propose tests that could plausibly distinguish an industrial cause from an otherwise naturally occurring climate event.

The moon was probably once a part of earth.

Whatever the fuck dislodged it from us liquified both moon and earth enough that they both returned to spherical form under gravity.

Nothing we made would survive something like that. It would all end up smelted in the core.

But seriously, I agree that we don't know shit about fuck and I think there's enough room in Earth's history for another civilization or ten.

If you look at the history of science we tend to assume whatever we have to to make ourselves unique, but as our knowledge has expanded our uniqueness has suffered.  We started with my tribe is the only "real" people, then people with my skin color are the only sentient ones, then only humans have intelligence everything else is a survival robot, only humans and primates have intelligence, only humans primates dolphins and some birds have intelligence, there's probably alien life too, there's probably alien intelligence, there's probably superior alien intelligence...  My town is the center of the universe (which is a dome about a 1,000 miles wide), my continent is the center of the universe, Earth is the center of the universe, Earth is the center of the solar system, the solar system is the center of the universe, the sun is God, the sun is unique, the sun is unremarkable among trillions of stars, the solar system is on the ass end of a backwater galaxy which is unremarkable among 100 billion galaxies, this is the only universe, there might be other universes, there may be infinite universes. See also the evolution of our conception of neanderthals from grunting ape-men to an intelligent people with tools, art, and religion.  Each step has been slow and painful because it diminishes our sense of exceptionalism.

Is it likely that we've just now become totally objective?  We should assume that we're still unconsciously ignoring evidence to make ourselves seem more important.

Quoted:



The Moon was (almost certainly) formed long before ANY life came to exist on Earth, simply because the planets would have been continuously bombarded by fairly large asteroids long after their orbits were swept clean of anything as large as the body that caused the Moon to form.  Also, you don't need to liquify a body the size of the Moon or the Earth for it to reach spherical shape - its own mass will ensure that the stresses generated by gravity will overcome the strength of the material making up the body and force it into a spherical shape.  There will be surface imperfections of course, but the overall shape will be spherical.  For a rocky body, this occurs once you exceed around 600 km in diameter.

If it was sitting on the ocean floor, probably very difficult. They're doing great things with satellite imagery to find traces of old civilizations on the continents, but if its below the water that's going to make the process  of identifying the location difficult.

You are assuming that our current methods are the only methods. Perhaps they, if there actually was a "they", went in a completely different direction. Maybe they mastered alchemy or turned kudzu into cloth or food without producing the same type of waste products associated with modern industry.

Most likely if a mine used for tombs.  There is a theory of a hidden room under the Sphinx containing ancient records and that Egyptian antiquity authorities will not allow work around.  The former director was an attention whore and putz, hawass.

Supposedly, the Sphinx is far older per geological info such as when the Sahara was a wet climate.
