The Earth
Here is what human scientists know about our origins today: Humans evolved to our approximate current physical state over 200,000 years ago. That means if a child born 200,000 years ago were taken through time to the modern day, it could grow up to be indistinguishable from any modern human being. It would be smart enough to read, write, and even attend our finest universities.
Yet, the beginnings of our known civilization did not start till 10,000 years ago. That means 10,000 years ago mankind fist created language, agriculture, and domestication of animals, beginning the rapid progression that leads us to sky scrapers, space shuttles, genetic engineering, and global communication systems.
That means there was over 190,000 years of physically modern humans with a lifestyle only slightly above that of animals. No greater technology than the stone-tipped spears and cave paintings that first began millions of years ago before they were "fully" human.
Yet, that time span is twenty times longer than it took for us to go from caves to space ships. Hundreds if not thousands of civilizations could rise and fall in that huge expanse of time, and our modern archaeologists would have no clue they ever existed.
Also, in our modern time, levels of technological advancement vary in different places on the globe. There are people who live their lives not unlike those ancient tribesmen did. Others who live in quaint villages that would feel familiar to someone from the Middle Ages, or farms like the turn of the century. And still others who have access to technological advances that are not available where you or I live.
So, couldn't there have been an individual, 200,000 years ago, who was the Da Vinci, Tesla or Elon Musk of his day? It would have only taken a single person to look at the world around him differently to spark a technological revolution. That one person, and a small village of curious helpers, could have easily taken his tribe from hunter-gatherers to a settlement of farmers and herdsmen in a single lifetime. Then, his successors could have brought their civilization to the level of the Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans in just a few hundred years; and beyond the level of technology we have today in just a few hundred more.
It would be easy for our modern archeologists to completely miss this civilization- the further back in time, the fewer artifacts survive. Plus, research is difficult in nations with a great deal of political strife, and those nations just happen to be where most of the known ancient civilizations began.
As it turns out, all of this did happen. The evidence for it would be impossible to find, since this civilization was on Atlantis.
Over 200,000 years ago the Angels and Demons found the people of Earth desirable, and mated with them- yielding Nephilim and Cambions, who lived openly with the native population of humans. The Nephilim and Cambion traits allowed civilization to advance rapidly, till they could even achieve interplanetary travel.
There were many socio-political tensions between the three groups, and constant warfare. That warfare threatened the geological stability of the continent, causing it to collapse into the ocean.
When Atlantis fell and they escaped to Venus, Mars and Phaeton, according to their species- Only Cambions escaped to Phaeton, only Nephilim escaped to Mars, and only pure Humans went to Venus. They felt that living separately would bring peace. It did not. Conflict between people on one continent became interplanetary warfare.
After the wars destroyed Mars and Phaeton, they once again escaped back to Earth, and lived on various continents, and eventually went to underground cities. some escaped to Fairyland at this point as well, and evolved into the Sidhe and the Fomorians. They learned the lesson that living separately did not create peace. It just elevated tensions. The only peaceful solution was living together, and learning how to coexist.
