flood.

In any case the History Channel is grossly misrepresenting what these structures are. They aren't a "huge civilisation". They are a series of 20 circles cut into the rock. They weren't made using "advanced tools", they were made using flint tools (the evidence for which has been found at the site). They're old, they're the oldest structures of their kind thus far discovered, and their location is unsurprising, right in the fertile crescent in what is now the Middle East.

The History Channel baffles me. What is undoubtedly a fascinating find, and a great discovery is not considered to be sexy enough, so they have to invent things around it.

Oh and there's always some clown who says "BUT ALIENS!"

so aliens made it before the flood?

It is an important find, as it gives an indication that neolithic culture and society was more sophisticated than hitherto thought, but it doesn't point to a massive complex civilisation.

What knowledge was lost when "the white man" (sic) conquered the Americas?

All of the knowledge of the natives...their history and way of life destroyed in order to be replaced by the grace of god and a civilized culture

I think you'll find that First Nations and other native communities would question your assertion that knowledge of their history and way of life were destroyed.

I assumed you were talking about objective knowledge and not tradition and culture by the way you compared it to the library of Alexandria.
