Can someone red pill me/give me a rundown on the whole 'old cities'/buildings theory? According to this theory, some of these buildigns are much older than we're led to believe, and that they predate our immediate ancestors, and it goes to claim that people moved into these cities without building these structures, and that some earlie people (whom disappeared?) happened to build these structures or something?

its not that the buildings are much older, but instead places like ancient rome are much newer/more recent than we're led to believe.
i don't know much about it and don't really care to look into it more, still an interesting idea even if not true.
the gist from what i can remember is that, the middle/dark ages were very short, and that what we call ancient rome happened during/led into the renaissance period
another part of it is saying that the roman empire expanded into the USA, which is why so many US buildings mimic the roman style of architecture.
really would just take this with a grain of salt like the 'flat mountain tops are actually tree stumps' theory.
basically, a lot of history is speculation and not necessarily 100% accurate. this sort of theory will take any gaps and try to connect the dots by taking advantage of that speculation.
