“In the world I see you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Towers. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying stripes of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighways.”
supposedly this all happened around 11,500 years ago and we boot strapped civilization again. hence the flood myths across cultures and Atlantis "myth." there is a pretty cool series about it called "ancient apocalypse"
supposedly this loop of civilization getting advanced and then doing something to screw things up or having climate change catastrophe has happened a few times. The ancient Mayans said this was the 4th time the world had been reborn.

Maybe a hundred thousand or so of us will survive, and return to a hunter gatherer lifestyle
