Is there any reference in the bible, to a prior civilization?

Agreed with todaly & Atlantes & Eden have oth been discovered, Atlantes has been fpund to be older, crazy aye

The Bible talks about Cain travelling to the land of Nod after killing Abel. This suggests Nod pre-existed, from a Biblical perspective.

Silverwings, are you aware that ancient Jews understood Genesis to be an allegorical myth? This isn’t a guess, we have ancient texts that explicitly tell us this. Young earth creationism is not a Biblical concept, when you understand the stories in the context they were written.

I don’t know… but a lot of people don’t know.. NO ONE KNOWS! except god! so all these questions your asking, you never can be sure that they are true awnsers!

Asking for reference to it in the bible is odd, given that that’s the very text cited to justify a 6000 year age for earth.

I’m also not sure what the point of references in other ancient texts is. What significance does what people thought hundreds or thousands of years ago have on how old the earth really is? We can tell from geological and astronomical evidence roughly how old the earth is - we don’t have to rely on what ancient peoples thought was the case.

Sorry, I posted in the wrong category, maybe someone can move this question to Religion & Spirituality, where it was intended to go. Thanks.

Someone attended Sunday School class yesterday!
