Subhanallah reminds me how Allah سُبْحَانَهُۥ وَتَعَالَىٰ tells us people existed before us more advanced but they were destroyed due to them rejecting his signs brought by the Prophets...

"Do they not contemplate within themselves? Allāh has not created the heavens and the earth and what is between them except in truth and for a specified term. And indeed, many of the people, in the meeting with their Lord, are disbelievers.

Have they not traveled through the earth and observed how was the end of those before them? They were greater than them in power, and they plowed [or excavated] the earth and built it up more than they [i.e., the Makkans] have built it up, and their messengers came to them with clear evidences. And Allāh would not ever have wronged them, but they were wronging themselves."

Quran 30:8-9
