There are a growing numbers of discoveries and theories that have been coming to light in the past 30-40 years regarding findings of 'lost' towns and cities that are dated back to being much older then established timelines. Many of these are beyond the 10,000 BC/ years ago mark; each time giving our species greater room for the presence of possible lost civilizations actually existing.
With the exclusion of all the Von Daniken ancient astronaut 'bunk', all of this requires serious discussion on the "how's, why's and who's" of how these sites were made.
Actually, some have put forward that the pre-ponderance of the ancient astronaut theory has irreparably harmed the chances of any serious discussion on the topic. This is how the established academia likes it; they want to be able to only present that for which they already know the answer.
There is a lot of information out there on this subject worldwide. I am starting with this and will add more as I "dig it up".
As a sci fi fan, I find it doubly entertaining when shows/movies tie in their 'canons' with our myth and the possible existence of these ancient civilizations.
So for starters:

here is a site on Puma Punko in S America, this is a non-ancient alien site, it lays out the facts as known and elaborates on the "lego block like" style of the near identical blocks (these ppl had know writing system, mathmatics or any machinery or tools required for mass, nearly identical production that would have been necessary to meet the standards needed. Truly, they must of had some kind of system yet to be discovered:

but then here we see how criticism of Ancient Alien theory is used to "shut down" the conversation:
Again, I am not a believer of ancient alien theory, just using this to show how any talk of possibly real lost civilizations is "shouted down" but not explained.
