Is it possible that advanced civilization existed on Earth before “recorded” history? Is it possible that religion only tells one side of the story? According to two notable gentlemen such as Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate (circa A.D. 331–363) and Calvinist theologian Isaac de La Peyrère (1596-1676) Pre-Adamite beings did exist in the distant past on our planet.

But mayo other historians and mainstream researchers suggest there was a race of people inhabiting Earth before Adam and Eve lived on our planet.
The Pre-Adamite hypothesis or Pre-adamism is the belief that humans existed before the biblical character Adam. This assumption is contrary to beliefs which describe Adam as the first human, as stated in the Bible and the Qur'an. Pre-adamism is therefore distinct from the conventional Abrahamic belief that Adam was the first human.
Pre-Adamites were also an integral part of the now-discredited gap theory. In this the pre-Adamites were soulless beings which all perished in a catastrophe called ‘Lucifer’s Flood’, which allegedly occurred between verses 1 and 2 of Genesis 1 “in the far-distant dateless past”
Could there have been human creatures, commonly called ‘pre-Adamites’, living on Earth before God created Adam?
