How about we extend the start year to c 50-million BC and add the theorized, but not yet proven/disproven Paleocene Civilization(s)?

"Not yet disproven" is a generous way of putting it, because you can say that about a lot of things.

Rex Omnium Imperarium
For instance, the Dutch used to inhabit the Mariana Trench where they would end up building rockets and establish an intergalactic empire. But then the Chicxulub asteroid impacted, and only a few Dutch people managed to survive. They crawled onto land, and thus gave birth to humanity as we know it.
So lets be real, the PETM was obviously created by a surviving dinosaur civilization trying to restore the climate after there attempt at asteroid towing failed...

I just used the terms the article does.Don't think 50 million y.a. is the Paleocene actually.
Exactly! As it stands it's a theory that serves less as an explanation and more of a "did you know our modern tools are not suitable for detecting 100-million year old civilizations?
Dont forget the Giza mass autism array and the fall of the Emu empire

Its based off a graph that claims that the "Christian dark ages" stymied all advancement. The y axis is usually labeled something like 'Scientific advancement'.

A finno-Urgic civ like the celts would actually be very intresting. Make the viking and russian early game much more intresting.
