Possible? Not impossible, but highly, highly improbable. There isn't just the question of where are the fossils, but there is a complete lack of remnants of any non-human civilization. If there were Sleestaks running around back in the day, you'd think that there would be some kind of Pylon crystal matrix left that we could find. But, despite Enik's best efforts, there is nothing. | What other evidence would be left after hundreds of millions of years? I read somewhere that the Pyramids and the Great Wall of China will disappear due to natural forces in 10,000-20,000 years if not maintained.
I've never seen Land of the Lost, but a "Pylon crystal matrix" sounds fairly complex and hard to miss....

And my soul said, "Let us pass on. He is the realist, who turns his back on the whole he cannot grasp, and busies himself with a fragment."
