cultural origins and stuff
So we know that it would take about 5000 years for everything we have made in the world today to disappear completely if humans stopped existing. We also theorize that humans have actually been around for over 180000 years, due to fossil records. What if this isn't the first time we've been at this point in human development? In the bible there is the story of babel, of how humanity tried to reach god and it all fell apart. What if that was a story about humanity reaching for apace, like we are now, and an asteroid hit and sent us back to the stone age. Noah's flood could be a similar story, one that is retold in many different cultures around the world.

I also don't think humans were the first intelligent civilization to habituate Earth. Some of the old stories could be in reference to other intelligent civilizations
I would say we are the first intelligent species on earth, but I also think it is silly to say there isn't another similar species out there somewhere... universe is a pretty big place
However, the question you asked was: "What if this isn't the first time we've been at this point in human development?"
I suppose that nothing is impossible. Humanity could've developed similar levels of technology, science and other things at different points in history, but there's no proof of that. There are probably billions of theories out there about all sorts of things but "experts" generally only start taking a theory seriously once evidence materializes that supports it and there just isn't any right now for Humans having been similarly developed in the past.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to evidence no matter what our personal beliefs are. And the available evidence doesn't conform to Biblical history either. I've found, after reading this kind of stuff for nearly two decades and being a staunch supporter of conspiracies and religious doctrine until I grew a brain cell, that the people proposing these sorts of ideas are just trying to validate themselves by trying to make the evidence fit their theory. That completely contradicts the essence of the Scientific Method and that's why most experts don't take these people seriously. No-one wants to be told that they wasted their entire lives on something that's wrong so most of them are just trying to make as much money from it as they can by convincing people who aren't able to think critically that what they are proposing is true. Never underestimate the scale of Human stupidity because you'll find that there will be some people that will support even the most preposterous of ideas. Here's one example:

But we all know it was something like what happened in prometheus
We are all alien experiments really
It's like trying to accurately identify tapeworms citing The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy as your reference. Entertaining but ultimately useless. Let's keep Sci Fi in the Sci Fi books
As far as the subject at hand there has never been hard evidence to prove there were past advanced civilization. You have to think about larger evidence that we overlook that we have compelling theories on how they were constructed like stone Henge.
Have any of you read a book called "The Footprints of God"? I read regularly and that book has had the biggest impact on my life lately on how to perceive the universe around us.
I have plenty of beliefs and thought processes but there is nothing I won't allow to be challenged and that is the difference between me and the creationist bible thumpers.
