When we are talking about ancient advanced civilization, what was blown away by the meteorite, we must say that those things are only theories. But when we are looking at those theories in the viewpoint of the people, who lived in the time of example Plato, we must say, that in that time the knowledge of technology was not in the same level, what it is today. If we would live in the time of Plato, we couldn't necessarily even see the power of the convexed mirrors, when they would target the sunlight in the same point.
That might be the very impressive thing, in that time, when the priests have focused the convexed mirror in the particular point when the woods were started to burn. And in that time maybe some priests knew the lightning conductor, what is actually the tallest place on the ground. In that place would the lightning strike during the thunder, and that's why the king's enemies might place in the tallest place, and then the "thunder god" would tell that person, who is the leader of the gang. It's the very impressive thing when the lightning strikes the tree, and that will seem like some effect of the SciFi-movies.
Of course Chinese made rockets at the time of born of the Christ, and those equipment were very impressive. The Chinese used their rockets same way as the modern military uses bazookas, and those equipment were very effective. And probably the Gilgamesh epos mentioned the early Chinese rocket, what was the size of the spear.

But when we are talking about the very advanced civilizations, we must understand, that the technology what that civilization might use is not probably exactly same, what we have nowadays. There is some strange artifact, like "Antikythera mechanism", what is actually the astronomical clock. The problem of that mechanical machine is so advanced, that similar machines could wait until 18th. century. The question is, what the builders of that mechanism actually made with it? Where did that civilization go?
And why they didn't apply that knowledge to the military equipment if somebody was threated them? There were many awesome cities in the world of antique, and many of them just disappeared in the history. When we are taking the vision of the ancient civilization in the visual angle of Plato, we must understand that time the military leaders were shown little bit tougher and intelligent, what they actually were.
Of course, the enemy of those states must have the skills of the gods, because that made own troops seem tougher. At that time were also written the adventure-novels, and some texts what mentions the advanced civilizations could have the fictional origin, but who knows what is the truth about those things. In the time of antique, there were not needed much information or knowledge to become the god. Only the knowledge how to build the lightning conductor could make the person seem like the friend of the "thunder god".
