Oh we would definitely be screwed today if something happened.I get what you're saying but I think it's more likely that these people were no more able to save themselves from cataclysm than humanity is today. We're pretty advanced and yet we'd be screwed if a string of impacts hit us for about the next 200 years for example. To paraphrase from Curtis LeMay, it would put us back into the stone age, if we were lucky.
10,000 years after that? Not much would be evident except our great works of stone would remain. Might not look too different than prehistory does today.
200,000 years of modern human beings and barely 7,000 years of history and all but the last 500 years are mostly speculative. There's loads of time in there for all kinds of shit we can't imagine.
But I bet in 200 years we will have advanced enough that we could protect our planet with an energy shield of some sort.
Again - it is only speculation on my part but I bet if they are that advanced from us, then their space technology would be at least 200 more years advanced than us.
Of course, I have watched and read way too much Sci Fi on my part lol
