Did an ancient, barbarian society somehow have access to some special knowledge that we now don't have? And somehow we can't find out with our wealths of information, ability to share knowledge, scientific understanding?
Maybe about some things, but about the end of the world, I would doubt that. To have either prior knowledge of what the apocalpyse is -- or the perfect ability to predict the future -- that's a tall order man. Prior knowledge of the very day of the apocalypse would suggest time travel, precision astronomy, or a message from the aliens. The perfect ability to predict the future would suggest time travel or some sort of bizarre psychic power shared across an entire culture that we are currently unaware of.
And then, to have any one of these abilities and yet still be entirely dominated by the incoming Europeans... bad karma man! Couldn't they have used their special thing, whatever it is, against the white man? Call the aliens back, hey your plan wasn't supposed to include us getting offed, right? What do you mean this time travel thing can only do centuries, we need to erase the battle we lost last night!
