Yeah, that made no sense. Things were way too modern to be "thousands of years ago". Guys, let's not forget that this happened thousands of years ago. So, maybe it was 5000 or 10,000, or even 100,000... By the end of the flashbacks, Gothel says that she wiped clean all of human nature. So it seems that the civilization of human will begin again.

There is even a theory just like this. Like there were a pretty clever and techonological civilizations prior to us, but they destroyed each other, and civilization of human began again from the start. If that is what they were going for, they should confirm it in an interview. I love the idea though.

I almost can't believe nobody would notice these significant timeline problems and the designs during production. But they had weird timelines even before Season 7 and this season is especially messed up, so who knows..
