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. They should have named the area a lost city or something, so this made more sense, if that is what they were going for. But I do see your point. See the Legends part of this page for examples:
