Past civilisations weren’t even close to industrialised, nor did they span the entire globe. The closest was the Roman Empire of course, and they just sort of faded away over the course of a few thousand years if you count Justinian’s Byzantine Empire as a direct continuation.
Our present situation is much more dire, with global consequences for reasons you are likely already aware.
