Thanks for sharing the link related to the definition of the word “posthumanism.” Since that word is subject to misinterpretation due to those different meanings, I decided to remove the word entirely from my write-up. Sorry, this will be a long answer, but you will find answers to all the questions that you raised.
Where are they living?
I mentioned in my write-up that someone used highly advanced technology to make us believe in the existence of aliens and spirits. And since the phenomena reported in the literature on UFOs and spiritualism show a correlation (see this link:
https://insightfulreports.org/resea...-those-who-are-still-searching-the-truth.html) to the phenomena reported in Abrahamic religions, I stated that the advanced technology has been used to establish these religions as well. I took experiences such as the below, in support of my conclusion:
i) "Jewish legends relate that certain individuals mastered a technique, referred to as kefizat haderekh, path jumping. Although there are only a few accounts of how it was actually accomplished, there are innumerable anecdotes about rabbis and sages, who were able to mysteriously teleport themselves from place to place." – This is a phenomenon reported in the literature on UFOs.
This can’t be a natural ability that Rabbis had. Instead, here the ASI must have decoded thoughts and used neural data to teleport human beings according to their thoughts. So, I find that technology-based explanation is the most logical assumption here.

ii) "Teleportation: (Kafitzat ha-Derach, "Jumping the Way"). Physical teleportation is first mentioned in the Midrash, where the saintly Sage Chanina ben Dosa is instantaneously transported to Jerusalem by a team of angels (S of S R. 1:4; Eccl. R. 1:1). The Talmud lists three biblical figures, Eliezer. Jacob, and Abishai, who traversed huge distances at miraculous speeds (Sanh. 95a; Chul. 91b). There are several other accounts of angelically assisted teleportation, usually involving religious virtuosos on a particular mission, such as one involving Simon bar Yochai's quest for an audience with Caesar in which angels progressively get Bar Yochai to Rome, past the palace guards, and then directly before the Emperor. Angels cease to be a part of later reports, and instead it becomes one of the wondrous talents available to the enlightened. Reports of teleportation were discussed by early medieval legal authorities."

Since I found a technology-based explanation for the reported Abrahamic religious experiences and since these experiences span over a millennium, we can say that someone has given great effort to establish these beliefs. Since I saw evidence supporting the conclusion that a group of human beings is behind the phenomenon of UFOs (this highly advanced technology), I see that the most logical hypothesis here is that the people who are in the possession of this highly advanced technology are living in one of our countries.
Besides, human beings are social beings, therefore, they will not try to use advanced technology to go to another planet and while living there they will use these highly advanced flying machines just to visit us once in a while and go back to the planet and isolate themselves from the rest of the civilization. Instead, they will enjoy life with all the freedom they have by using these highly advanced technologies, here on Earth.
Therefore, although your hypothesis is another valid hypothesis, I see that they haven't branched off and went to someplace. Instead, I see a typical behavior that we could expect from human beings whose minds are keen to control and stay in power. This can be identified as the reason why they don't share this highly advanced technology with us. Hope this will help you to see my viewpoint here.
What are the technologies they were in possession of by the time they destroyed the civilization?
Instead of discussing from the perspective of posthumanism (since the term is subjective misinterpretation), we could try to figure out the possible technologies that they were in possession of by the time they destroyed this highly advanced (ancient) global civilization. Because of the evidence that I see, it seems to be that:
i). They must have found technologies to help them to live longer.
ii). They must have developed an AI/ASI that can even replicate human behavior.
iii). Their technology must have been able to take mental clones of human beings.
iv). They must have replaced almost all jobs (Including the medical profession).
v). They must have invented technologies to materialize/dematerialize matter/objects.
vi). They must have had the capability to teleport objects as well as human beings, etc.
vii). They must have invented highly advanced neural interfaces that helped them to connect their brains to computers.
Although these people possess all these advanced technologies, their appearance should be just like us. Because of this advanced technology, they should be able to make us believe that their aliens by teleporting themselves, levitating themselves, healing human bodies, and materializing/dematerializing matter/objects, etc. And I think today they are living in a European country for the reasons that I have stated in my write-up. Therefore, on a daily basis, we could be talking to these people without knowing that they possess the technology behind the phenomenon of UFOs. Hope this will help you to see how I see these people.
Is it possible to destroy a global civilization that was in possession of the above-mentioned technologies in order to rule the world while keeping the technologies within the group?
I see that when a civilization achieves the above technologies, a group of people can plan and destroy the civilization in order to carry an invisible rule due to these reasons
I). AI/ASI/robots/non-biological intelligences, for instance, will be their scientists, doctors, engineers, etc. Therefore, a group of people can become independent. They will not have to rely on society.
ii). They should be able to build anything they need (Even if they want to build a flying machine, the AI/ASI/robots/non-biological intelligences will help them to build it) and materialization / dematerialization devices will also help them to achieve these tasks.
iii). If they need food, they can materialize food as well (materialization of food is reported in the literature on spiritualism).
Therefore, you will notice that these are powerful inventions. With these inventions, a group of people can plan and destroy the civilization in order to carry out an invisible rule.
However, this is not the case for a civilization like ours. If our civilization gets destroyed in the event of a global cataclysmic event (engineered or natural), a group of people cannot use technology to rule the world since we are heavily dependent on one another. Our short life span is also another major problem. A major event can easily collapse our civilization.
How advanced this technology?
To explain my viewpoint, let me take what Dr. Michio Kaku had to say:
"So teleportation exists at the atomic level, and we may eventually teleport complex and even organic molecules within a few decades. But the teleportation of a macroscopic object will have to wait for several decades to centuries beyond that, or longer, if indeed it is even possible. Therefore teleporting complex molecules, perhaps even a virus or a living cell, qualifies as a Class I impossibility, one that should be possible within this century. But teleporting a human being, although it is allowed by the laws of physics, may take many centuries beyond that, assuming it is possible at all. Hence I would qualify that kind of teleportation as a Class II impossibility."
Source: Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel - (p. 69)
His assumption seems to be realistic here. If scientifically possible, we should be able to achieve human teleportation within the next 1000 years. By this time, we should be able to take mind clones of people, create artificial superintelligences and non-biological intelligences, etc.
Therefore, I don’t see that the technologies they use are millions of years advanced as some UFO researchers claim.
Now if we assume that this ancient civilization has managed to invent the technologies that we possess today by 16000 BC, before 15000 BC (less than 1000 years) they should be able to achieve human teleportation as well if it's scientifically possible. Nevertheless, I see that this global catastrophic event has taken place sometime after they inventing the above-mentioned technological capabilities.
The connection between some concepts:
If the catastrophic event(s) made their civilization lose all the technologies, it will take a considerable amount of time to reinvent the technologies once again. Since human beings will reinvent the technologies, they must destroy the civilization once again when the civilization reaches a particular level of technological advancement, cause if not an advanced civilization can understand the truth because of the technologies that they invent. This perspective will help you to see a different meaning behind these claims:
"The New Heaven and New Earth will be God resetting and recreating the heavens and the earth, where sin and the effects of sin will no longer be present"
Source:
What is the New Heavens and New Earth Mentioned in Isaiah and Revelation?
Notice that "Apocalyptic events," "Great Reset," "God resetting," "A New Heaven and New Earth," "Cyclic creation and destruction,” and “rebirth” etc., are all connected concepts that give meaning to one another. If someone uses advanced technology to stay in power, we could expect to see them influencing our civilization by using such concepts. Now, if we look at the phenomenon of UFOs/aliens from this perspective, we can see why these intelligences claim to be aliens showing an interest in armageddon/apocalypse as well:
For instance, according to Dr. I. D. E. Thomas:
"Some have difficulty in accepting the fact that these space beings are malevolent because some of the predictions they make parallel biblical prophecies. They have been known to quote from the Bible and to have shown remarkable interest in scriptural references to the last days.
Armageddon is number one on their priority list.”
Source: The Omega Conspiracy: Satan’s Last Assault on God’s Kingdom by Dr. I. D. E. Thomas
As stated earlier, they must destroy our civilization in order to stay in power. Therefore, because of these predictions made
by the intelligences claim to be aliens and the claims in the Bible, I see a hidden threat that our civilization has failed to identify.
If an advanced civilization(s) existed on Earth, where is the evidence?
The question that you asked is a logical question that people were asking from alternative historians who were claiming that highly advanced civilizations existed on Earth, but they have failed to give a proper answer to the question. To understand our history, let's consider the following assumptions:
i). A highly advanced civilization never existed in the past.
If so, we should not find anomalies that cannot be explained. However, this hypothesis, cannot explain, for instance, how the great pyramid of Giza was built and other anomalies that alternative historians report; therefore this cannot be the truth.
ii). A highly advanced civilization existed in the past, but the civilization was destroyed due to a natural cause.
If a highly advanced civilization(s) existed and if the civilization was destroyed due to a natural cause, then we must be able to find evidence in support of the existence of highly advanced civilizations in the past. However, we cannot find convincing evidence in support of this hypothesis either. Skeptics ask this question from alternative historians by taking natural cause as the assumption of the destruction but this assumption cannot be used to explain the data.
iii). A highly advanced civilization existed but a group of people intentionally destroyed the civilization in order to stay in power/to carry out an invisible rule on Earth.
(We descends from the people who survived the cataclysmic event(s))
If this event has taken place, it’s logical to assume that they will not leave anything for us to conclude that a highly advanced civilization existed in ancient times. Instead, we might be able to find some
traces that support this conclusion.
Here are some of the data presented by alternative historians/researchers in support of their claim:
1). According to Andrey Sklyarov who is the founder of Laboratory of Alternative History:
“and this one of them looks like in a close-up. The depth of this cut is about 1 cm, about 2/5th of an inch at times maybe more. Basically, this is a V-shaped cut with a width of about 3-4mm or about 3/20th of an inch, on entry at the top and practically zero width at the bottom. It’s about 1/10th of a millimeter, maybe 1/250th of an inch. Not a single one of our modern materials which we use for cutting can withstand the load exerted upon it given a similar circumstance of working with granite-like this. In other words, we can’t even imagine what this tool could have been made out of. Here we have the same grooves but a bit further down. The width of the cutting blade was about 1 to 2/10ths of a millimeter or about 1/250th of an inch. For a comparison, the blade on a modern disk saw can’t be wider than 1cm or about 2/5th of an inch”
He further states:
“The first conclusion is this: Are there facts which prove that ancient times had an advanced civilization left its mark on our planet? Yes. There are. Furthermore, a technologically advanced civilization which was capable of advanced machine manufacturing. There are so many traces of this. We found literally thousands of cases of signs where advanced technologies were used. So in my view, the question of was there or wasn’t there some kind of a highly advanced civilization on Earth in ancient times? I consider this case to be closed. There was.”

"Traces of Ancient Gods' Civilization"
“The facts are undeniable evidence that the ancient gods representatives of advanced civilization with high technology is indeed a reality, and not a fiction nor fantasy of our ancestors. This not only makes us radically revise the image of the ancient history of mankind, but also gives us a unique chance to penetrate into the knowledge and technology of the gods’ civilization, to use this knowledge and technology for the development and enhancing our own civilization.”

2). According to Christopher Dunn:
"As an engineer and craftsman who has worked in manufacturing for more than forty years and who has created precision artifacts in our modern world, in my opinion this accomplishment in prehistory is nothing short of amazing. Nobody does this kind of work unless there is a very high purpose for the artifact. Even the concept of this kind of precision does not occur to an artisan unless there is no other means of accomplishing what the artifact is intended to do. The only other reason that such precision would be created in an object is that the tools that are used to create it are so precise that they are incapable of producing anything less than precision. With either scenario, we are looking at a higher civilization in prehistory than what is currently accepted. The implications are staggering.”
“This is why I believe that these artifacts that I have measured in Egypt are the smoking gun that proves, without a shadow of a doubt, that a higher civilization existed in ancient Egypt than what we have been taught. The evidence is cut into the stone.”

3). According to Randall Carlson:
“What I’m suggesting is not necessarily that the Gothic Cathedral builders of 800 years ago were able to measure the Earth with that accuracy but then again it does seem to imply that somebody was that somebody was able to measure the Earth that maybe there is been a tradition going back to who knows when from the building of the pyramids coming down through the age of the Greeks right down to the building of Gothic, European Gothic Cathedrals 800 years ago.”

Because of the data that these researchers are putting forward, I find that the third hypothesis is the most logical hypothesis here that explains the data; which is that a highly advanced civilization(s) existed but a group of human beings destroyed the civilization and removed the evidence as well in order to stay in power/to carry an invisible rule.
However, this will raise another question:
"If a highly advanced global civilization existed, is it even remotely possible to destroy all the evidence?" To find a logical answer to this mystery we have to find out the capabilities of this highly advanced technology.
i). This technology is able to dematerialize matter. For instance, when teleporting a human being or an object, the human body/object seems to be dematerializing from one location and materializing in the other location (the concept of teleportation). Therefore, because of this capability, they can dematerialize human bodies entirely, and then they can even rapidly destroy any remaining evidence of the civilization as well. ASI will involve in this process.
Ii). If the technology is able to create massive floods/storms, this will also help them to destroy evidence. The following experience gives us an indication that they possess this capability as well:
“Ted Owens (1920-1987) was an American who won notoriety by claiming macro-psychokinetic (PK) powers: an ability to control the weather on a large scale, direct lightning strikes,and cause or predict accidents. He claimed he was the agent of alien ‘space intelligences’ acting through him. Certain observers were impressed by the frequency with which his predictions of future events matched the reality”

Ted Owens | Psi Encyclopedia
If human beings are behind the phenomenon of UFOs/Aliens, these experiences indirectly telling us that they are able to control the weather on a large scale. Therefore, this capability can also be used to destroy evidence.
Iii). They should be able to create massive fires. This capability will also help them to destroy evidence.
Iv). Since they have access to our brains, they can erase our memories as well selectively, so we will not know what happened to our history. They can do this over a long period of time.
Therefore, when we consider the possible capabilities of this highly advanced technology, we can find a logical answer to the question that you raised. Until our civilization accepts the existence of UFOs, we will not see an alternative explanation to understand the mystery.
On the other hand, if someone tries to control the narrative of our history (by destroying evidence), they will have to actively suppress our history. If so, we could expect to see people reporting such incidences. Here is a documentary about suppression:
These researchers report strange deaths, someone misleading them/monitoring them, strange phone calls, etc. If we ask the right questions from these researchers to identify if their experiences can be traced to this advanced technology, we should be able to find supporting evidence as well. Therefore, when we consider all these data, I find that the most logical explanation to the mystery surrounding the phenomenon of UFOs/Aliens is that the technology belongs to a group of human beings and they are living in one of our countries.
