Every major power fights over oil, but what if its true value isn’t economic? What if oil is the compressed biological residue of advanced pre-diluvian civilizations that existed before the flood and were buried during a global cataclysm

Turn off your internet connection and take a holiday… you really need to stop reading those websites/apps (whatever they are).
So… like, they tapped directly into the very ancient cemetery? Or there are billions upon billions of remains all scattered across the globe in one perfect strata that is the same depth everywhere you go?
Can’t be both. Gotta pick one.
Nah bro its definitely oil. Fuel and energy make the world go around
You ask “what if”. The answer is “If that were the case, nations and companies would behave completely differently from how they act in real life.”
I’m going to go with a no on this one. Oil is primarily from the biomass of ancient microscopic marine organisms (things like zooplankton, phytoplankton, bacteria, etc.) that were deposited on the seafloor over time. Most oil reserves apparently date back to the Mesozoic Era (252-66 million years ago), though some are younger (~65 million years old). And some exceptionally old oil has been found to apparently date back to the Paleozoic or even Precambrian eras.
The idea that it was from some “advanced pre-diluvian civilizations” just doesn’t fit with what we know. Even if said civilizations existed back millions of years ago, large organisms just aren’t the primary sources that oil comes from.
Maybe on another planet or in another timeline but not this one.
