Aye perhaps

Perhaps most of ancient advanced human civilization sunk beneath the oceans. Rising sea levels and all that. Would explain stuff washing up on the shores. That or inter-planetary colonization.

My thing is, is that he said that there were little fishing villages that were discovered, where people can speculate where the cities used to be. So there are some small remnants. Meaning if they were sunk beneath the ocean it wouldn't be a natural occurance, making me moreso lean on the fact that they sunk beneath the ground, and the water is digging these relics up from the ground they laid before....infact, what if their used to be a whole different half of the continent that they now live on, thats suddenly disappeared one day into the ocean, this part of the continent would've been massive and had the major cities, towns and villages upon it, but something happened that caused this half of the continent to collapse inward and be ingulfed by the ocean leaving only what people can believe are fishing villages behind.

Or maybe simply those arifacts weren't made by humans.

or these pices are falling from the sky into the ocean from the "nebula" and a portion is washing up on shore.

I would say many old historical sites may have been destroyed during wars or on purpose by other tribes, such is the case with many places in human history

There's also to take into account what they made buildings out of. Cities made mostly of stone can leave remnants behind for thousands of years (depending on earthquakes, weather, plant life, and the amount of stone plundered for building by other people that come around later) but if they built their structures out of the materials we do today at the most it might last a few centuries before neglect turns them into at best a pile of junk. Leave Chicago empty for a thousand years and I don't think anyone would recognize it for what it is today. If the theory of the rise and fall and the rise again of human civilization is accurate then where we are today our ancient ancestors already were several dozen-thousand years ago, and after we're gone a replacement great-civilization will one day be again in another few dozen-thousand years.
Then of course, as others have mentioned, there is warfare as well. We've all seen what a carpet-bombing or a nuke does to a town or city (or can look it up if we haven't). If their world went through global nuclear warfare it's no surprise at all that the old nations are gone and very little remains aside from bits of junk found in nature and in riverbeds.
