Our past before our present
I think you will have to paraphrase in English if you want to get across the "concentrated sloganesque" meaning of the Italian - once you've understood the hype.
You could also try with exist, such as "We existed before being" and I'm sure any decent philosopher would turn in his grave a the thought!!

Discussion
In that paragraph the subject is "Atlantis".
This is the paragraph:Misteri irrisolti, invenzioni geniali e antiche conoscenze imperscrutabili, ci conducono inevitabilmente all�ipotesi di
�Noi-prima di noi�. E sulle passerelle di Milano, gli stilisti interpretano questa possibilit� nelle creazioni uomo A-I 2002-03.
Alla ricerca di un�origine, di un�etnia perduta.
Ci si mette alla ricerca, dunque, come esploratori pronti a partire per un viaggio che ci porti all�interno di noi,
nei meandri della cultura/del tempo/della storia.
Ci si lascia pervadere da un�ispirazione,
da un�intuito che ci conduca nel vivo della civilt�.
Perlomeno, di quella che conosciamo.
