That is a really great question... but at this point all we can do is speculate, and perhaps an answer will come up in revolutions. Actually have fact to prove that do start at some point other than just at 1999, at the very beginning of M1, the traced phone b/t trinity and cypher takes place in 1998, that's all i have really

The “peak of human civilisation” that agent Smith refers to in M1 is most likely the 20th century. It is when the Industrial Revolution really started to show, we got technology and new science, the likes of which no one would have dreamt about 50 years earlier. Etc.
There is a reason to argue the Matrix runs from 1900 to 1999. And that is the time, which Morpheus tells has elapsed since the previous One. Namely 100 years. That previous One (the fifth Anomaly) reset the Matrix, like Neo was supposed to do, when he met the Architect, and that is 100 years ago. There has been no one else to reset the Matrix in the time between the fifth one and Neo.

The Sentinels wipe out the humans. They may not destroy the entire city. Sure it needs some “rebuilding”, but it’s more or less intact.
