I'm not sure people aren't aware of earlier continents because it's hard to conceptualise. It's just that Pangea was the one that happened during the time of the dinosaurs, and nobody cares about anything earlier that dinosaurs. It's a fact.

Haha, that is a good point. However, I feel like it is also hard for people to understand the time scales at which continental drift occurs. Plus it's hard to imagine significantly different continental arrangements. It is one thing to just imagine South America and Africa combined, but it is another thing to follow continental drift back so far that you are essentially looking at an alien world.
