We don't know.

If the most naive Big Bang model (without Quantum Gravity) is right,
there was no "before" the BB, since time came into existance at the BB.
"before the BB" makes then equally little sense as "north of the north
pole".

This model very probably is *not* right. But since we don't have a
working theory of Quantum Gravity up to now, we simply can't say what
came before the BB.
