The Younger/Dryas comet impact crater found...How old is civilization??

[indiucky]

Every Christian knows the Earth is only 6,000 years old, so this is obviously all false.

I'm a Christian....

Tagging to follow ... I love this stuff. Anyone remember the series Leonard Nimoy had back in the 80s about unexplained phenomena, etc?

My wife standing at our extinct (nearly, a trickle half the year) waterfall in Perry County.....About 70 miles below the ice sheet.....

Randall Carlson follows me on Twitter and when I sent him these pics his response was "Where is this?"

HA!

Took me a second. I read that as literally "BELOW", rather than what you meant.

hehehe.. I was gonna say something along the lines of "check your math!"

The only book I've read on this subject is Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel. He argues that plant and animal domestication happened about 9,000 BC and was the catalyst for civilization today.

So if there was human civilization before and during the last ice age, wouldn't they have domesticated plants and animals to support large human populations and wouldn't archeological evidence show that?

The ocean levels rose 400 feet in an instant....Plato puts the destruction of Atlantis at 11,700 years ago....The sphinx water erosion is at minimum, 9,000 years old but Boston University Robert Schloch believes it's a minimum of 15,000 years old....Most of these civilizations are underwater.....

Here is one of the coast of japan...

Here is one one in the Baltic...

Here is Gobeki Tepe in Turkey....Radio Carbon dating states it was buried 9,000 years ago.....Fifty times the size of Stonehenge and 7,000 years older...

We've been on this planet for 200,000 years...I find it hard to believe that all of a sudden 9,000 years ago someone said, "Hey man!!! Let's start planting food and building stuff...What do ya think? You wanna?"

I think, just like today, stone age people and advanced civilizations lived side by side and when the civilizations were wiped out by the mega flood the survivors went out among the hunter gatherers and helped them kick start civilization again....

The Aztecs have that tradition.....That's why when Cortez showed up they thought he was Quetzalcoatl returning to bring them more knowledge.......

Here are the pyramids of the world.....

We know for sure that Gobekli Tepe was around 11,000-12,000 years ago. The standard theory is that there was so much wild grain in the region that they could live a horticultural lifestyle without knowing exactly how to farm, yet have the necessary caloric surplus to erect the site. You don't have to get to an Atlantis style civilization to explain how some lucky people might have been able to settle down and build great things in this model.

Given how long the Stone Age was, it should be no surprise whatsoever that the people at the tail end of it would be really, really good at working with stone. The question is whether climate pressure forced people to work more closely together and thus share ideas more during the last Ice Age or whether they pulled a post 1077 BC style "revival" of previously known technology that was reflected by the Neo-Hittites, Neo-Assyrians, etc. We do know that man with superior technology was able to depopulate England of lions in written memory, but in my opinion saying that anatomically similar and mentally similar man was able to wipe out the dire wolf, cave bear, cave lion, and mammoth is a bit of a stretch. They just didn't have the ranging abilities into the deep European woods to do so from what I've seen; so a catastrophic event just make more sense. (Esp since we know now that around the same time 10% of the world was on fire).

There is a Netflix series, Civilization, this thread convinced me to watch it. Hopefully it will be worthwhile.

 

[finnegan]

singlesix, I highly suggest listening to Dan Carlin's "King of Kings" series on youtube as well.

Given that it is only fair to say that civilization died February 3rd, 1959
