No, There Wasn't An Advanced Civilization 12,000 Years Ago (2017)
- mikewarot 5y agoWhat a low effort piece on the part of a supposed skeptic. He confidently expounds that we have all of history figured out at the end of the article. We don't even know all of the details about the Antikythera mechanism, and that was built far less than 10,000 years ago. Boldly asserting that the established narrative is complete, and can't possibly be wrong just reeks of religious dogma, and is the opposite of science. Update: This letter in Nature Communications asserts that sea levels rose 20 meters in 500 years, about 14,500 years ago. It's likely that most of the settled areas are now well underwater, on continental shelfs. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-21990-y https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-21990-y
