We will not know the true history of man until we start looking in the right place. It is known that man had a preference for costal habitation. We also know that ice ages, and the intervening periods between have resulted in sea levels fluctuating by hundreds of meters. I suspect much of early man’s presence is now well under water. In many instances, Km from present coastlines.

Worse than that,the massive and mind boggling flooding that happened during the younger/dreyus event many thousands of square kilometers of soil were not only removed from costal areas but from many miles inland. Much history has been removed. With all the time life has been active on this earth and all the out of place artifacts. There's really no telling how many times we have risen and only been knocked back to start again.already been proven many species of man has existed together. Who says something besides man hasn't risen here. There's been hundreds of millions of years where civilizations could have come and gone. There would be little evidence. Who knows?

The bottom line to all this is we don’t know shit about the past. We make judgments based on our own experiences and limited understanding of the past. And anyone who thinks that they do are usually the last people you want to rely on for information. The academic community does not have a patent on the past. They are as fallible as anyone else and pray to their own self importance.

Is the Eye of the Sahara the lost location of Atlantis? I don't know, but it sure could be. More evidence please. Just an example. They just found a new chamber in the Great Pyramid, right above the main entrance. So who built it... like you said, we don't know

I am reminded of the difference in what my father saw when he visited Carlsbad Cavern back in the 1920s, of which he stall some photographs. and the what I saw in 1947 when he stood me there , with what I and my young children saw in the 1970s, and what I saw on a visit just a few years ago. A progressive removal of any sense of the wild and raw experience felt by the cowboy who discovered it, to the sleek disney-like appearance today. No longer does one experience the total blackness that I I experienced as part of a group moving away from the entrance to the Rock of Ages, where the ranger had us stand as the lights were turned out. Suddenly I was in a threatening darkness, that was suddenly relived by the strains of a recording of the old hymn:” Rock Ages, “ prompted of four by the huge formation of that name. Now that is all gone, and we have a tamed environs,ent that a false secularism lends us to. believe is reality.

Just because they have legends about their past doesn't make it so. Verbal tradition is so prone to distortion and embellishment that it cannot be trusted even when it begins from an accurate source. It's equally possible that they didn't actually have a longstanding verbal tradition until millennia after the ice age glaciers receded and they were already settled in the Americas - that their current verbal traditions are no more than invention to explain how they got there, just like the various creation myths around the world.

They do and right under the bags, one theory on the bags is that they were holding water for the plants. Preveen Mohan believes they held batteries, his vids mostly done in Hindu temples are awesome, he does detailed shots of actual sites and the often astounding stuff inside, explains what and why he thinks is going on and invites your opinion on what you think. I think a lot of the temples are far older than the archaeological dates, and since the sites have been occupied continuously I suspect the dates he gives are conservative estimates. I don't always agree with his opinion, but he gives you the screenshots to make up your own mind rather than just reciting a lot of data that you can't examine for yourself.

For what we know, in West Eurasia all agriculture (cereal at least) originated in Palestine (PPN A/B), while animal domestication is centered further north in the Taurus-Zagros area instead (goats and sheep east of GT, cows west of GT at later date, pigs are still a bit mysterious but in that area as well). There are separate instances of Neolithic (North and South China, millet and rice respectively, Papua: sago silviculture, later also America and less autonomously Africa: most tropical crops) but in West Eurasia that seems to be all.

Already, we have to drop away our absolute prejudice of modern Christian/Islamic/Judaism bias. Many comes to anointing the Fertile Crescent as the origin of human civilization. Win verifiable evidence as places throughout eastern Africa has the oldest remains of human populations, we merely have places we are modern people have not looked. The reason why this area of turkey has generated excitement in many ways beyond a revenue stream for the country of Turkey (the modern country nation state that serves as that for the Roman Empire’s Christian city of Constantinople, home of its first church the Hagia Sophia, and later the Ottoman Empire capital of Istanbul… because it shatters the falsely, derived religious beliefs of trying to fit the entirety of human history into the space of the three western religions creation story timeline. Import, scientist and archaeologists are trying to fit actual human history into religious biblical myths. The real reason is that not only is Gobeki Tepe is far older, but many of the civilizations across many places of time are likely falsely dated to be younger. That falls dating is purely arbitrary, and does not reflect the evidence.

That city life is a defining human phenotype makes sense. No need to be overly categorical about it, but one thing you would do while living there would be building stuff, and telling stories about why, distilling the stories into images. Francis Scott of Yale iirc wrote a book "The Art of Not Being Governed" where some agriculturalists fled the rice paddies and the tax man and left the books and the writing behind as well, to live in the jungle or forests and hills. He didn't suppose that to be a human phenotype, but why not? I choose to live far from cities and towns, and I wonder sometimes why anyone would -- but you are more social when young, and have more energy to party. We should not assume the sacred temples were never great dance clubs, or that that was not their primary purpose. They may not even have been narcissistic conformists, but spiritual and beautiful dreamers who slept well had no enemies or fear of death. Poets. Who lived in the moment, in the Earth, with the stars and planets and the space between, continuous with the space within.

IMO GT was a potlatch site and thus you should compare with Chinooks rather than Florida. The source of all the fish was in the Euphrates, just north of the site, the source of all the game was in the extremely fertile valley to its south. Just because they built their "totems" on stone it does not make them a civilization. We know how potlatch work: various popular leaders rally their teams into competing for achievements such as bringing the most fish to the communal feast or rising the most beautiful totem. GT should have not been much different. Also in terms religious I rather compare with Zoroastrianism, especially because of how the death are disposed of (to the vultures) in the iconography. The Yazidi are interesting but don't seem to provide any clue for this, much more common historical Zoroastrianism does instead (and sure: I know Zoroastrianism probably began in BMAC but where did BMAC or its precursor Neolithic originated?)

What do you mean? It was no doubt a most important crossroads culture of the Mesolithic but when they began farming they moved their temples to the villages in smaller format (and then eventually buried the old temple out of respect). Later they'd be conquered by their eastern neighbors of Halafian culture, who went on rampage all the way to the middle Danube (the precursors of the Pelasgians, Arzawans and Etruscans surely) and their peculiarities were lost to history... except maybe for some legacy in Zoroastrianism (vulture funerals).

That's like saying we have the fossil remains of the first T. Rex, when we know that less than a single percent of a single percent of living animals get fossilized in the first place. All of the ones that don't are essentially invisible to science. The same is true of the remnants of cultures. The enormous majority are left out of our models because they simply haven't been dug up yet, or were so old or so biodegradable that they have been completely erased. Archeological science continues to make great strides, but most of the evidence just isn't present to be examined. We can't ever know what is the first of anything, only what is the oldest example of it that we are currently aware of.

We really need to search the floor of the Persian gulf where the coastlines would have been during the lowest sea-levels. We also need to follow the cart-ruts from Malta and other places when they go underwater and see if they lead to something submerged under several hundred feet of water. India has confirmed underwater cities in the gulf of Cambay. Unfortunately underwater archeology is astronomically expensive.

The biggest misunderstanding about our past is that history does not follow a gradual path. So it's not possible to explain 150,000 years of history when you do not know about the cycle of seven natural disasters that is affecting our planet Earth and its inhabitants in a severe way. That cycle is mentioned in several ancient books as the Mahabharata from India and the Popol Vuh from the Maya. Such a cycle can only be caused by a celestial body that is approaching the sun and its planets with long time intervals. We found pictures of that approaching planet. We now know this planet as planet 9 or X. As an effect of these recurring disasters, civilizations come and go in a fixed schedule of five. Four live only a short time and are less developed and one lives much longer and is at the end highly developed. This cycle goes back hundreds of thousands of years and will continue in the futurre. Countless names are used worldwide to name this planet and the disasters that are battering the planet Earth. Noah's Flood maybe the best known. Phaeton, Quetzalcoatl, Shiva or Nibiru are others. To learn much more about planet 9, the recurring flood cycle and its timeline, the rebirth of civilizations and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". This book answers many of your questions about ancient history. It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9

They have to have a deeper meaning. Edward Leedskalnin (I hope I spelled his name right) creator of the "Coral Castle" was seen by a few small children moving giant blocks of stone. When they got home their parents asked them how he moved the stones and they said "He moved them with the Ice cream cones".

When i first started paying attention to the past....humans were definitively 150,000 years old and civilization was 6000 years old. If you argued against that, you were a quack. Today, 35 years later, humans are closer to 300,000 years old and one of the sites in turkey (golbekli or Kharahan tepe) is the oldest civilized site. So, to me, anyone who claims, without a doubt, that these are the thresholds and that humans or civilization is no older than this, has a closed mind. Humans could well be much older, maybe 500,000 years old, who knows? The earth is big if we have found the oldest little skeleton in this vast land, its a miracle.. Tbere is still so much to find, im sure. And in being 300,000 years old, im sure that some groups of clever humans got together and built some stuff yet to be found, maybe 240,000 years or 190,000 years ago. Maybe it didnt survive test of time. So, i guarantee that civilization is much older than what is found in turkey.
