Believe it or not?
All this stuff giving us modest sea navigation, symbols on cave paintings likely pre-writing, language, symbolic thought, complex language ... the only thing then required for civilization was the beginnings of agriculture AND right climate period for it to take off.
And if you believe that, they’ll tell you another one.
News flash this morning earlier on FR: Britain has closed their office on man made global warming. One more farce finally gets what it deserves; chucked into File 13.

But but... the world is only a little over 6000 years old! /s
With the exception of what has gone in orbit and other space junk, Voyager included, everything that was here, is here.
Plato was right.
Archaeologist think nothing ever happened before they themselves were born.
Maybe they didn’t cruise there. Maybe they just crawled onto the land from the sea and evolved there independently.

lots of fun articles from boffins about ‘new’ ancient history.
I would really like this to be true, because I am a firm believer than man was indeed seafaring long before we think they were. But being objective and knowing some geology about Quartz, the artifacts do not appear to be manmade. Quartz tends to naturally fracture off of dikes and veins with those shapes as very common because of it’s crystalline structure.
And the weathering appears to be much much more than a very young 130k in geology standards. I could go out and collect a hundred from a local vein that look just like that. So unfortunately this whole find revolves around whether those are geofacts or not and I lean heavily towards geofacts.
A 'prehistoric shoreline' found high upon a bluff would seem to me to indicate that it must have been so prior to the last ice age since later the sea levels were supposedly much lower than today. {Confirms earlier chronology}
Why is this so hard to believe? After all, black Egyptians were taking regular commuter trips between Thebes and the upper Nile area on airplanes that used wind power about five thousand years ago! (I saw this in The Final Call.)
