"According to the author, tantalizing archaeological evidence exists of settlements under a ``silt curtain'' left by the sea floods in drowned coastal regions from Southeast Asia to the Middle East"
Don't we have the technology now to look and see if there are any interesting shapes under that silt curtain?

"Don't we have the technology now to look and see if there are any interesting shapes under that silt curtain?" Yup. But, the area is twice the size of present day India, called Sundaland. I've posted some articles about some interesting things found underwater in that region. I'll see if I can find some.

If the ancient Peruvians built their pyramids out of stone and cased them in limestone (now gone) that was polished so they glistened in the Sun, I'll believe they were comparable. That's not to say that the Peruvian pyramids weren't impressive, though.

In an exhaustively researched and creatively argued reassessment of mankind's origins, British physician Oppenheimer, an expert in tropical pediatrics, contends that the now-submerged area of Southeast Asia was the cradle of ancient civilization. Oppenheimer's model has "ancient" civilization beginning in east Africa......color me confused!

Actually, the 'pyramids' look pretty good for constructions made with stacked bags of rocks.
Of course, another interpretation could be they were just cleaning up the yard and stacked the bags of rocks in a few convenient locations.
Those pesky aliens were clever.
