Money solves all problems.

Apparently. At least if you're the one on the take.

Stone Age Site Found Under North Sea (8,000 BC)

Graham Hancock writes a book about it and he's called a nut.

Go figure.

They will come after me first since I require a $271 donation to keep the villages and towns from being swallowed up by the ocean.

I'd be up there with you except they only asked about one vehicle. I gave them my wife's car - a mid-size 4 door driven about 25K a year. I couldn't add my SUV that is driven about 9K a year. Oh well, what they don't know won't hurt them (only they think it will, ha ha).

Reading further: "It's clearer and clearer that it was a massive, sudden flood," says Lüth. "Log boats were lost, fish traps were lost--it can't have come in centimeter by centimeter." To Lübke, the evidence seems more ambiguous; he thinks the flood could have taken decades.

Hmmm. Could this have possibly been of Biblical proportions?

Sodpoodle's post #8 makes that implication.

[sodpoodle]

I didn't mean to imply anything - y'all are the experts...the 8,000 years seemed to be such a coincidence.
Both posts showing up at the same time and everything.

1. There was a volanic eruption 8,000 years ago in "Europe"
and
2. Archeologists find 8,000 year old drowning victims.

Or something like that;(

"Stone Age world beneath the Baltic Sea"... I don't see why this is news. As near as I can tell the countries near and around the Baltic Sea are to this day still in the Stone Age...

Just intended to bump your post #8.

The older I become the more I realize life can turn on a dime without any warning.

We may never know what happened with these coastal settlements but it evidently wasn't good.

Interesting article. It makes one wonder if these people were the progenitors of the Balts or the Celts or the Germans, or whether these people did not adapt to changing circumstances and died out.

[A message]

The article was a potpourri.

Until 1989, sonar scans, diving, underwater excavation, and aerial surveying were forbidden in East Germany for fear scientists would run (or swim) away.

Why Communism sucks part 1.

Coastal development, which might have disturbed sites near shore, was nearly nonexistent.

Why Communism sucks part 2.

A growing body of evidence gathered by these and other undersea researchers reveals that about 7000 years ago--more than 2000 years before Stonehenge--people built fish fences, dug food-storage pits, and established sizable Stone Age communities along the shores of what appears to have been a rapidly rising Baltic.

Sign of global warming 7,000 years ago?

Black Sea Deluge

[sodpoodle]

Just got back from dinner - scrumptious shrimp- now those little crustaceans have survival skills.

Having read most of the referenced material in subsequent posts - I now have brain overload itch.

Which is why I got off SunkenCiv's ping list - way too far over my absorption level.

tee hee

I wonder if this is why Ukraine has 30 ' of top soil in its Black Earth region.

[bcsco]

Thanks for the bump about 'Black Sea Deluge'. It's getting late for me so I'll check this out tomorrow.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks for the pings. :')

Reperations!!!
