My son-in-law is a Christian fundamentalist and says the world has only been here for 5000 years max

Someone went through an awful lot of trouble to make it appear otherwise.

"There is evidence of a global drug trade extending back at least as far as the pre-Mosaic dynasties of Egypt."

Some of the oldest mummies of Egypt contain traces of cocaine and nicotine, a drug of the America's.

Lost city? How careless can one get? I mean, to misplace an entire city for centuries...
Can we possibly lose Berkley or Ichita?

Does your son-in-law wear his tin foil hat to bed ?????

Thanks, that's the old article. There is a newer one bookmarked there also.

Seems to coincide well with the age of the Flood. More evidence!

Evolution is part and parcel of a larger general theory called uniformitarianism, the major tenet of which is that changes in biological and geological forms take place slowly and imperceptibly over immense time spans. There's no way to square that conception with such a finding as we're talking about here.

As far as the flood goes, man has always lived near water and you'd figure the continental shelves are basically just the pre-flood shorelines, and you'd EXPECT most of the ruins of pre-flood civilizations to lie beneath the waves.

In other words, to the evolutionists' question "Where did the flood waters go?", the basic answer is NOWHERE; they're still here. There's just more water now than there used to be.

I believe you'd be interested in Exodus To Arthur, by dendrochronologist Mike Baillie.

They have found that the mummies of Egypt contain high amounts of Nicotene and Coca. The best way explain that is that the was trade between the East and the West long before Columbus.

"There's just more water now than there used to be."

Nah. It's just not locked up in the poles as ice any more.

Maybe they lost their lease.

We've lost our lease! Everything marked way down below sea level!

Just a guess.

Thanks. I was just going to mention that. I had seen the pictures of the Maine after they brought her back up. Another item is that Teddy Roosevelt carried a revolver up San Juan Hill that was salvaged from the Maine. I think it was a .38 and the makers of the Movie "Roughriders" knew that fact and ignored it by using a Single Action Colt.

An ancient flood was considered a mythological story as well until recently when hard evidence was found of cities under the Black Sea.

They haven't recovered definitive evidence of habitation on the shore of the freshwater lake that existed in the Black Sea basin before the inundation broke through the Bosporus. Bob Ballard brought up some material that was fashioned by humans, but it was modern contamination (i.e. something that sunk to the point where it was found). However, the show that I say (National Geographic Explorer) indicated that the soil provided evidence of human habitation at the time of the inundation, but I haven't heard anything about that from any other source.

Evidence of what?

The Grand Canyon would have only taken a few years. Where did you do your graduate work in geology?
