Take a good look at the Carribean and Gulf Coast regions. Also, the North Atlantic. Blam, the Solutrean and Clovis cultures may be related as well. Could Cro Magnons following the North Atlantic ice pack in search of seals and giant auks have made it to North America? With sea levels down so low, the distance appears to be not so daunting.
Yes. I have it bookmarked, one of my favorites. Some things to notice, no Persian Gulf, landlocked Red Sea, land bridges across the Mediterranean.....and if you'll look real close around the Bahamas, you can see..impact craters?
Now, all the articles I have read regarding the Ice Age say the ocean levels declined by 300-500 feet. If you add another 100-200 loss of water to that map, you can see that the Gulf Of Mexico probably becomes landlocked.
My theory is that the 'underwater city' off the coast of Cuba was in fact built on the coast of a much dessicated Gulf Of Mexico then later the land bridges burst and re flooded the Gulf putting the city waaay underwater.
A book by Firestone, et al which Sunken Civ has posted numerous times explains in great detail how probably several boloids may have crashed into the Northern Hemisphere and created Lake Michigan, and also the Carolina Bays, as well as similar circles in other areas, all of which have an axis along the ellipse which points in the general direction of Lake Michigan. My theory is that crashing into the great glaciers would have caused huge blocks of ice to scatter across the land leaving these elliptical ponds.
I see that Sunken Civ has finally posted a Firestone book, but I think the one I read was earlier, perhaps he can post that one as well. A very good read for the amateur science lover. We really need to verify the ages on a lot more modest size meteor craters The Barringer crater is actually small compared to some of the others which have probably influenced human history. For example the crater in the Iraq Marshes from around 2,000 bc, which no doubt influence many groups in the middle east. Also much larger craters which were formed in Argentina a little earlier which perhaps caused the beginning of the First Intermediate Period in Egypt which Ipuwer described so dramatically.
Three significant areas which I believe need much more work and open minds are dating craters from boloids and volcanoes of significant size, extensively searching underwater to the depth of 400 feet, and digging in areas where exploration stopped because a Clovis layer was found. I believe that many answers to hominid history will be found with those actions.
Incidentally, my interest in these subjects dates back more than 60 years. As a small child I remember my father showing me the National Geographic article on the birth of Paracutin volcano in Mexico in I believe 1944. Several years later, I think in the 5th grade I did a multi color cutaway drawing of a volcano for science which got me an A. Not long after that archeology and anthropology piqued my interest and of course it all continues to this day.
