Sometimes I wonder if mankind had to live ‘underground’ due to something like a nearby supernova.

predating the discovery of metals, pottery or even the wheel

We have firm dates on all these events?

Umm wow. I followed the link and was reading through it while watching TV. I looked up and there it was on the History Channel too.

I think I read they say they have only uncovered what, like 5 percent of what’s there?

No doubt there are still many amazing things to find.

With all the animal motifs and the circles, I’ve been inclined to think...

Is this Planet Earths first zoo?

Read “The Source” by James Michener, which traces the people of ancient Israel.

Written a few decades ago, it is nevertheless a good read about ancient civilization in the region.

I think it was an entry portal for working bioengineers among the Ancient Aliens General Operations Division.

Images of the fauna and flora they might be working with or seeing as tourists were placed strategically around the lobby like travel posters today.

And on the seventh cosmic day, the chief of the G.O.D. looked around, said, “That’s a wrap. Let’s leave it to ‘em with G.O.D.s blessing.”

I wonder if Fred Flintstone lived there. Maybe we have discovered Bedrock.
