Can’t be...

Saint AL Gore and Messiah Obama told us that only Evil Coal and SUV’s cause the oceans to rise....

Ravda, Bulgaria is over on the far lower left part of the picture TOTALLY OUT OF SIGHT.

The deal is there is a natural shelf (obviously a sea level strand) that looks to be about 75 miles wide in this area. It's quite wide to the North along Ukraine.

I find it curious somebody still finds it necessary to "prove" the Black lake once existed ~ i'd think the burden of proof would be on the guys who don't think it existed.

The sea level really did drop all over the world about 114,000 years ago. About 7500 years back this was the LAST part to get re-flooded.

Note, there's an area of coastal China (near FuQuinWang) that appears to be a tad unstable. Over the last 8,500 years it's risen and dropped due to earthquakes, floods, etc. People have lived in the region for 30,000 years ~ this is opposite Taiwan where people have also lived for 30,000 years or thereabouts.

All of which is neither here nor there, but the present native population of this area back 5,000 years ago suffered some extensive earth movements and they took to the sea adopting a fishing economy. They later settled Taiwan, then the Riyukuyus and Southern Japan, Fiji, the entirity of Polynesia, and maybe even parts of Chile and Middle America.

Recent discoveries have established that it was the people already in this area who became the Polynesians ~ not Han Chinese who moved South to farm rice. Even though this area has long term flooding it's not suitible for rice. instead, they farm other grains (wheat, barley, rye) and fish.

It all makes sense and ties the root Polynesian language known to make up part of modern Japanese to all the other branches of Polynesia.
