Underwater structures offshore speculatively increases the date to pre-ice age, at least 12,000 years.
Yep. And they are saying that these sites may have been inhabited for thousands of years before that.
Meanwhile, reckless spending continues because the US is too big to fail....
“Underwater structures offshore speculatively increases the date to pre-ice age, at least 12,000 years.”
I think there is ample evidence that civilizations flourished for as much as 30,000 years ago. Otherwise how did people get to Australia? At no time in human evolution has Australia not been an island.
To put this into perspective, the date is 2016. We, Western civilization, essentially date our civilization from the time of Christ. (When I was in school it was BC for Before Christ and AD for After Death. But as government tries to erase Christianity it has become BCE for before the common era.) So people who built technology and traveled huge distances, all things we consider civilized, lived for at least 15 times longer than our current civilization.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the actual date of farming and technology gets pushed ever backwards to include predecessor species.
