and there is no saying that some unknown ancient civilization did not use glass and copper as structural materials, both of which would have long disappeared, or been re-purposed, especially if that civilization existed before the glaciation which covered the northern continents.
BTW have you ever seen the story on the Map of the Creator?
The Mali were indeed Muslim.
The preceeding Ghanaian empire, less so, though of course Muslims today try to say they were.
Dear Lord, how many folks will now believe the Marvel Universe is real because of that piece of fiction?
Only Black Jesus knows....
Yep.
As I often point out: when a Christian follows Christ’s example that is a very good thing but when a Muslim follows Mohammad’s example that is a VERY bad thing.
I know it’s just because of a strong silly streak, but that map reminds me of the one Gilligan’s Island episode where they find a stone map made by people they at first thought were trying to leave the island, not get there.
ROTF!!! A great many of them do, from something I read. My question is: How long before it becomes part of the public school black history curriculum?
Thanks Theoria.
Here is an interesting link describing and displaying in maps the developement of civilization in subsaharan Africa. The article differentiates among Christian, Islamic, and Traditional origins.

Given the suggested age of 130,000 years old, that would put it around the peak warm before the beginning of the last Ice Age. At that point, sea level would have been similar to ours which means hominids would be living at current altitudes. Certainly if as the ice began to “swallow” the oceans, then “civilization” would have moved closer to the shoreline and now have been drowned. This whole situation tends to confirm my theory (and that of others) that hominids may have reached relatively high levels of development that were then destroyed by the 100,000+ intervals of Ice Ages.
Regarding civilization in the Okavanga Delta region. The evidence is more than tantalizing, it is monstrous. An area between 300 miles and 400 miles square shows repeated patterns of extended “canals” about a mile apart and running for many miles. Some areas look more weathered that others, and what little data I could find suggest that some areas could be tens of thousands of years old. The nearest “civilization” is Great Zimbabwe in Zimbabwe to the east. The link below shows one photo that probably covers 40 or 50 miles width of land (given that the “furrows” are a mile apart. Check out the video, and then click the Google Earth site. I once spent several hours tracing the GE map throughout the region and it was indeed about 400 miles across. I am astonished that National Geographic or other suitable group has not made a significant effort to study this.

At this site are a number of areal images of the irrigation mixed in with a lot of other African images.
Graham Hancock's "Magicians of the Gods" makes a good case for the demise of prior civilization's demise at the hand of comet fragments. Other than that there are at least one scientific study backing up comet fragments as bringing on the end of last Ice Age as well as beginning the Younger Dryas period, Origin of the Carolina Bays
From several years ago if you can find it: A RE-EVALUATION OF THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL ORIGIN OF THE CAROLINA BAYS* by J. Ronald Eyton & Judith I. Parkhurst
A New Paper on the Origin and Evolution of the Carolina Bays
There are others as well.
Apparently the Egyptians at the Luxor Temple carved the Ramses figures with machine precision that we could not duplicate 50 years ago and perhaps not even today, according to measurements recorded by Dunn in his Lost Technologies book. Whatever machines they use are long gone, but there is no way to make them using the primitive tools attributed to have been used used by the Egyptians.
If you have not read it already, by all means get the book Sunken Civ has frequently recommended: “The Cycle of Cosmic Catastrophes (Flood, Fire, and Famine in the History of Civilization)” by Firestone et al. It’s main focus is about what stopped the warming from the Ice Age about 13,000 ya. A lot of scientific data there.
There’s another book, a little “out there”, and the title doesn’t really accurately express the content, but A) it’s around here somewhere, with a bookmark stuck in it, and B) worth a look.

I'm convinced the little we know about 'those who were here before us' hasn't scratched the surface.
