and just think most of those people lived in what is now 400 feet below the oceans, but was then ocean front and river mouths. Now buried under who knows how many feet of mud and silt.

Just looking at the size and shape of the vessels, I’d say they were primarily for fishing. They couldn’t carry much in the way of cargo or trade goods.................

[moovova]

Man, what I’d give to be able to go back in time and just watch these people live their lives.

[stars & stripes forever]

GOD created man in His own image. They were Divinely intelligent. Man has digressed since.

[minnesota_bound]

The stone age people caused the seas to rise with their civilization....

[hinckley buzzard]

Yes. There is no reason to believe that we are any smarter than our ancestors. If one compares the wisdom of the Ancients to culture today, we may in fact have become significantly dumber. Technology is knowledge based, which accumulates with time; wisdom has to be re-acquired in every generation, and lately we have been flunking big time.

[Jim Noble]

The truth is out there.

Under there anyway. :^)

Good point about tech vs. wisdom.

Our culture can afford to be so stupid because it is fantastically rich: older cultures showing such stupidity would quickly be wiped out by nature or less stupid neighbors.

[BipolarBob]

The Deep State decided the whole village needed water boarded. Another example of Big Governments over reach.

The more I read of the past, the more I believe our ancestors, to perhaps a hundred thousand years ago, were just as smart as us, probably moreso.

I think that ease of living, among other things, has resulted in an IQ drop in modern people. The Idiocracy principle, in effect. People would, indeed, have to have been smart to survive in harsher, more primitive conditions.

However, I am now also open to the possibility that there were advanced civilizations that existed long before these more primitive times, due to analyses of things like the level of engineering that went into the Great Pyramids (that we can't duplicate even today), the true age of the Sphinx being at least 12-13,000 years, and the existence of the underground city of Göbekli Tepe, which is at least 10,000 years old.

Modern "science" tries to paint the humans of the past as being barely-evolved cavemen who improved over time until they reached the current apex, but more and more I think that is mere conceit.

Sentinal Islands...

[Getready]

C’mon man... it’s due to ancient impact event, and aliens...cuz we sure does peeps were dumbah than us peeps.

But but that proves rising shorelines were a phenomenon thousands of years before the industrial revolution and population expansion were blamed for it.

Someone call Google, Snopes et al to insure this doesn't get around. The fortunes of scammers depend on it!

No such thing; it was the melting of the 2 mile high ice caps at the end of the last glaciation

"The Mysterious Sentinelese People - Little is known about the Sentinelese because they have spent the last 60,000 years isolating themselves from the rest of the world."

You gotta admire them...from a distance, that is.

[MikelTackNailer]

Ah, but we have melting ice caps right now with NO rise. Water is unique as it truly doesn’t “get wasted”, just recycled through natural processes. More here, less there over time and at times broken down back to oxygen and hydrogen, but still all here nevertheless.

[PIF]

We have nothing near what existed back then for ice - all of N.America, Europe, to the Urals had ice 2 miles thick; its was so much weight, the land in Finland is still rising.

The amount of ice that melted then caused the ocean to rise on average 400 feet. Today, if all ice, including the ice cubes in your freezer melted, sea level would rise less than 40 feet.

More here? It rains down on Earth in meteoric form. There’s lots of water in many asteroids. Other water vapor escapes through atmospheric evaporation and is lost into space.

Don't buy into the meltdown lies. While one pole is melting a little, the other is increasing ice cover. So-called scientists will say what they're PAID to say!
