Archeologists Explain Historical Climate Change 4,000 Years Ago

So, was the blowing sand caused by drought? We also have the interesting fact that many civilizations in the Middle East, Egypt, and probably China experienced major disruptions around 4000 years ago. Sunken Civ brought to our attention that a very large boloid caused crater of that age was found in the Iraq marshes after Saddam Hussein drained them. Such an even could have had world wide repercussions for many years. Has any more work been done to study that crater or its affects?

According to the study, the blowing sand was caused by earthquakes and landslides that exposed more sand to the wind so it could blow.

The area itself has always been extreme desert. The rivers from the Andes could have dried up, and that would have been disastrous for them. But they’d never had any rain in the area, so they wouldn’t miss it.

The area is similar in that regard to Egypt, where it almost never rains.

Eeeeeeeeee! ;’)

Oh yeah, Paul Ehrlich, that’s a credible study.

:’) I put the keyword in the ping msg.

:’) Sorry, that sounded a little cranky up there.

The Maya were actually as violent as any people in history, delighting in public torture and human sacrifice and engaging massive wars sometimes lasting over a century.

Reminds me of the PC correct version of the Midwest American Indian tribes...

One with the land, gentle souls, spiritual people, only caught enough food to survive, bah, bah, bah...

The earlier settlers who tried to farm in the Midwest used to go hunting and would leave their wife's a small caliber gun with enough bullets to put one in each of their children heads and than one for themselves...

Suicide was a much better deal than being taken captive by plains Indians. ...

Plains Indians committed horrendous atrocities against settlers...

When Lewis and Clark went through they found that the Sioux and other tribes would travel hundreds of miles to attack the Shoshone and others that they had no conflict at all with. Except to raid, plunder, rape and kill.

Or look up the Moriori. A Polynesian people that actually did become pacifist in nature. Then whalers brought Maori from New Zealand to their islands, who promptly indulged in a decades-long orgy of rape, murder and enslavement.

Just seeing his name makes me cranky.

[SunkenCiv]

I was surprised he was still alive. Y’know, I figured someone would have killed him by now.

I’m waiting read his obituary.
