I’m thinking the stones are currency, and they found the central bank.
Okay, never mind.

??? That seems odd.
I was banned too - for posting the Tim Russet interview of Trump on abortion.
There is a bunch of ancient evidence that humanity was flourishing before Egypt. The problem is that when stuff comes back 40-50,000 years it doesn’t fit the current paradigm of archeologists.
Man has been around for a long time. Through floods, cataclysms, and war.
If we accept stuff as it is, rather than fitting it into a narrow range of acceptable pigeon holes, we might be thrilled with what we find.
Velikovsky? Seriously?
No, not the carbon-14 dating, other evidence.
For example, the memory of this city was preserved in the current cultures of India, before it was rediscovered. These were not the same cultures that were present 10,000 years ago, so how would they know of the city if it were that old? India has suffered repeated invasions and displacements of culture over that period.
Also, the architecture of the city is not indicative of being 10,000 years old. In that time period, the style of architecture worldwide was megalithic, but these structures look nothing like that. Instead, they are quite similar to much more recent styles that can be seen in monuments that are preserved all over India. It beggars belief that they would develop a style of architecture, forget it for thousands of years, and then independently develop it again.

Your comment had me recall something I read years (30+?) ago. In the super-future, all evidence of our civilization will gone and our language and even our beings will have changed but one thing would still be around and need to be dealt with:
Radio active waste. The article went on to cover the necessity of conveying the knowledge that "danger lies beneath here".
Have you read him? Because if nothing else, he is a good read!
That’s interesting information; I wonder how many others have been similarly affected.
Who is FUZZBALL?
I don't know, I got one for adamantly stating that the BLM movement was completely foreseeable and a consequence of not holding our authorities (in general, the police in particular w/ BLM) to accountability… apparently noting that the police committing criminal acts are not held to account makes me too radical, even though my assertion always is/was that the law applies to everyone, period. (Who would have thought that sentiment would be controversial on FR?)
Hope you’re back soon. Your pings are/were some of the best stuff on FR.
So they say. But it could have also been a victim of a huge subsidence quake within the last 5,000 years that dropped it from say, 25 feet above sea level to 120 feet underwater. The tsunami resulting on the adjoining land which remained above sea level would have killed most or all of the nearby population, and the city would have been forgotten in the day to day struggle for survival over the next 20-50-100 years.
If it was simply flooding, the buildings would be more preserved; a quake with subsidence would have collapsed them to rubble. Which is the case here?

While I admit it's none of my business, I would like to know what he did to earn that time-out, so I can avoid the same transgression!
