Undersea expedition finds 'promising' data
GALVESTON, Texas, March 11 (UPI) -- A submarine expedition to the floor of the Gulf of Mexico has returned with "promising" clues regarding an ancient undersea shoreline there.
Anthropologist David Robinson told the Houston Chronicle that the expedition at the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary yielded some significant data, yet was hesitant to say the area was 20,000 years old.
"We found an area that looks like a promising place to do further research," he said of the 6-mile-long studied area.
The study also marked the first use of some new vital undersea technology and the initial underwater search in the gulf for historical human life.
The 24 scientists involved in the expedition will now determine whether the discovered shoreline does indeed date back to the last Ice Age.
If the scientific group can make that determination, it will then attempt to gather any available evidence regarding human habitation in the area during that time period, the paper said.
GGG Ping.
Fascinating... But beware: that is not dead which can aeternal lie...

Well, maybe they can see how many Cat 5's have been there before, because according to some large hurricanes are directly related to global warming, caused by man of course.
(I might go one step further and name that 'man'....Bush). All his fault you know.
... Stranger eons death may die.
That study has already been done. In the past, cat-5 hurricanes were much more frequent than now. 1,100 years ago, the frequency dropped off to the level we see today.
Well, it's always nice to read facts:) Thanks for providing them.
Ever hear Michael Savage (the Savage Nation) mention the little ice age? It seems it came and went without man's interference, back in the middle ages.
The little Ice Age was terrible for humans. The Younger Dryas was even worse.
Somewhere along the line will come the pitch for money. Private investors welcome but "the government should really sponsor this research."
Thanks very much for the ping to this thread, and the lead article, and for your links to the Dryas...interesting...
And with strange aeons even death may die.
Anyone on that sub named Randolph Carter?
Far below the Gulf's surface,
experts in sub will seek signs of early man in North America
