The underwater finds are part of a growing body of evidence suggesting the existence of civilizations older than anything previously imagined.

Very interesting!

It really does seem plausible.

Logical, as well.

Here's an excellent book by Professor Stephen Oppenheimer that you'll love, read this book and your view of the world will change forever:

Eden in the East

The Drowned Continent of Southeast Asia
Stephen Oppenheimer

The biblical flood really did occur - at the end of the last Ice Age. The Flood drowned for ever the huge continetal shelf of Southeast Asia, and caused a population dispersal which fertilized the Neolithic cultures of China, India, Mesopotamia, Egypt and the eastern Mediterranean, thus creating the first civilizations. The Polynesians did not come from China but from the islands of Southeast Asia. The domestication of rice was not in China but in the Malay Peninsula, 9,000 years ago.

In this ground breaking new book Stephen Oppenheimer reveals how evidence from oceanography, archaeology, linguistics, genetics and folklore overwhelmingly suggests that the lost 'Eden' - the cradle of civilization - was not in the Middle East, as is usually supposed, but in the drowned continent of Southeast Asia.
