Cool. Maybe we should cut down more rain forests to see what’s under ‘em.

“...In one of the coins studied by McMenamin, a horse stands atop a number of symbols at the bottom of the coin. For many years, scholars interpreted these symbols as letters in Phoenician script. When that theory was discounted in the 1960s, it left scholars baffled. Working over the past few months, McMenamin was able to interpret the design as a representation of the Mediterranean, surrounded by the land masses of Europe and Africa, with, to the upper left, the British Isles. To the far left of the representation of the Mediterranean is what the geologist believes is a depiction of the Americas...”

O/T, but I found it very interesting: the first chapter of a book titled Ancient Scotland (Stewart Ross, 1991), discusses the Paleolthic Age and its effect on Scotland. The second sentence of the second paragraph on the first page of the chapter reads as follows:

Over the last million years or so the earth has been subject to massive fluctuations in surface temperature, beside which current forecasts of global warming by a degree or two appear relatively unimportant.

During one of the interglacial periods, the sea levels were some 35 metres above present levels.

Had I been allowed a "do over" in life, I might have been a history professor. Humans, particularly liberal do-gooders, have this knack for disregarding everything that happened before they graced the face of the earth. These discoveries in the Amazon lend credence to the previous statement.

The traditional view is that before the arrival of the Spanish and Portuguese in the 15th century there were no complex societies in the Amazon basin

And yet the flipping Spanish and Portuguese who were actually the first in told them that there were large and complex in the Amazon basin.

Why do we have a tendency to write off multiple first hand accounts as lies?
