Your first line. Yes. That’s why if the earth ever gets something that tilts its axis rather violently all that momentum is going to cause catastrophic flooding.

Faked, like the moon landing. God's earth will celebrate its 6,245th birthday come October. In the seventeenth century Archbishop James Ussher of the Church of Ireland calculated that the earth was created on October 23 4004 BC at 9 AM--and we must assume that it was Pacific Daylight Time. In 1972, my geology class at Occidental College met at 9 AM on October 23, so the Geology Department held a surprise party in the classroom to celebrate Earth's birthday. Our professor, the noted glaciologist Joe Birman, apparently was taken by surprise, but he gave an impromptu speech celebrating the occasion. The event made the evening news on the local television stations.

Not only dead, but they might have been wrong! Read this morning’s WSJ on how Saint Albert Einstein might have been after all dead wrong in his relativity!
To: SunkenCiv
Thanks. I saw that. Interesting places, this world.
Too bad we can’t all get along and enjoy all of it.

Very interesting. According to Ryan and Pitman, the
Bosphorus straight broke thru to the Euxine lake about 5500 BC as you well know. The preliminary dating of this new site is 5,000 BC. If I remember correctly, about this time the ocean level were about 1 meter higher than now. So this site should be underwater during the time it was flourishing. This means there has been major subsidence in the area or the sea level was fluctuating widely in small geographic areas.
Great Post as usual Sunkenciv.

God's earth will celebrate its 6,245th birthday come October. I will be celebrating my 7th anniversary of quitting nicotiana tabacum on October 4th. What a coincidence!

More details would sure be welcome, because the first question that occurs is what was the relationship between this town and the Bosporus dam? Is it underwater because of the dam breaking or for a different reason?
Very interesting find.

Look there my friend and you will be amazed. You speak as if you have secret knowledge.

There is evidence of very thick salt deposits on the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. When the Ice Age ended the water was probably much evaporated, and only when the ocean level was as high as the bottom of the Straits of Gibralter did it start to refill. There may have been times as the level became higher and the bottom more eroded that the ocean rushed it with a great flood.
To: gleeaikin
I think they went through that and placed the Mediterranean flood at about 7 million years ago. The Black Sea flood occurs every time there's a serious interglacial that brings the ocean level back up to about what it was anywhere from 8,000 to 5,000 years ago.
The problem for human beans in this cycle is that there weren't any 7 myr ago, and 8 tyr ago no one seems to have had writing.

The Med dried up a number of times — most recently about 5 million years ago. It was filled approximately as we see it today when the Black Sea got connected to the rest of the seas, approximately 7500 years ago.

I quite agree CTP. That’s where all the action has been for most of the last 2 million years or so, during the come-and-go ice ages.
