Dwarka is one of the most ancient cities of India. The city, five miles long and two miles wide, is located 120 feet underwater in the Gulf of Cambay off the western coast of India. The discovery was particularly astonishing to scientists as the area predates all other finds in the area by at least 5,000 years, suggesting a much longer history of the civilization than was first assumed (carbon dating estimates the site to be almost 10,000 years old). Marine scientists used sonar images and sum-bottom profiling to locate the lost ruins and it is believed the area was submerged when the ice caps melted in the last Ice Age.

Older than Stonehenge and the Pyramids, Ggantija Temples in Xaghra, Gozo, are one of the most important archaeological sites in Malta. These two temples are notable for their gigantic Neolithic structures, which were erected during the Neolithic Age (c. 3600-2500 BC). The ruins had been noted since 1772 and the remains were ‘cleared’ (not excavated) in 1827 under Colonel Otto Bayer. The Ggantija megalithic complex consists of two temples surrounded by a massive common boundary wall, which was built using the alternating header and stretcher technique, with some of the megaliths exceeding five meters in length and weighing over fifty tons

Giant Stone Spheres of Costa Rica...are one of the strangest mysteries in archaeology discovered in the Diquis Delta of Costa Rica. Since the 1930s, hundreds of stone balls have been documented, ranging in size from a few centimetres to over 2 metres (6.6 ft) in diameter... Almost all of the balls are made of granodiorite, a hard, igneous stone that outcrops in the foothills of the nearby Talamanca range.
These rocks are thought to have been built between 1000 and 500 B.C....

Well, I'm certainly not a NeverTrump guy — I just don't think that [just] him winning the Presidency is going to magically Make America Great Again. What we need is accountability in government, real Justice and not this there wasn't any intent

when worlds collideseems to be interesting, and this is the second or third time I've seen it referenced, so I'll probably see if I can get a copy sometime in the near future -- but history isn't my strong-suit.)

My dad was as straight an arrow as you could find, a top systems engineer on defense projects during the cold war. But he would occasionally mention Velikovsky as something that immensely intrigued him. I think he read it in the 60s and never forgot it. "Catastrophism" he called it, the idea that there were catastrophes that reshaped the earth, perhaps wiping away advanced civilizations and resetting mankind back to zero, over and over.
Going through his library now that he's passed, I find it filled with books on this theme by writers like Zecharia Sitchin (whose ancient astronaut stuff I don't think he bought into but whose recounting of the myths of Sumeria was of great interest) and Graham Hancock (who, based on all the handwritten margin notes, intrigued him immensely). However Velikovsky is missing, something I've regretted as I wouldn't mind skimming it to see what first got him interested.
