If a previous advanced civilization existed prior to the Ice Age and built primarily with glass and copper, the ice melt runoff would have scoured it to bedrock, and time would have destroyed most if not all artifacts; plus. since human cities and population centers tend to be on ocean shores and at river mouths, they would now be under hundreds of feet of sea water and covered by more hundreds of feet of silt.
There is reason to believe that before the Old Kingdom of Egypt was established a group called the “Westerners” lived and built on what is now the Nile Delta, however all remains are buried by 3,000 years or more of silt - several hundred feet down.
The Ice Age ended 5,000 years or more before the “Westerners” built.
More likely a petrified cucumber....
"The bracelet is thought to have adorned a very important woman or child on only special occasions..."
Because it couldn't possibly have been worn every day as a status symbol or merely as a pretty bauble. Having made that statement he doesn't follow up with possible places where it might have been stashed in the neolithic era. Flintstones Bank and Safety Deposit? There'enough photographic evidence in Africa and SE Asia in the last two centuries that tribal women love to wear there bling everyday. Men as well. Think neolithic Kardashians
It has always bothered me that archeologists automatically assume that ancient humans were mindless brutes, incapable of creating any form of technology, and incapable of artistic expression beyond what amounts to graffiti on rock walls.
And then these learned professors express profound amazement when they discover an artifact such as this.
After all, these primitives didn’t go to college to get PhDs, nor did they write lengthy dissertations about the world around them.
They just went out and did stuff that helped them live their lives and made them happier.
A++
What she gave him in return.
Don’t know what the big deal is. I saw a guy make almost the same bracelet the other night on Naked and Afraid.
LOL!
Where I used to work we had a tradition in which any guy that announced his engagement had a ball and chain affixed to his leg, and he had to wear it all day until it was ceremoniously removed at an after-work beer party. The ball was actually an old bowling ball.
I guess in today’s world that sort of behavior would result in lawsuits or arrests instead of a party.
Archeologists lie to gain notoriety.
It is not only Doctors who lie to mortgage your home,
or Climate Scientists who lie to global tax you.
It’s a piece of Countess Scarlioni’s bracelet.
Duggan probably broke it.
I see marks made with a Dremel. ;)
Every kiss begins with Kay...did anyone found the oldest Kay store yet? Or did he go to Jared’s?
Reminds me of the bracelet worn by the escaped slave, Friday in the 1964 classic “Robinson Crusoe on Mars.”
Thank you for those.
Maybe the same way they didn’t know about the wheel until the white man showed up?.
There are smart guys in every era. Until ours, they usually got killed and eaten by the dumb ones. The Left wants to take us back to a society under those rules. :)
Every society throughout history thinks, correctly, they’re the top of the line as far as technology goes.
