So... water levels have been rising for at least 5,500 years.

With Big Media’s All Politics Against America All the Time, no one will notice anyway.

I had heard 13,000, but I was wrong. It was more like 16,000

Thanks, yeah, I was using the article’s own numbers to refute their dogma.

Some journalists / press release authors don't include it, some don't.

I have heard of underwater basket weaving but underwater boat building is a new one on me.

Maybe they were trying to develop submarines.

I don’t know.

As murky as that water is, I think Dan may have discovered some more old English turds.

There must be a Department Of Turdology at Oxford or something.

Yeah. We had a hell of a time building those boats underwater like that. The water didn't rise, we were stupid.

They built boats out of stone? Was it in a quarry?

Stone Age stuff at the Isle of Wight. Interesting article. Amazing how advanced they were way back when.

Here’s another clip about ancient rock at the Isle of Wight.

(Emerson, Lake and Palmer playing their first gig ever and the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970). They too were pretty advanced for way back then!

Gives meaning to your FR handle, doesn’t it, SunkenCiv?

Of course, it doesn’t say much about their choice of boat-building locations, though. Perhaps they should have considered converting their business to building prehistoric submarines.
