Yeah, ‘coz stone artifacts and footprints are carried by the tides.
Yeah, some huge tentacled creature would snatch ‘em right off the deck! :^)
Sea levels at the end of the last ice age were hundreds of feet lower than today. That means there was a very different geography. Where there is 20 feet of water today…it would have been a hillside 13,000 years ago.

there fixed it
I wonder how they got past the Kraken?
Nope. That’s what the research was about.
from much later, but nice sidebar:

I hear The Eurythmics sailed across the 7 seas.
“ wonder how they got past the Kraken?”
Probably paid the toll fee.
Hahaha, that's some crazy stuff right there. I don't call a couple of monkeys hanging onto a log for dear life and drifting from island to island partway across the Aegean Sea 'sailing.'
Aside from considerable drops in ocean levels, and also Mediterranean Sea levels, Weren’t there also periods when the whole Sea pretty much dried up as shown by salt layers in the bottome? What were dates on very low levels, and dried periods?
The last one was 5.3 million years ago.
The Nile carved a ‘grand canyon’ type watercourse during a (the most recent?) period of dessication of the Med, a fact discovered during prelim work on the Aswan High Dam.
When the former barrier at Gibraltar was breached, the Atlantic waters poured in and refilled the Med basin over a period of years or perhaps decades.
There may have been an earlier partial flooding (during the 650K years of the Med dessication) when a higher, larger version of the Black Sea spilled over into the Med.

That is a sweet dream... /rimshot

Hahaha, ironically, that's some crazy stuff right there, since that's not what is being claimed.
