Looks like the Neocon Bombing Party of Serbia didn’t reach that farm. Lucky!
Amazing.
Also amazing that archeologists spend time poring over Google Earth images looking for things like this. How tedious. I wonder if AI has been applied to this.
“...it’s likely that the inhabitants were ‘familiar with warfare’”
Was there anybody NOT familiar with warfare in those ancient times? Or throughout all history, for that matter? Could anybody be born, live and die without having their village raided, marauded and plundered?
The irony for me is that this morning I started watching a show called Hunting Atlantis which focuses on both geology and archaeology of that region.
Even though the show’s bias is on finding evidence of Atlantis, it outlines the glaring gaps in archaeology and the ongoing struggle [ahem] of evolution of known history for this region.
It’s tough to tolerate the show’s ‘campiness’, but there IS some good science.
P
Any remnants of those attrocities?
