Archaeological excavations off the coast of Rome in the Mediterranean Sea reveal that Stone Age people living over 7,000 years ago utilized sophisticated manufacturing techniques and advanced nautical technology in the construction and operation of their seafaring vessels.
According to an analysis published in the journal PLOS ONE, the ancient seafaring vessels discovered at the site are the oldest ever found in the Mediterranean, which may offer "invaluable insights" into the technological sophistication employed by Neolithic navigators...
According to the researchers, they found five dugout canoes in the ancient lakeshore village of La Marmotta near the coast of Rome, Italy, dating from 5,700-5,100 B.C. While they already knew that ancient seafarers traded throughout the Mediterranean, the dugout canoes revealed signs of advanced nautical technology not previously found in Stone Age vessels.
For example, the boats contain what the researchers describe as "advanced construction techniques," including transverse reinforcements. The researchers behind the unique find say these advanced construction elements "would have increased the durability of the hull and protected it, as well as improving its handling."
One of the canoes also contained the remains of three t-shaped wooden objects that had a series of holes in them. In more modern vessels, such devices are used to fasten and operate sails.

and just think most of those people lived in what is now 400 feet below the oceans, but was then ocean front and river mouths. Now buried under who knows how many feet of mud and silt.
Just looking at the size and shape of the vessels, I’d say they were primarily for fishing. They couldn’t carry much in the way of cargo or trade goods.................
Man, what I’d give to be able to go back in time and just watch these people live their lives.
GOD created man in His own image. They were Divinely intelligent. Man has digressed since.
The stone age people caused the seas to rise with their civilization....
Yes. There is no reason to believe that we are any smarter than our ancestors. If one compares the wisdom of the Ancients to culture today, we may in fact have become significantly dumber. Technology is knowledge based, which accumulates with time; wisdom has to be re-acquired in every generation, and lately we have been flunking big time.
The truth is out there.
Under there anyway. :^)
Our culture can afford to be so stupid because it is fantastically rich: older cultures showing such stupidity would quickly be wiped out by nature or less stupid neighbors.
The Deep State decided the whole village needed water boarded. Another example of Big Governments over reach.
Sentinal Islands...
C’mon man... it’s due to ancient impact event, and aliens...cuz we sure does peeps were dumbah than us peeps.
But but that proves rising shorelines were a phenomenon thousands of years before the industrial revolution and population expansion were blamed for it.
Someone call Google, Snopes et al to insure this doesn't get around. The fortunes of scammers depend on it!

No such thing; it was the melting of the 2 mile high ice caps at the end of the last glaciation
You gotta admire them...from a distance, that is.
Ah, but we have melting ice caps right now with NO rise. Water is unique as it truly doesn’t “get wasted”, just recycled through natural processes. More here, less there over time and at times broken down back to oxygen and hydrogen, but still all here nevertheless.
We have nothing near what existed back then for ice - all of N.America, Europe, to the Urals had ice 2 miles thick; its was so much weight, the land in Finland is still rising.
The amount of ice that melted then caused the ocean to rise on average 400 feet. Today, if all ice, including the ice cubes in your freezer melted, sea level would rise less than 40 feet.
More here? It rains down on Earth in meteoric form. There’s lots of water in many asteroids. Other water vapor escapes through atmospheric evaporation and is lost into space.
Don't buy into the meltdown lies. While one pole is melting a little, the other is increasing ice cover. So-called scientists will say what they're PAID to say!
