That 1.9m tablet pictured at the link looks like polished “Jet Black” granite with ‘skin cut’ letters.

I am in the monument trade. People today get tomb stones in that style, and much more than once, I have come upon such a person while he was in the middle of re-thinking the wisdom of such shallow letters.

They ask me if I can cut the letters deeper. I say “yes, but then you’d have to pay for it and you would not like that.” They then invariably say ‘But look how SHALLOW they are, won’t they disappear with time’?

That’s when I laugh. I laugh and I laugh and I laugh...

I was thinking the opposite. If the Mongolian plate is rising, wouldn’t another have to sink? Or would that take millions of years? I want another continent to rise with Hawaii at the center. What would that do?

Anyone remember about those “ancient cities” off the coast of Peru found back in 1966? There were reports of them in several real newspapers back in March of 1966.

I’ve never seen anything mentioned of them again.

Earthquake, maybe, with a severe drop in elevation?

Thanks! I knew I wasn’t crazy or senile!

Hah...LOL’S

Please explain the term...skin cut...thanks.

[TalBlack]

“Skin cut” is a current term for very very shallow letters. A stone is polished to mirror gloss, a template is glued on and sand blast (sometimes steel shot) takes the polish off. Depth may only be one sixteenth or 3 thirtyseconds. After that there is u cut and after that there is v cut. V cut usually requires a no polish panel to be more visible as the letters darken as they v out.

Thanks Vendome and Flotsam_Jetsome.

I think Gobekli Tepe is more important.

Heck, it was already buried under the dust ten thousand years before Romulus and Remus changed their diapers!

“The god Hapi was the god of the flooding of the Nile, “. Heh

I’ve read that periodically sections of the Egyptian coastline slide into the Mediterranean. Earthquakes.

[Bernard Marx]

I’d guess at subsidence during a large seismic event.

Me too. With the African and Arabian Plates being subducted under the European Plate, conditions exist for many events like that over geologic time.
