Stupid Global Warming

Sounds like a flood happened. I think I read about that in a book somewhere.

I've speculated numerous times that the Mediterranean probably came near drying out during the last Ice Age. The official line is that it was last dry 4 million years ago.

Ryan and Pittman say that there are serious scowering marks in the bottom at Gibralter where the 'dam' droke and allowed the refilling of the Mediterranaean after the Ice Age. Then eventually the Black Sea also 're-filled' because it had dried about 500 feet from the level of the entrance to the Mediterranean...a giant salt-water, water fall.

New Evidence Of Noah's Flood?

When they decipher it, it will say, “Should have stopped the frickin’ fracking.”

The enormous stone totem, now split in two and sitting in the Sicilian Channel between Tunisia and Sicily, was hewed from a rocky outcrop some 300m away when the Mediterranean Sea was still a dry basin.

From what I can gather, the Mediterrean Sea was formed by a massive flood about 5 million years ago. However, the lowering of sea levels by the ice age glaciations is enough to account for the 40m mentioned, so I assume this is the basis for the interpretation of this object, however speculative it might be.

There is a hole in the monolith and another hole in the ocean floor. Wow

[Terry L Smith]

It is a relic of the Hyborean Age!!!

——when the Mediterranean Sea was still a dry basin——

or, it capsized the raft and sank

Good thing they didn’t have smart phones back then or nothing would ever have gotten accomplished. :)

This is really, really, sunken

Archeology is consistently pushing the date(s) of various previously unknown cultures/civilizations back in time. This article overlooks some additional discoveries worldwide which also indicate a much older time line (Puma Punku, Original Sphinx before Pharoah head)

What is needed now is a coherent theory as to why these cultures/civilizations disappeared and our species spent perhaps thousands of years in recreating the abilities/skills that are demonstrated by these ‘surprise’ finds.

At that time they should not have been able to drill holes with that precision according to current thinking.

So that ice age went on so long people were building in lower areas unaware water was once there and would come back.
Seems to mean to me that ice ages, even mini ones went as long as a few human lifetimes.
