Call me weird but I personally love microbes.
No gods, no graves, and no glyphs. Still interesting.
Columns? Streets? I live in a house that is over 100 years old, and had not been occupied since the 1930’s. I promise you, I have been from one end of the adjacent property to the other with a metal detector and haven’t found the first coin, tool, or man-made metal object. But, I promise you, “microbes” didn’t build that house.
Of course these microbes were!! They were from an incredibly advanced civilization, light years across the universe. Sent here in their micro-spaceship to infect life on this planet with special genes that would lead to intelligent life.
Geeesh....you didn't KNOW that? <^..^>
Just one word. Nanomachines.
Those ancient Greeks. Even their microbes were elegant.
CNN reports that this “finding” is from the Marine and Petroleum Geology journal.
In other words, somebody may have found natural gas or oil and wants to drill there, but couldn’t because of the potential archaeological value. Declare that “germs did it” and TADAAA! you can now drill there.
