I guess my blimp joke went over like a lead- uh, forget it.

Well, you know how it is; you gotta draw a picture for we Nenaderthals ;^)

And yeah, it sounds like a needle in a haystack sorta thing, which I suppose explains so many "accidental" finds.

Do you know right off hand what length the average glacial cycles runs. Seems like ~20,000 years??? In any event, I would expect much of ancient civilizations would be near a coast AND fresh water both. And there would be some movement inland by a few "explorers", again staying near fresh water sources over hundreds maybe thousands of years. So yeah, it would seem there is probably a trove of artifacts....under water.....near river mouths?

great-great grandmother, eh?

I think it's closer to 120,000 years.

The submerged river estuaries do seem like the best place to look.
