The Xom Trai Cave represents a typical residence of the Hoa Binh civilisation (from 34,100 years ago until 2,000 BC)

This is the oldest civilization I have heard of. Does anyone have a book that they could recommend on this topic?

It isn’t one per se — it’s basically a stone age culture, terminating in the VN bronze age.

Well we invented roads so they got them from us! Oh I’m sorry that was Al Gore and the internet!

There had to be older civilizations.......people don’t just drop out of trees and start building roads.

[lilylangtree]

Interesting.

Those weren’t roads, they were runways for the planes which the ancient Viets stored in those caves. Yet to be discovered are the refineries in other caves where they cracked crude oil to make jet fuel. The crude was from the Spratly islands and was transported by their hydrofoils.

[ApplegateRanch]

You don’t read carefully: It was cracked from coal.

“The body’s hips were placed over 25cm of coal and the tomb was covered with soil and large stones. An oval pestle, two carving tools and a horn pointed hook were buried with the remains.”

They could build the planes okay, but had to make fuel from coal oil/coal gas because they didn’t have enough diamond for well bits.

They might even have used an inducted coal dust jet, rather than convert to liquid.

The body referred to above was obviously a high ranking Miners Union official, hence the burial atop 10” of coal.

Nope, but try this:

They especially don’t start building roads in caves, unless they’re headed for Agartha. ;’) I agree, there probably have been civilizations which have come and gone, but these “roads” aren’t really roads, they are literally footpaths in natural caves.

[BIGLOOK]

Don’t you find it interesting that the place the road was found was named Hoà Bình?

“Don’t you find it interesting that the place the road was found was named Hoà Bình?”

Saan bay must be the name of the back entrance to the cave.

Not so fast there.

[TigersEye]

Wellllll now. I guess they're going to be jealous with their pics.

First pic on the page.

Agree the ice man story comes to mind wonder how many more people have trucked over the alps.
