A group of scientists and archeologists from Canakkale (Dardanelles) University have found traces of a lost city, older than famed Troy, now buried under the waters of Dardanelles strait.
Led by associate professor Rustem Aslan, the archeology team made a surface survey in the vicinity of Erenkoy, Canakkale on the shore. The team has found ceramics and pottery, what led them to ponder a mound could be nearby. A research on the found pottery showed that the items belonged to an 7000 years old ancient city. The team has intensified the research and discovered first signs of the lost city under the waters of Dardanalles Strait.
The lost city lies in the sea floor in the Aegean entrance of the strait on the shores of Europen side. The professor told "the pottery indicates the city is from around 5000 BC. We believe the civilizations on the shores of Dardanelles and Bosphorus straits had been buried under water. This latest mound discovered is also 90% under water and gives significant hints on the sea levels then."

Your first line. Yes. That’s why if the earth ever gets something that tilts its axis rather violently all that momentum is going to cause catastrophic flooding.
Obviously the city of Turducken.
Lost cuz it was hidden in a duck.....
In the seventeenth century Archbishop James Ussher of the Church of Ireland calculated that the earth was created on October 23 4004 BC at 9 AM--and we must assume that it was Pacific Daylight Time. In 1972, my geology class at Occidental College met at 9 AM on October 23, so the Geology Department held a surprise party in the classroom to celebrate Earth's birthday. Our professor, the noted glaciologist Joe Birman, apparently was taken by surprise, but he gave an impromptu speech celebrating the occasion. The event made the evening news on the local television stations.
Cheers!
So what are your thoughts on Copernicus and Galileo?
They are both dead........still
Were those two males married?
(I mean “weren’t”, and I meant to each other?)
:’) So that’s what was the mallard.
Not only dead, but they might have been wrong! Read this morning’s WSJ on how Saint Albert Einstein might have been after all dead wrong in his relativity!
Thanks. I saw that. Interesting places, this world.
Too bad we can’t all get along and enjoy all of it.
Great Post as usual Sunkenciv.
I will be celebrating my 7th anniversary of quitting nicotiana tabacum on October 4th. What a coincidence!
Very interesting find.
You speak as if you have secret knowledge.
There is evidence of very thick salt deposits on the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. When the Ice Age ended the water was probably much evaporated, and only when the ocean level was as high as the bottom of the Straits of Gibralter did it start to refill. There may have been times as the level became higher and the bottom more eroded that the ocean rushed it with a great flood.
The problem for human beans in this cycle is that there weren't any 7 myr ago, and 8 tyr ago no one seems to have had writing.
The Med dried up a number of times — most recently about 5 million years ago. It was filled approximately as we see it today when the Black Sea got connected to the rest of the seas, approximately 7500 years ago.
I quite agree CTP. That’s where all the action has been for most of the last 2 million years or so, during the come-and-go ice ages.
Thanks fatez.
