Personally, I believe the continental shelves were all dry land before the biblical flood, caused by a close orbit contact with another planet and its ice moon, which became our polar ice caps - and rain everywhere else.

Go ahead, laugh it up, fuzzball!

I know for a fact that Costa Ricans are very proud of their stone balls. No one knows who made them, or what they were for, but they did leave them all over the place. You’ll find them in museums, of course, and on rich people’s lawns.

“The discovery was particularly astonishing to scientists as the area predates all other finds in the area by at least 5,000 years, suggesting a much longer history of the civilization than was first assumed (carbon dating estimates the site to be almost 10,000 years old).”

More of an argument why not to rely on carbon dating alone than anything else. The ruins are simply not consistent with being that much older than nearby historical ruins that we can date more reliably. There would have been several intervening invasions and cultural shifts if that were true, but that simply isn’t evident when you compare the ruins.

Before the current re-writing of history, how much did we know?

Let’s take for a moment, the fantastic world written about by Robert E. Howard. Snow-covered mountainous clan life to desert caravans, across steppes to large city-states, even references to ‘old Khitai’.

Some would say, “Oh, that’s just the overactive imagination of a recluse in the wastelands of Texas.”

For a man who stayed home with a sickly mother, and never strayed far from home, to have all that come from within him, without one iota of information of the outside world, is for me, a very large stretch.

Now today, there is talk, though never truly revealed, that under all the ice, in all the places of the world, lies buried ancient cities. Why are they not discussed? Who are they protecting?

These 10 mysterious places do engage the mind, yes.

“From the times when the oceans drank Atlantis ...”

“discovered in the Diquis Delta of Costa Rica”

I’m thinking the stones are currency, and they found the central bank.

Okay, never mind.

There is a bunch of ancient evidence that humanity was flourishing before Egypt. The problem is that when stuff comes back 40-50,000 years it doesn’t fit the current paradigm of archeologists.

Man has been around for a long time. Through floods, cataclysms, and war.

If we accept stuff as it is, rather than fitting it into a narrow range of acceptable pigeon holes, we might be thrilled with what we find.

Giant Stone Spheres of Costa Rica...are one of the strangest mysteries in archaeology discovered in the Diquis Delta of Costa Rica. Since the 1930s, hundreds of stone balls have been documented, ranging in size from a few centimetres to over 2 metres (6.6 ft) in diameter... Almost all of the balls are made of granodiorite, a hard, igneous stone that outcrops in the foothills of the nearby Talamanca range.

The centimeter-small stones are nicknamed "McConnell". The 2 meter ones are called "Hillary".
