Recorded history? OHHHsss NooooozzzZZzz..
considering the Erf is many many years older than that..
How did it ever survive its creation and all of its vicious previous cycles of atmospheric chaos and tectonic machinations?
Recorded history can be deceptive, ‘observed’ is not always ‘recognized’ .. nor is an impugned ‘truth’ a sure thing.
A lot of this ‘recorded’ history involved a few thermometers covering continental landmasses and buckets dipped in water in the middle of an ocean
