PinGGG!......................
Flood?
I think I read something about that...
“He proposes that a dramatic climate shift triggered widespread floods capable of wiping out entire civilizations.”
I guess it was all their coal fired power plants and gas guzzling SUVs that caused it. Their leaders should have just raised taxes and they’d still be around.
Noah might have some insight to this.
Still waiting for an Ancient SUV to be dug up.................
Huh.
What I cannot understand why, if such civilizations existed, evidence of advanced metallurgy has not been found, advanced alloys and metals and other evidence of advanced technology. Why only stone work and elementary ceramics?
Also I wonder why so many ancient sites are deep under the oceans and why in some, Göbekli Tepe e.g., include extensive underground networks and, apparently, dwelling places. Why were these people underground? Were they seeking refuge there?
“mysterious”? Geesh. We’ve known about the flood at the end of the last ice age for years. You just now connected the dots on that? That is how Doggerland in the (now) North Sea went under.
Bookmark.
No assertions or statements on the dating of objects below the sediment layer.
Conjecture.
It will have to be a Toyota, they last longer.
Only one.
And Noah built according to Gods instructions and was saved from the flood.
Nah.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuruppak
[snip] The earliest excavated levels at Shuruppak date to the Jemdet Nasr period about 3000 BC. Several objects made of arsenical copper were found in Shuruppak/Fara dating to the Jemdet Nasr period (c. 2900 BC). Similar objects were also found at Tepe Gawra (levels XII-VIII). [/snip]

[snip] Ubara-Tutu is recorded in most extant copies of the Sumerian King List as being the final king of Sumer prior to the deluge. Ubara-tutu is briefly mentioned in tablet XI of the Epic of Gilgamesh, where he is identified as the father of Utnapishtim, a character who is instructed by the god Ea to build a boat in order to survive the coming flood.[4] Grouped with the other cuneiform tablets from Abu Salabikh, the Instructions date to the early third millennium BCE, being among the oldest surviving literature.

Unusual, weird, outer serpentine walls.
Thanks RB. Imagine that, ancient riverine civilizations had floods. Whoa.
Arsenical copper would seem to indicate a precise knowledge of metallurgy.............
As long as they had some spare water pumps handy (no vehicle is perfect).
They didn’t have TV. Also, copper is generally found with arsenic in it.

Nice arsenical copper bust from Mesopotamia:
