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.
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.
And Noah built according to Gods instructions and was saved from the flood.
Nah.

[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.
Kind of legitimizes the Gap Theory.
This is a misleading headline. They found evidence of a flood, not a civilization.
I Noah a guy who may have some insight on this....
But the insurance companies said it was all wind damage so it’s good.
There is a TV show that plays on the History Channel called “Ancient Aliens”.
The people who appear as hosts of the show and the guests they have take the theoretical position that many things that archeology has found that appear to more advanced than possible in the civilizations said to have made them are things either made by “ancient aliens” or using technology “ancient aliens” gave or left them.
Where I contend that long before the last ICE age and leading up to the Biblical time of Noah, that there were advanced human civilizations around the world, more advanced than what modern archeology notes as the “ancient” civilizations it claims to have discovered.
I believe that contention is simply not noted in the Bible specifically because as far the human history remarks in the old testament are Middle Eastern in origin and have little to say about people and places beyond the Middle East - because they were not known to the ancestors or descendants of Abraham (born in what is known now as Iraq).
P
…” Only a small number of human skeletons have been recovered from the lower layer, leading Schmidt to speculate that people may have fled before the flood reached the city “ …
Apparently a bit more advanced than some of our contemporaries
This sounds like the research work of Immanual Velikovsky.
Ages in Chaos is a book by the author Immanuel Velikovsky, first published by Doubleday in 1952, which put forward a major revision of the history of the Ancient Near East, claiming that the histories of Ancient Egypt and the Israelites are five centuries out of step.
A flood? I wonder where that came from?
