Even though these jokers didn’t give us even the courtesy of a date range, it is clear that this is something that hunter-gathers simply do not build. Same with Göbekli Tepe. I wonder when it is that Big Archaeology will finally admit that they have not given us the complete story, that recent discoveries have completely up, ended the previously accepted timeline of human history. It seems incredibly clear that there was some kind of an advanced civilization prior to the end of the last Ice Age, circa 11,600 years ago. At that point, there was some kind of a huge natural disaster (probably a hit from multiple pieces of a single comer), which dramatically accelerated the melting of the ice sheets in North America and Europe, destroying that advanced civilization. Maybe if Big Archeology would actually admit that their prior conclusions were wrong, because new evidence came to (not because they’re idiots), we could have a better understanding that these natural disasters can and do happen, and that we need to prepare, as a civilization, for whatever may come along next. We might have one day left before such an impact occurs again, or we may have 10,000 years, nobody knows. But we do need to prepare - and part of that preparation involves getting out to space as quickly as possible so that we can avoid having all of our eggs in one basket, and maybe even have a better chance to see something coming in our direction and actually do something about it.
Archaeology might seem like a very arcane subject, and it probably bores most people. But if we don’t know the truth about our history, if we cannot see patterns because prior events have been purposely hidden from us to protect the reputation of a very few people, then we will be unable as a civilization to take the proper measures. This could literally make the difference between civilization, surviving, or not.
Here’s the corrected version:
