There are also artifacts, a large dock in western Africa for one, that may be from the same civilization, and it is possible that the first civilization in Mesopotamia, which came quickly from nothing to cities with agriculture, was founded by these people.

Oppenheimer suspects these people came from the east, possibly Sundaland. Apparently, there are many references about the wise men from the east too.

Thanks Blam. Here's something sort of related, from 2003, a dead Y link.

7,000-Year-Old Clay Found in Germany
August 25 2003

Workers digging on Monday for a new gas pipeline outside of Dresden came across the figure, which measures eight centimeters (three inches), said Judith Oexle, an archaeologist for the state of Saxony. The figure, which details a male body from the waist to the calves, is the first such representation of a man to be found in the area, believed to date from 5,000 B.C.

I just love the way they find new information and have to rewrite all their previous theories.

Whoops, missed ya.

There are now two concentric wooden palisades, each 2.5 metres high, as well as a ditch and an earthen wall.

Sounds like a fortification to me.

Sounds like a fortification to me.

It's where they ritually stored their dedicated god-water grain. The fire remains are where they purified it for presentation to the spirits of the fermentation vat.

The fortifications were to prevent defiling by keeping out raids by wild women bent on gathering feed for their large, sacred rats.

There it is. Scientific proof.

I was thinking it was where the people that migrated East to become the Arabs gathered to hump goats, but you really put me in my place.

Isn't this the place where Kwaanza originated????????

If you mean created by a white man, then yes.

"As Winter arrives this week" would have worked just as well, Druid-boy.

And a very Merry CHRISTmas to you.

(Do you ever post anything but anti-Christian bashings? I don't think I've ever seen you post anything else)

[InsureAmerica]

I'm perplexed. but it's been a long day.

The henge showed up as dark ridges in a wheat field in a 1991 aerial photograph of the site... A magnetometer survey confirmed the anomaly. Analysis shows that the southeast entrance to the henge marked the winter solstice and that the southwest gate was aligned to the summer solstice. Though some archaeologists question the intepretation, Biehl believes the site was a kind of solar observatory. (Courtesy LfA)

There's a very good article on this subject in the July/August edition of Archaeology magazine.

That's where the update came from. :')
