Off Florida Coast, an 'Unprecedented' 7,000-Year-Old Burial Site Discovery
The Weather Channel ^ | March 29, 2018 | Sam Breslin

Researchers recently announced the discovery of human remains off the coast of Sarasota County, Florida. Radiocarbon testing of wood buried with the bones suggests the remains date back some 7,000 years. It's believed the remains were some of the first Native Americans to settle in Florida.

Just 300 feet off the coast of Manasota Key in Sarasota County, Florida, divers made a recent discovery that could unlock centuries of Florida's ancient history.

The find, called "unprecedented" by National Geographic, is a burial site that contains human remains dating back some 7,000 years. Originally believed to be a crime scene when first discovered, radiocarbon tests on some of the wood found buried with the bones confirmed the burial site was definitely not recent.

"There’s nothing else like this on the planet ... and it’s offshore Manasota Key," historian John McCarthy, executive director of Historic Spanish Point, told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.

I’m so old, I remember the news of a coming “ice age” in National Geographic magazines.

90 intact human brains that include the oldest DNA samples in the World.

That was in 2003. They have since taken DNA samples from Neanderthals, and they disappeared 27,000 years ago. In fact, they've taken 100s of DNA samples on far older remains.

It's amazing how far we've come in 15 years!

Yes, in the Gulf, you'll see the remains of their manufacturing plants and big SUVs... 😀

You might take a moment or two to read the various posts at this site:
https://theworldwideflood.com

Assuming that the material presented there is correct (seems that way to me), then geologists are responsible for our misunderstandings of Earth and human history.

“So, the ocean has risen 30 feet in 7000 years.”

Actually, it appears it rose 400 feet 10,000 years ago after the last ice age.

Did the oceans rise or is Florida sinking? HEY! I was just wondering if the plates bob up and down like a buoy?

You are correct:

Scientists Just Sequenced The DNA From A 400,000-Year-Old Early Human

Most amazing:

"October, 1999; 250-million-year-old bacteria were found in ancient sea salt beneath Carlsbad, New Mexico."

Nice, you have narrowed it down to 6018 years? Is there a plus or minus fudge factor in your numbers?

I’m thinking the yucatan peninsula used to hook into the gulf coast.

Bacteria's way older than that!

250 million years ago was the end of the Permian, and we had reptiles by that time.

Never mind. You said “LIVING”.

I’m not sure, but Helen Thomas was around that age when she passed, no?

Weeks, perhaps, but not years.

This is not new nor concealed knowledge.

Some (most I’d guess) just don’t want to know.

Really, the big thing that gets missed completely, is that Earth was approximately the center of creation, and as the word says, space and time were expanded away from its center.

From our perspective time has been short, but if one picks a distant location, one must take all of that expanded time into consideration.

We have no need to do so, since creation was totally about Earth, and the rest of the universe is there for Yehova’s purposes to make everything work.

Biblical years, actually, but the differences round out over long periods, since the Biblical year is agriculturally determined.
