Recently a landform called a chevron was noted on a Landsat 7 image of Madagascar. These chevrons may have been formed by a mega-tsunami produced 4,800 years ago by a meteorite or comet impact with the Indian Ocean.
GGG Ping.
Don't tell me the aboriginals lied to us to keep us from their 'sacred sites'? That's shocking!
“This is a great example of why solid archaeological research should be taken into account in the planning processes for future emergencies.
And what about the geologists, don't they get a bite at the cherry?
“Archaeology is a vital discipline for understanding the environmental and climate-change risks we face in Australia, as it shows how the continents' earlier inhabitants dealt with sudden and long-term changes to their environment.”
They were nomadic. They moved around a huge landscape. And besides, haven't you just proven there were no long-term changes they had to worry about?
The conference will also hear how early agriculture was sustained in drying landscapes.
How early? There was no agriculture on this continent until settlement just a few hundred years ago. All the 'evidence' you need can be found in government records and newspaper archives.
(I'm a bit cranky today.)
