This site is 12,000 years old, the most advanced strutures ever found.

Several video's on the link

If you want to couch this in terms of Biblical literalism, the discovery would represent an advanced, antediluvian structure from the Enochian era.

That there are problems with dating assumptions derived from the various methods of testing, that’s about all one could assume in holding such a belief; that it’s buried as it was doesn’t exactly undermine it.

Fascinating to contemplate such an advanced civilization 12,000 years ago and wonder where did it go? Who were they?

[Big Bronson]

Must have been some clever folks to be able to build a structure on the earth 6000 years before the earth was formed.

Hey, anything's possible...

“Do I think humans could have built Pum Punku before the advent of lasers?”

Lasers?

That certainly is some fine stonework.

I’ve seen many youtubes - History Channel - showing very unusual structures, very well built, under water. The ocean must have been quite a bit lower quite a few thousands of years ago. Tons of other things. History is very different from the generally accepted timeline.

[stockpirate]

Some of the monliths weigh as much as 80 tons

Is that Jesus riding a dinosaur? That is SO not biblical. I don’t know where to start!

[Martin Tell]

Since Christ is the creator of all things, the dino scene is in fact possible.

The painting is, however, impossibly tacky.

Those are sockets on the tops of the pillars - the thing had a roof or top stones like Stonehenge, and it was heavy but could slide off in an earthquake (& flood?) without some sort of ball and socket system. Also, they've confirmed that the whole site was deliberately buried to be preserved. So was the roof/tops taken off when it was buried? If so, where are those stones?

Great post, OP. Fascinating. At least 12,000 B.C., and how did they move such massively heavy stones, let along carve them so precisely?

[Big Bronson]

That is SO not biblical. I don’t know where to start!

Well, you're right, He was probably busy burying fossils shaped like dinosaurs for future paleontologists to discover at the time.

[Big Bronson]

The painting is, however, impossibly tacky.

I'm glad you agree that it is not tacky.

[Quix]

Thx.

Will check it out.

Saw a piece on this on television just the other night. What a fascinating find, and completely inexplicable by modern humans.

I think it’s become clear that the history of man on this planet is much, much longer than we know.

Gentlemen, the answer is obvious... Ancient astronauts;)

Let me take a wild guess:

They were building an early version of Fukushima, and they lost containment and buried it all in sand?

LOL

[Big Bronson]

So was[sic] the roof/tops taken off...

It is possible that there were no roofs. Or that they employed wood/organic materials which had rotted and fallen in at the time it was decided to bury the site at some much later date. Maybe the old site was deemed "evil" by later settlers.

[truthfreedom]

Yup. The ice age. When the ice age ended, the water level rose on the coasts a lot. 50 feet? 100 feet? 150 feet?

People live on the coasts now. All the ice age coasts are now underwater. There is likely a lot more undiscovered stuff underwater.
