This is the same “city” they keep rediscovering every 5 years.

Because that is an enormous site at a time when the human race supposedly numbered less than a million.

Hmm, likely the next group the Democrats want to let vote. Little green men. I bet they have little green LGBFT, too.

Since we can't communicate with them, they will have to telepath their votes directly to the DNC. Perfect!

Then why not give the size in miles, since this is an American site?

Euro-trash metric units are un-American.

That’s the same thing I’ve been thinking of for some time.

Ofcourse it will.

Edison didn't invent the light bulb either.

(Also, did you notice the endorsement (Calico Site) from Louis Leaky)

No I did not notice as I went for the original article, but the site no longer exists or that article is no longer there. Sorry about the confusion.

maybe it was an airport or another Cape Canaveral. I’m sure they will find a subway under it.

This is back again. It's like a once a decade scam. These structures are only a couple of hundred years old.

I too am suspicious of the chronology, and just as suspicious of what evidence the find contains for the description of the inhabitants as comprising a “very advanced civilization”.

The stone works do not appear very advanced if compared to some ancient locations found in different places around the world - where massive (multi-ton) stones have been placed together in exacting precision, constructing massive edifices.

And the ankh symbol itself has been found around the world.

That is not strange when you acknowledge many same symbols have been found to have been in use in different civilizations, which can just as easily suggest something common in human thinking and perception (how we translate ideas to images) as opposed to a universal prior common civilization.

"No I did not notice as I went for the original article, but the site no longer exists or that article is no longer there. Sorry about the confusion."

Calico Early Man Site

" In 1963, Leakey obtained funds from the National Geographic Society and commenced archaeological excavations with Simpson. Excavations in an area stratigraphically separate from a verified 10,000-year-old Paleoindian site were carried out by Leakey and Simpson, who believed that they had located stone artifacts that were dated 100,000 years or older, suggesting a human presence in North America much earlier than estimated.[9] "

I think Leaky later said (something like) I may be wrong.

Bullshit.

Somebody is fabricating evidence to show Black African “civilization” predates all other civilization, and agriculture, by more than 100,000 years.

“But a remnant of The Atlantian culture.
The antediluvian kings colonised the world
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from far Atlantis.

Knowing her fate,
Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.
On board were the Twelve:

The poet, the physician, The farmer, the scientist,
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends.
Though Gods they were -
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind”
