Lost civilisation from 7,500 BC discovered off Indian coast

Archaeologists have found a civilisation dating back to 7,500 BC off India's western coast.

The find is 5,000 years older than any previously unearthed civilisation in the subcontinent.

Researchers uncovered pottery, beads, sculptures, a fossilised jaw bone and human teeth at the Gulf of Cambay site.(DNA tests?)

Previously, the oldest known civilisations were the Harrapan and Indus Valley communities - which date from around 2,500BC.

Murli Manohar Joshi, minister for human resources and ocean development, told The Times of India: "The findings buried 40 metres below the sea reveal some sort of human civilisation, a courtyard, staircase, a bathroom or a temple."

Researchers used carbon-dating techniques. The find was made by the Indian ocean development and archaeology institutes.

I figure we’ll probably continue to find evidence of lost, off-shore civilizations.

People today are no smarter than your average human way back in the day. We are inclined toward civilization by our social drives.

And our current civilization is still young, and has managed to flourish in a period of relative geological stability. But what happened to our predecessors can also happen to us, and we have to advance our technology to the point where we can adapt to whatever our ever changing planet throws at us.

(Climate change is normal. Just ask the mammoths.)

“a bathroom or a temple”

If it was a good bathroom with a flush toilet and exhaust fan working in
7500 B.C., that would as good as a temple for me!

What’s that old saying...”any technology, sufficiently advanced, is magic.”

""The findings buried 40 metres below the sea reveal some sort of human civilisation, a courtyard, staircase, a bathroom or a temple.""

Hmmmm......bathroom, temple.....temple, bathroom.

Yeah, I make that mistake all the time, too.

Experts say submerged pottery may offer a clue.

That's not pottery, that's an SAP manual.

It is obvious that the Tigris and Euphrates Company outsourced the civilization project to India. This was forgotten because the Customer Service Department in India was almost completely unintelligible,

Are you quite sure? The "Paleolithic Railroad Tracks on Malta" story makes an appearance about this time of year, doesn't it?

The one I really miss is the "Human Footprint Found Next to Dinosaur Track in Texas Creekbed" story.

Yes. This article was posted on 1-16-2001.

I don't do that one. This may interest you though:
