"Fire was invented by Bug IV during the Charcoal Age, approximately 9500 BC... hence the term fire-bug."
I've heard that a leftish Sheikh..I think the name is Sheikh Almed Bin Goresan..claimed that his ancestors had invented the boat and discovered all the world's ocean routes over 10,000 years ago!

SECRETS OF WORLD'S OLDEST BOAT ARE DISCOVERED IN KUWAIT SANDS.For Kuwait, stung by the recent suggestion by Saddam Husseins son, Uday, that cartographers should redraw maps to show the oil-rich emirate as no more that a province of greater Iraq, the discovery of its possible 7,000 year old heritage could not have come at a better time. Subiya Man is already being heralded as the first Kuwaiti, even though human remains have yet to be found in the sand.

The Subiya site in Kuwait yielded pieces of bitumen from 5,000BC, evidence of early boat building, while archaeoligists were unearthing a Neolithic human site

The model boat found at Subiya holds details of ancient construction methods

Or extremely afraid of drowning.

The fragment found in the Kuwaiti desert means the same thing as oceanic fossils showing up on mile-high mountains ... a universal flood. The fossils, maybe. A boat could have ridden in on a tidal wave.
