Too many "experts" at the dig will ruin the relics...

Thanks, this kinda of ties in with the finds in that Japanese Island at the southern tip of their islands that is not far away from Taiwan. I can't think of the island's name.

Call me a skeptic on this one.

Underwater archaeologists yesterday announced the discovery of a man-made wall submerged under the waters of the Pescadores Islands that could be at least six and seven thousand years old.Let's see, six and seven thousand make thirteen thousand years, but I'm not sure whether the article means the Pescadores are 13,000 years old or the water is.

The underwater finds are part of a growing body of evidence suggesting the existence of civilizations older than anything previously imagined. There are probably a lot of reasons for this. I suspect one major reason has to do with the fact that archaelogy started in, and was focused on, the roots of western civilization, which pretty much means it took place in the neighborhood of the Mediterranean.

If it was flooded by one of the three major glacial lake outpourings, the sea level would have risen abruptly in a week or two. Not much time to lay sandbags.

No doubt a direct result of failing to ratify the Kyoto Treaty on greenhouse gas emissions.

How can a stone wall be accurately dated? There is likely no organic material in the wall to make Carbon 14 dating possible, and accumulation of coral or other sea water accumulations could vary greatly depending upon the amount of minerals or aquatic life in the area over the "eons" of time. While I don't believe the earth is only 6,000 years old, I am sceptical of claims of man's presence 15,000 years or more ago.
Of course I guess it is possible the divers may discover an ancient Palm Pilot in the wall whose clock is stopped at 10,000 B.C.

On this theory, entire cities ended up underwater after sea levels rose towards the end of the last Ice Age, a date cited by Plato as being some 9,600 years ago. Now why the hell would the author cite Plato, a Greek philosopher who shuffled off this mortal coil centuries B.C. as an authority on when the end of the Ice Age occured?

Steve Shieh, the head of the planning committee for the Taiwan Underwater Archaeology Institute, said the wall was discovered to the northwest of Tong-chi Island in the Pescadores towards the end of September. Where the hell is September? :^)

a man-made wall submerged under the waters of the Pescadores Islands that could be at least six and seven thousand years old = thirteen thousand years old, WOW!

So, is California trying to sue for building without a permit?
I guess this is Davis' way of covering the budget shortfall.

Sorry, I've been forgetting to ping you. No problem. :-)
Is this the Indian story you were referring to?
