Need to know boart consensus on Graham Hancock and ANCIENT CIVS
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 7th, 2017 2:42 PM Author: kink-friendly turdskin Just listened to the Joe Rogan podcast with Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson talking about ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS. Shit like Göbekli Tepe blows my mind:
Through the radiocarbon method, the end of Layer III can be fixed at about 9000 BCE (see above) but it is believed that the elevated location may have functioned as a spiritual center by 11,000 BCE or even earlier, essentially at the very end of the Pleistocene.
The surviving structures, then, not only predate pottery, metallurgy, and the invention of writing or the wheel, they were built before the so-called Neolithic Revolution, i.e., the beginning of agriculture and animal husbandry around 9000 BCE. But the construction of Göbekli Tepe implies organization of an advanced order not hitherto associated with Paleolithic, PPNA, or PPNB societies. Archaeologists estimate that up to 500 persons were required to extract the heavy pillars from local quarries and move them 100–500 meters (330–1,640 ft) to the site.[29] The pillars weigh 10–20 metric tons (10–20 long tons; 11–22 short tons), with one still in the quarry weighing 50 tons.[30]
Going to cop Graham's "Fingerprints of the Gods" and "Magicians of the Gods," and really get into this shit. |

Date: January 7th, 2017 2:51 PM Author: kink-friendly turdskin Have you listened to his conversation with Rogan? He basically admits that most "serious" archaeologists think he's a joke, but more and more evidence has been discovered that reinforces the ideas he laid out in Fingerprints way back in 1995.

Date: January 7th, 2017 2:53 PM Author: glassy aggressive library goal in life I find pretty fascinating the argument that there were likely fairly advanced civilizations during the last global ice age, but we have no evidence of them because their prior habitats are now underwater. Below is a pic of the coastlines at the glacial maximum:

Humans habitate close to water sources - the oceans or rivers. If there were villages or cities during that time where one would expect them (i.e., within a few miles of the water source), the sites are now underwater.

Date: January 7th, 2017 3:00 PM Author: kink-friendly turdskin This was absolutely one of the more powerful points they made, I think. Archaeologists look at sites on our current land masses and say "welp there's no evidence that humans had any signs of real civilization prior to 1,200 years or so, therefore it doesn't exist." But they don't take into account that, as you said, most if not all ancient settlements would be in places that are now submerged, and marine archaeology is basically non-existent at this point.
