@El Correcto Have you heard of Gobekli Tepe? A huge temple complex being unearthed in Turkey. The interesting thing is it's much older than anything ever found elsewhere. And built with technology that the hunter gatherers of the area didn't have. Ever hear of the Younger Dryas? A warming period that ended the Ice Age only to see a new ice age suddenly spring up. Recently under the Greenland ice sheet two huge comet or meteor impact sites have been discovered that struck about the time that new ice age sprung up. The Gobekli Tepe complex dates to around the time between the ice ages. Very possibly an advanced civilization that was destroyed by comet or meteor strikes on Earth that crushed them. More evidence of that era are the huge floods that carved up North America and left the Great Lakes. Anyways after that second ice age we don't see civilization until thousands of years later. One of the those earliest civilizations was Sumeria. The father of Judaism, Abraham, lived in the Sumerian city of Ur before eventually leaving. Strangely enough many of the stories of the Old Testament are similar if not identical to Sumerian mythology. Sumeria's greatest hero, Gilgamesh, for example survived a great flood similar to Noah. What I'm trying to convey is there's a lot we don't know about the history of mankind. But people are piecing together a good deal of it.

It’s not so much that I have “faith”. Scientist have a collection of observations that hey one day could be proved wrong, but that is what the observations and evidence they collected has show.
This isn’t a “faith” it is the best theory regarding actual evidence and in some cases like evolution straight up proof through many different fields of science.

Its still called a theory for a reason. You do know what "hypothesis" means? Educated guess.

Interesting and it is fine to form a hypothesis around it but not a theory..

Yes I agree, now watch you cartoons and learn why.

I've seen similar before.

We can all use refreshers from time to time.

Then crack open your Bible lol.

No thanks, think I’ll stick to non fiction for now.

I don’t know about you guys…..

 

[El Correcto]

I’ll tell you what though, religious horror movies are by far the scariest. I really do enjoy the mythology of ancient peoples, fun stuff, but not science or real world stuff.

I can’t root for the devil or the Catholics in these movies I’m just like please let them kill each other.

Atheism is not a religion, it is religious thought though.

Secular Humanism is. Aren’t they kinda related?

No, There Wasn't an Advanced Civilization 12,000 Years Ago

Did an advanced civilization disappear more than 12,000 years ago?

Seems like more god of the gaps non sense to me honestly.
Oh look something science isn’t sure about yet, let’s insert god there says the religious demagogue.

The archeology community is trying to say that the hunter gatherers in the area were responsible for moving stones weighing as much as 50 tons as well as had the wherewithal to cut those stones. Also made the elaborate carvings. By the way the impact craters found in Greenland were discovered after this article was written and ice core samples confirmed the approximate date of impact. Graham Hancock has been vindicated.

I posted a link after taking time to look it up, maybe provide your link?
Remember last time the whole Noah’s ark debacle with that QAnoner that used to hang out here and left after January 6th, ran a YouTube channel and even named one of his videos after me?
There is nothing new about this nonsense, religious people do it all the time. This doesn’t seem as egregiously stupid as the Noah’s ark in the mountains of Turkey, but I would like to see it if you got time to find where you learned this from so I can check it out for myself and have an honest attempt at picking it apart and showing you where I think they are wrong.

 

[El Correcto]

By finding where I think it is wrong I mean cross checking it with other sources. I’ve always found ancient aliens and all that other nonsense incredibly stupid.

Geez I've watched tons of video and read numerous websites. Didn't know I had to write it all down. But fact is those Greenland impact sites were found after the article you posted was written. By scientists studying the Greenland ice cap. They were taking core samples and were pulling up samples consistent with minerals found in meteor craters. There's a new technology they used that allows them to "see" under the ice and they discovered two huge impact sites. A comet estimated to be 100 miles wide broke up and struck there as well as a number of other places including in what is now Syria. This isn't about my religious beliefs. Just trying to keep up with the latest discoveries. Did you know there are large cities recently discovered in the Amazon that are covered by jungle? Theory is they suffered the same fate as Native Americans did in North America when the white man arrived and brought disease they had no natural immunity to.

Oh I thought this had something to do with the thread. Not just random discoveries.
Yeah I didn’t know anything about this, it is interesting. But if people start trying to put aliens or god into it I kind go meh, not interested until you prove that wild speculation.
