Recent discoveries suggest a crucial cluster of biological & cultural innovations, probably in the millennia around 20,000 BP, and roughly in the southeast Asian region between the Yangtze and Mekong rivers. Among these were domestic dogs, vermin rats, and pottery.

Do you think it's possible that these coastal civilizations that were likely wiped out by the sea level rise were crossing certain oceans? It might explain the America's Viracocha and quetzalcoatl civilisation bringers who came from across the sea.

There’s a cool doc called Maidentrip about a 14-year old Dutch girl who sailed around the world solo in a 38-foot ketch. After watching it I lost all doubt that global sailing has been ongoing for tens of thousands of years. Homo sapiens go back 200k years. 8,000 generations.

Doesn’t require advanced civilization, just more advanced than the linear history we largely accepted based on scant evidence. I think uncertainty is a better position than steadfast belief they’ve got it all sorted by now.

Same, Graham is a “what if” guy, I view him at that level of skepticism. But Gobekli Tepe is confirmed 11,000 years old, that pushed the clock way back from consensus history’s take. If there’s older, I’ll believe it when they find it.
