      looking at this figure its actually very strange that the curve just levels out around 6000BC quite striking what was going on there also curious why sea levels have not changed in spite of climate so and so what the hell determines sea level. is it not just sea vs glacier?pic.twitter.com/esn31soozv

      this cool documentary (19:00) mentions a theory to explain why sumerian language was so different than it's sorrounding languages, bc they came escaping from a flood caused by the end of the glacial period that caused the persian gulf.

      All we know about human prehistory needs major revisions. The oldest known temple was recently uncovered at Göbeklitepe, SE Turkey. Nearby, at Karahantepe, an even older settlement is being excavated. It’s about 12,500 years old. It has obelisks but no pottery. First photos. https://twitter.com/arkeolojihaber/status/1441426286614822914 …

          Water levels at the Sea of Galilee in Israel dropped. There's now an archaeological site there with evidence of small-scale agriculture from 23,000 years ago. The anaerobic environment from the silt is good at preserving organic matter too! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohalo_II

          a genuine question, is there any known civilization or deep folk tradition other than perhaps in the 20th century West that didn’t / doesn’t believe in a before time?

          No one ever talks about how much more land there would have been around the Aleutian Islands when the sea level was 120m lower. Bering land bridge? Why bother, when you've got the Aleutian coastal bridge.

          I like some of his stuff but claiming off Gobekli Tepe that civilization "IS much older", not even "may be" was really absurd and disappointing - check this out https://www.researchgate.net/publication/259561913_So_Fair_a_House_Gobekli_Tepe_and_the_Identification_of_Temples_in_the_Pre-Pottery_Neolithic_of_the_Near_East … and I think you'll see a huge contrast in the quality of explanation of the real research
