Excellent article, it reminds me a lot of the work of Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson in that our official history may be 'built on pillars of sand'. Many ancient cultures consistently point to even older , and greater, civilizations that were all destroyed by cataclysm, such as Gunung Padang and Göbekli Tepe. On the geological side incresing evidence is pointing towards and immense and virtually instant catastrophe of the Younger Dryas.
I remain immensely optimistic that our view of human civilization is going to go much deeper into history and break from a purely, slow-and-steady progress view to a more realistic understanding of civilization rise-and-fall throughout history.
Thank you, much of the inspiration to write this story came from Hancock's work. I am inspired by archaeological revisionists and all people who have the will to open their mind to other possible ways of solving our questions of existence. Carl P. Munck's metrology research into megalithic monuments is some of the most interesting and might contain all the necessary data to break the paradigm.
I listened to this video of Hancock today, he is very compelling and the evidence is fascinating.
I hope your right, but old history is often hard to change..
What new geological evidence has come to light concerning the Younger Dryas?
