Ancient Civilizations

oooooh.
lets start this off. long ago. 12k years ago. a large SOMETHING struck the eath causing all the Megaflora and Megafauna to die off in a short period of time. also causing eruptions all over the planet. some geography was drastically altered to this day. the sahara went from a green jungle to a barren desert. civilizations were wiped out, the inhabitants, ones who saw the cataclysm coming buried their structures and took cover under ground. after the cataclysm. what wasnt killed. smaller and weaker people who survived with little food started to rebuild on the structures of their ancestors and started over again. modern scientists assign those very ancient pre cataclysmic structures to the people who took cover in them after the cataclysm. they were not the builders, even they admit as much in very early texts. they called those people "the gods".

we also have evidence that ancient people took advantage of the ice floes in the Pacific to travel between continents. there are also similarities in ancient civilizations that there was a shared knowledge between others. suggesting a global trade route. examples such as corn and cocaine in Egypt/Europe, similarities to other civs languages and structures.

the really big thing. 12k years ago is only the most recent global cataclysm. there have been such others which did the same thing 20k years ago and 30k years ago. the more we uncover, the earlier we realize that mankind has been doing its thing and getting reset over and over through human history.

at least 7000 years old. stupid cavemen building stone roads? yeah sure.

The remarkable find was made by a team of archaeologists from the University of Zadar during their exploration near the sunken Neolithic settlement of Soline on Korčula Island.


The road, consisting of meticulously arranged stone plates, measures four meters in width and is believed to have served as a vital link between the submerged prehistoric settlement of the Hvar culture and the coastal area of Korčula Island.


By conducting radiocarbon analysis on well-preserved wood fragments recovered during the recent expedition, experts estimate that the entire settlement was established around 4,900 BC.

A lot of stuff is missing either because it's underwater or was pillaged for building materials.

Wouldn't be surprised if there were a bunch of ancient Eygpt tier civilisations which we don't know much about because they didn't have an obsession with stone monuments and instead built in wood by the sea. We only know the river civilisations because they are the only ones not by the sea and underwater, living by the sea is actually more common for humans.

Before we get carried away though, tiered raised platforms in multiple civs is not evidence of international trade, it's the most basic way to build upwards and was most likely independently developed in each civ.

its not that big of a deal though. greek and roman culture is the same thing. just different names for stuff , but its the same people. Egypt was likely a mediterranean country far back in time too. they dont want to admit that so they never released King Tut's DNA to the public. but its pretty obvious why they havent. the Mediterraneans built ancient Egypt. someday they will admit it. they might as well because they got retards like Mrs Will Smith saying Egyptians were a bunch of negros who wuz kangz and sheeeeeit. mediterraneans dont have white guilt.
