(Glaciers make amazingly good dams, right up to the point where they start to float and fail catastrophicly.) The best studied examples are the Missoula Floods that put most of Northern Idaho, Oregon, and Washington underwater, but the area between the Black and Caspian seas was extremely hard hit. I believe most of mesopotamia, armenia, etc caught it too.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12822511906907583597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-58499517510629924902021-02-24T19:27:22.958-06:002021-02-24T19:27:22.958-06:00"I can't help wondering how prehistoric h..."I can't help wondering how prehistoric humans - if they were actually human by that stage; opinions differ - would have experienced that."<br /><br />To borrow again from Douglas Adams, they would likely have at least been "mostly human."<br /><br />;-)AuricTech Shipyardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03927256827579418519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-53438293201887398982021-02-24T17:48:32.258-06:002021-02-24T17:48:32.258-06:00"Oh no, not again.""Oh no, not again."Steve Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09281269716599122437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-31749843820356817242021-02-24T15:15:44.511-06:002021-02-24T15:15:44.511-06:00A few thoughts: look up Van Danikan, the cave bu...A few thoughts: look up Van Danikan, the cave burials in the Mid East. Pretty well determine that Neanderthal a hundred thousand years ago were human, current polar shift has been going on for an eye blink compared to 800 years, many current scientists are now saying a magnet anomaly over the south Atlantic is the probable cause of an ozone hole, and I read articles in one of the journals decades ago that were tracking magnetic shifts in ancient hearths in the American South West.

Can you look at what's coming out of Democrats and their fellow Leftist travelers today and claim we're <i>NOT</i> still basing everything on "superstition and mythology"? If you've spoken to any young people currently enrolled in what passes for "school" these days, or worse, their teachers and professors, we're still at the "viewing random shapes and lights in the sky with wonderment" stage. <br /><br />Sheesh.

Perhaps only temporarily, but we've already deposited a thin layer of soot in sediments. This geological record, including the specific radiocarbon isotope "fingerprint" to distinguish it from, say, forest fires will be readable eons from now, long after our cities have crumbled and their remains subducted by tectonic motion.<br /><br />No technological civilization – human, dinosaur or trilobite – existed on Earth before ours, or they would have left telltale signs. We are the first, and so far, only one.froginblenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01534104165268993436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-59838122179730047482021-02-24T12:15:18.162-06:002021-02-24T12:15:18.162-06:00Hmmmm...

If that's the case, those men of a 100,000 years ago were just as capable as us to create an advanced civilization. Perhaps the <br />Laschamps Excursion of 42,000 years ago wiped that civilization out.
