Underwater Lost City Could Rewrite History
Uncategorized July 26th, 2007I am a big fan of the unknown. Paranormal, archeology, space, etc…anything we haven’t figured out yet in our time on this planet really interests me.
I just came across a story about a lost city discovered 120 feet underwater off the coast of India that dates to 9500 years old.
The vast city - which is five miles long and two miles wide - is believed to predate the oldest known remains in the subcontinent by more than 5,000 years.
This is huge.
I read a book by a guy they mention in the article - Graham Hancock. In it, he talks about how almost every culture has some ancient story about a flood. That includes the Bible, the Epic of Gilgamesh, Plato’s stories about Atlantis, and loads of other sources that my brain can’t remember right now. He seems to think these flood stories all came from when the last ice age ended, when melting glaciers suddenly flooded many parts of the world that were not under water at that time. Well, they say in this article that this city dates to around the same time as the end of the last ice age, and was most likely flooded at that time.
Edit: OK… I was just reading through the forum thread where I found this and someone pointed out that the date at the top of the article page is from 2002! I don’t know why this was brought up recently. There is a discussion here about it for anyone interested.
