BBC News | SOUTH ASIA | Lost city 'could rewrite history': "The remains of what has been described as a huge lost city may force historians and archaeologists to radically reconsider their view of ancient human history.
Marine scientists say archaeological remains discovered 36 metres (120 feet) underwater in the Gulf of Cambay off the western coast of India could be over 9,000 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."
"Everything you know is wrong." Damn, not again. (even had the location of Atlantis wrong!!)
ReplyDeleteSea levels have been rising for thousands of eyars. I wonder how many other ancient cities might be out there?
ReplyDeleteAmazing.
I just noticed the story is dated Jan 2002 - why have we heard nothing more since?
ReplyDeleteWikipedia raises doubts.
ReplyDeleteOh well, I was excited about this. I do think there may be a lot of human history lost to the oceans - possibly including the earliest peopling of the Americas.
ReplyDeleteThe Ancient Sumerians--the oldest known civilization, dating from some 5500 years ago--came from "the water" in the earliest recorded history. Could they have come from this city??
