[quote:Montblanc:MV8yNTIwNzUzXzQzNTkyMjU5XzQ0QjAyQUI2] I have often wondered on what, where and when did civilization really started. I mean is it not weird that it suddenly appeared in certain points of the globe with such complex development apparently out of nowhere? Take the flood myth which most westerners such as me have known mostly from the bible, it is spread throughout many cultures that give little to no credit to the bible. And since the 1980's to the present decade submarine ruins have been found in coastal areas which some have credited as being as old as 10000 years! Such is the case of the submerged Yonaguni ruins in Japan. Of course every time any such claim is made a scholar appears (:pennywise:) who redily says its bs. One of the doubts I have is related to cultural interchange between the old civilizations, in the East there are plenty sources that suggest/prove that the early chinese and indian valley cultures had contact with other unknown and known cultures.

I am starting this thread to provide an open minded discussion on a theme that fascinates me even more than space, for me it is the first frontier, the vast wall of darkness that is what we call Pre-History.
* If you happen to come across this thread and wish to add something to this discussion please do pin it, I will be sure post some interesting links soon, thank you.*
Perhaps it is due to the fact that it is hard to find any kind of consensus about anything that is older than Sumerian civilization much less any credible and definitive piece of literature about that long period of time. After all not only is it a much longer period than that of known history the sources for its study are relatively scarce.
But let us not despair about it. Though the lack of investment and interest on this most honouring, although hard to profit from, field of study has and is seriously hindering it's advancement when comparing to the most pragmatic fields of science little by little more materials arise from the shadow awaiting for our examination to shed light over the darkness of the past.
