| #3 I find it interesting when some archeologist takes a couple of pieces of pottery, a bead and some bone fragments and interpolate a whole society. Most of the time their assumptions reflect their biases more than anything else. Example: The noble South American Indian who would never do wholesale murder. And that was with recorded information by the Spanish that were ignored or discounted. BTW; was it the Black Sea that flooded about that time when the land bridge ruptured letting the Mediterranean in? |

| #2 Interestingly, the culture arose immediately after the catastrophic flooding of the Black Sea due to rising sea levels from climate change 5,000 years ago. |

| #1 There are an awful lot of hints around the world that organized people go back much further than previously thought. Unfortunately, anthropology is about as bad as "climate science" for being emotionally invested in their theories. And more than willing to bitterly attack opposing theories. To make matters worse, they also have a lot of kooks on their periphery, filled with fanciful tales based on scant evidence. This turns a lot of what they do into a running brawl, full of pettiness and bruised egos. |
