Ya, who getsta define a city. Hodder didnt try. But Sass caculates that when agriculture came in, the amount of land needed to support a group shrank by a factor of 500. This allowed an unprecidented number of people. In the same era when Jericho was a village of a few hundred, the Anatolian cities...

I didn't know about the 2007 wood. Thanks for explaining that. And yes, if there is a city there it is almost certainly Harrapan given that the images matched very well with Harrapan architecture. So much younger than Hancock's claims.

Well, I hope everyone had a nice day. I'm just getting back in. As for the pre-Clovis debate, it's over for me. At the Topper site this spring, I was shown all the proof I need by one of the Archaeologists working there. Down on the Pleistocene terrace is an excavated hole 15 ft. deep. There - plai...

Not the foot prints Doug, no. If correct, what I read was one of the Meican archaeologists destroyed recovered artifacts. Possibly an urban myth? But what about this attitude? By George Weber from the net. Quote: Hueyatlaco was discovered and first excavated by Cynthia Irwin-Williams in 1960, with ...

Digit wrote:What debate Doug? When you get archaeologists destroying evidense, as suggested at Valsequillo, debate becomes a bit muted I would say!

Someone's tampered with the 'footprints'?

As I said, attempts to stifle discussion. It isn't funny and I don't appreciate it. It's much easier to say 'the club', or 'destroyed evidence', or 'my dog ate my homework' then to do the real research needed. The fact remains no matter what Minimalist says is that there have always been people argu...

Book Review of Underworld by Graham Hancock
by Duncan Edlin

Hancock still thinks that the answer is off the Indian coast....underwater! The underwater city in the Gulf of Cambay. We were just talking about the GHMB, and here is an example. This is an Indian geologist posting there. http://www.grahamhancock.com/forum/BadrinaryanB1.php?p=1 So, from the forego...

why create 'cities'? You don't set out to "create" a city. The city grows around the political establishment. The king and whatever bureaucracy is needed (and it always grows) plus his household guards. Then the merchants and nobles who want a city home to go with their country home becau...

C14 dating does have an upper end of usability around 50,000 years. That would be about 10 half-lives and the idea being that there really isn't going to be much radioactive C14 left after 10 bites at the apple. Still, The Club doesn't think that it has to go back to more than 11,500 BC in the New ...

And thank you, Forum Monk. I also find it difficult to keep up with discussions and I get an email copy of every post! When threads get long they also get hard to load, which I think is offputting. And subthreads get lost, which is why I at least sometimes start new threads on a new aspect of a disc...

This may sound surprising coming from me (for those who know me) but I am not ready to pass judgment on Cameron and Jacobovici just yet. We have glimpsed the evidence to be presented and we have certainly heard the opposition, but we have yet to hear their case in context instead of a collection of...

Thanks Doug. I don't believe that you'll find any disagreement with that post here. We have been having a small discussion about Jacobovici in the Oh Christ thread for a while now. Actually we've been watching his "Naked Archaeologist" series thanks to Min. The guy is a joke. Thanks. 8) A...
