Jerusalem, it appears, was a popular place even during prehistoric times.
Israeli archaeologists have uncovered a large concentration of stone utensils on the southeastern rim of the city which were used by prehistoric man hundreds of thousands of years ago, Israel's Antiquities Authority announced Tuesday.
The antiquities were uncovered during a routine archaeological supervision at a building site near Kibbutz Ramat Rachel.
A subsequent excavation carried out at the site in the wake of the find uncovered hundreds of such utensils, which archaeologists date to the Middle Paleolithic Period, some 50,000-200,000 years ago.
Among other things, this does put to rest the notion that there is no archaeological work going on within the city.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.
I've thought so often how neat it would be to take a look under the major cities of the world. They are generally located as to make it a very desirable community for ancient man.
The middle east, and Jerusalem in particular, is a tragic case of competing religions. People killing in the name of God is the most retarded hallmark of mankind.
The Levant is regarded by many people as the original melting pot of humankind, and so little of it is readily available for study.
True enough, but one has to give the Israelis credit here. As you can see from the article building sites are routinely scanned by archaeologists for artifacts which is about as much as can be done within the built up area of the city.

looks like an interesting article and it is nice to know that they scan for artifacts. but then that shuld be standard procedure in a country rich in history.
as for the dating, i am not in agreeance with it, and those things that they have found may have easily left by those from the pre-flood civilization.

Graham Hancock believes in a pre-Flood civilization...and his version actually makes a little sense.

Mr. Hancock does indeed have some ideas that are interesting, vaguely plausible, but not altogether correct. I enjoy his writings, but I do not totally agree with him. While it is possible that there was a forgotten civilization (civilizations rise and fall all of the time), there should be some concrete evidence somewhere. It may remain to be found, but for now, he comes across as a nut.
I tend to be more comfortable with people who think 'outside the box'. jh.

According to Hancocks' theory, the evidence lies offshore most continents - underwater
i would say that some of that evidence resides off shore but i doubt if all of it does.

that depends on those interpretating the evidence.

You know, you are going to feel very silly if that damn thing is uncovered and it has an inscription on it that says:
Property of Atlantis Department of Public Works.

Over the past twenty to thirty years archaeology has made incredible strides. Sites like Gobeklitepe are proving that human history is far more colourful, far more complex, and far more ancient than we had ever imagined. Archaeological
This seems like a ready made topic to post news about this site.
