Howdy TIJ

Still pushing the creationism I see. I believe if you go to the thread itself you can find the information you want.

The thread

Then you can refuse to believe it !

Based on the dates they obtained they probably used thermoluminescence or magnetic dating....ah found it and added the dating.

The 6-m-deep Wonderwerk Cave deposit has 9 levels or groupings of strata – Major Units

(MUs) – which we numbered from the surface downwards, that is, from the youngest level,

MU1, to the deepest and oldest one, MU9. Each MU’s special characteristics depicted part of

the story of what was going on at that time in prehistory.

MU 1: Artifacts from this unit indicated a series of San-linked stone cultures, which radiocarbon dating results placed at 900–2 000 and 2 000–11 500 years ago, respectively, followed by sporadic Khoi herder visits.

MU2: This level – the second level down – contained traditional Middle Stone Age material, defined by the absence of handaxes and the presence of pointed tools (that is, ‘convergent points’). Uranium-series readings dated these artifacts at dates ranging between 70 000 and
more than 220 000 years ago.

MU3: The upper reaches of this unit produced late Fauresmith artifacts, including convergent
points and crude handaxes, with uranium-series dates of 276 000–286 000 years ago.

MU4: This level contained classic Fauresmith specimens, comprising still earlier convergent points, and small handaxes, which uranium-series and other evidence placed at circa 500 000 years ago.

MU5-8: The number of artifacts from these levels was too small for purposes of classification, but those from MU7, with a palaeomagnetic age of 780 000 years ago, are best ascribed to a time late in the Earlier Stone Age.

MU9: Palaeomagnetic results show that the upper reaches of this unit date to at least 990 000 years ago, below which, ranging down to bedrock, are a few stone flakes, indicating human occupation, even at that early time.

I'm lets say we found something out and it pretty much was the the complete opposite of everything we know and its found to be the truth; do you think they info would unleashed upon everyone or would it be hidden info that only a few know.

Much like the saying the Victor rights the history.

It would be releashed-scientists tend to spread information around and keeping secrets in archaeology is like trying to keep military secrets - they don't. Unless it was found in a very restricted country like North Korea. However I cannot imagine what the North Koreans would possibly want to hide.

'The victor', yes that little cliche gets thrown around alot - however in archaeology the 'victor' is usually long dead. So I don't get the point.

Considering science has demolished the hold of religion on so many areas I suspect that "they' are doing an incredibly poor job.

Unleashed. Definitely unleashed.

Like the theory that the end of the last ice age was accompanied by a meteor exploding in the air over the North American continent. That one's counter to what was thought before, and there's a real brawl going on over the evidence. But nobody's kept it secret, and in fact they're scrambling to test things and find out which is really right.

In science, you get points for finding a truth (like plate tectonics or the meteor that ended the age of the dinosaurs) -- and even more respect if it's something previously thought impossible but is proven to be correct. One other reason for publishing it is that often other teams are working on the same material. If you don't publish and your rivals in (say) China or Russia do, then your country looks like it's turning into a scientific backwoods.

I'm referring to all those that like to stand on a soap box and say, "this is the way things are and the way things are always going to be". Galileo complex. We are constantly discovering new and interesting reasons to validate the fact that we really have no real clue about anything; that our observations and assumptions about our own history are merely that and are only as good as the next find. Personally, I love that we are constantly proving ourselves wrong, but you can understand how this might just make one of those professors you are talking about look fairly foolish, if the theory their entire career is based upon is suddenly and inarguably debunked. That's what I meant.

Yep things are moving along nicely. Just in my time I've seen large movements in our knowledge level.

I think you might be buying into a myth, in the Archaeological field I cannot think of anyone who built their careers on single theory. When new evidence comes in that evidence get incorporated rather quickly (in an academic sense).

Hmmm Byrd can you think of any example of this? I cannot think of one but has this happened?

It would have to be something where someone has stated that something couldn't exist or didn't exist or x is right and y is wrong.

Clovis pre-clovis might be an example but that battle is still going on but the Clovis first seem to be losing.

I'm thinking of the Japanese professor who went with the theory that Yonaguni was artifical and x years old. That hasn't come to be accepted but I noticed he publishes stuff on other matters.

Some interesting speculation, especially about the birdmen, feathers and wings. Thanks for the link.

Many scientist say that groves on the Sphinx could have only been caused by many many years of rainfall.


Hans: And just as many - and probably more don't agree with that analysis and point to other possibilities


Last time there was enough rainfall to cause those grooves were around 10,000 BC.


Hans: Not quite that long ago, around 5,500-6,500 BC the Sahara began to dry out and neolithic hunter-gatherers and nomadic herders began to move out of the region, the 10,000 date comes up alot as it an important fringe belief date.


I've also heard a few scientists saying that our history just doesnt add up.


Hans: I believe if you check you'll find those, 'scientists' are mainly fringe writers.


That as a species we are suffering from amnesia about our past.


Hans: Yet another meme created by fringe writers


Who's to say how long we have been around for sure and what level of technology we had.


Hans: Well we could look at the evidence we have and make some informed and evidenced hypothesis - or heck we could just make up some stuff and believe it....your choice.


IF today 95% of the population died what would the world look like 10,000 years from now?


Probably much like today's world except being an archaeologist would be a wild ride as you'd have sites galore and chock full of all kinds of cool stuff.

As noted above we are going off topic so if you can turn this into something about Gobeki Tepe...that would be good.


Not really off topic but even if it was you found time to critique every single sentence of an "off topic" post. Just because some scientists believe something contrary from the "norm" doesnt make it false. call it fringe or whatever you want.
I really love when we find these kinds of things. Its really exciting to think what else is out there just waiting for us. I would like to know if they have found any hunters weapons at the site.

Yeah, it's kinda creepy to me about the annunaki relations too. Another site pertaining to the same region, but not necessarily Gobekli Tepe talks about Eden and sounds true to me:www.ramsdale.org...

When you get into bible stuff you can go to speculation fantasy land. Few facts and lots of materials to build all kinds of theories.

I think theories on these subjects are like theories of where Atlantis might lie, endless.

Did you even read it? It's pretty specific. And it's not based solely on the bible either, mainly yes, but not solely. And it's not biased, it actually takes literally what is meant to be taken literally. If you want to read it and point out anything that is just speculation, please do. I have done some research on Eden and everything that I have found was the same as that of David Rohl (archaeologist of the website). I understand if you're not interested, but please don't dismiss it just because you assumed it was christian fundie propoganda, it's not.

Yes I did, until I got to the Noah's Ark bit

So is the story of Noah real?

Is Eden real?


The Mayan calendar - they were exceptional record-keepers - fixes the date for their great deluge at 3,113 BC.


Oh it does? That would be news to the Mayan...but then if the bible is correct they would have all died.........so who recorded it?

You might wish to look at a thread I did to show what was happening at that time in the world

What was happening around 3113 BC

Here is a part of it



3114 BC Mayan fourth age begins based on their calendar

31st Century BC

c. 3100 BC — Narmer (Menes) unifies Upper and Lower Egypt into one country; he rules this new country from Memphis. He managed to do this just 14 years after the world was destroyed!

c. 3100 BC — Narmer, pharaoh, rules (other dates are 3150 BC–3125 BC).

c. 3100 BC — Predynastic period (Neolithic) ends in Ancient Egypt (other date is 3150 BC).

c. 3100 BC — Early Dynastic (Archaic) period starts in Ancient Egypt (other date is 3150 BC).

c. 3100 BC — First stage in the construction of Stonehenge.[citation needed])

c. 3100 BC – 2600 BC — Skara Brae, Orkney Islands, Scotland is inhabited. Discovered 1850.[citation needed])

c. 3100 BC — Anu Ziggurat and White Temple in Uruk, Mesopotamia (modern Warka, Iraq) are built.

c. 3100 BC — Humans develop a writing system, cuneiform script.


I should point out that this is the time of the Uruk Period in Sumerian history - needless to say they are not aware of the world being destroyed on that specific day.

Actually, the bible may appear to support some "fantastic" things, but if people would read the original languages that these works were written in, they would find the concepts are normal everyday concepts dealing with family, life, deadly actions to guard yourself against and the like, they might even discover that Gods name means "self existent". Now that would debunk some religion ehh?

Peace

Yes, Noah from Noakh means "Rest". You will find his "ARK" at the giza complex. It's a memorial of sorts. God (self existent) found "Rest" perfect in all HIS Generations or Genesis. I know I find rest pretty righteous don't you?
The pyramids seem to be a real "Tower of Confusion".

Garden of Eden. Sure does exist. I can prove it to you. Eden is from Aw-dan' and means "to be soft or pleasent, figuratively and reflexively, to live voluptuosly - To delight Self".

You my friend are in the Garden of Aw-dan' right now. If you read Genesis, you will see that it says at the end of the creation account that was the "geneological annuals of ALL of the Hosts of Heaven in the day they were made". The complete account of All is done by Gen 1:31.

Someday you'll take rest in an dbt too. We all will. We find it pleasing...

Peace
