10,000 BC...Fascinating Discovery!
Last Update: October 08, 2011
More wonderment! Something to ponder...

The structures on this site were
built about 12,000 years ago (10,000 BC) and intentionally buried with
sand about 8,000 years ago. No one knows who these people were, what the
massive buildings were for, or why they were buried. Just for reference,
these massive structures were built during the last ice age and are more
than 7,000 years older than any other structure we have yet discovered on
our planet.

Thanks for posting, I had not heard of this discovery. Yet another discovery showing we don't know as much as we thought we did. With this and the discovery by CERN that neutrinos may be able to beat the universal speed limit (speed of light) we may end up rewriting all the text books in the next few years.

Would love to learn more about this civilization. Rocks a few boats, doesn't it?
