Tepe is likely one of the first 'temples/observatories'.
I think that the city we think of a Jericho is not that old, but the location was used intermittently beforehand because it sits at a good location for agriculture.
Oh definitely.
I think we have gone on a derail but this is a very interesting topic for another thread.I think that the city we think of a Jericho is not that old, but the location was used intermittently beforehand because it sits at a good location for agriculture.
I expect one of those gaps in habitation they mention in the Nature paper is from the airburst that hit the area.
Another interesting 11000 year old site, on the other side of the world, is this one:
Tenderfoot Archaeological Site | History Colorado
Tenderfoot Archaeological Site - Located within the Upper Gunnison Basin, this multi-component prehistoric site has the potential to yield important information related to site function, chronology and seasonality of use, and subsistence and settlement patterns.www.historycolorado.org
There's a reason the Ute have no migration myth; they never left their home range and this was probably one of their most significant 'settlements', though it was not used much once Europeans arrived and horse+guns changed hunting dynamics.
Oh definitely.
I think before the last Ice Age humans might have been more advanced than we thought, and a lot of the evidence of it has simply been lost to natural processes and sea level rise.
The whole Atlantis tale/flood myth common to many separate cultures had to come from somewhere.
The opening of the Bosphorus into the Black Sea, or some sort of civ out on the Canary Islands being destroyed in a mega-landslide after a seismic/volcanic event, or it could have also been some sort of glacial release flood from the retreating glaciers, or the flooding of Doggerland/creation of the North Sea.
The Chinese have their own flood myths, but those are mostly stories of really, really bad river floods that helped propel the First Emperor to his throne. Far more mundane than Noah or Atlantis.
Fair enough.
They seem to claim the Han are the best in China iirc.. didn't Xi basically make himself Emperor in all but name?
Oh the CCP is up to all sorts of shanaganns. Just google how many quote unquote fossils of Dinosaurs have been found in China recently. I may not be a scientist but they seem to have more found fossils than any other fossil site in the entire world. Like more animals living in some locations at certain periods of time than an ecosystem can actually sustain. I think another CCP fossil scandal is on the horizon.
Ancient Chinese Maps show that their carnivorous dinosaurs once had the surrounding nations' land as their territories...
What?
While kind of a meme, China has a long history of claiming every invention was made in China a thousand years more advanced than everybody else (and thus they have a natural right to pirate those patents), and pulling out "Ancient Chinese Maps" that show that they used to own/control whatever territory is currently being contested and therefore have a natural/prior claim to it as their former holdings.

The Chinese would probably claim that they taught Capuchin Monkeys how to make stone knives thousands of years ago.While kind of a meme, China has a long history of claiming every invention was made in China a thousand years more advanced than everybody else (and thus they have a natural right to pirate those patents), and pulling out "Ancient Chinese Maps" that show that they used to own/control whatever territory is currently being contested and therefore have a natural/prior claim to it as their former holdings.
Most recently, right as they began business overtures in Africa, suddenly they discovered Ancient Chinese Maps showing that long before Europeans got there, China had extensive holdings and trade routes in Africa and controlled those territories.
Ancient Chinese map of Africa poses unanswered questions | ThingsAsian
The recent unveiling in South Africa's parliament of a replica of an ancient Chinese map of the then known world which includes a recognisable outline of Africa is raising intriguing questions of...thingsasian.comChina’s long history in Africa - New African Magazine
Despite the current frenetic media salvo unrelentingly declaring China’s “new inroads” into Africa, nothing could be further from the truth. China’s presence in Africa dates back centuries and spanned a number of ancient dynasties.
Thus my post was just a riff on that, of China creating fake dinosaur fossils to claim Chinese Dinosaurs once roamed other nations so China has a right to claim resources/territory from those nations.
Yes, there is at least one, probably more, Ancient Chinese Maps that claim they discovered America first.

China: First to Discover the New World?
The first humans to settle in the Americas crossed the Bering land bridge from Asia, most archaeologists agree. But author Gavin Menzies has made a career upending conventional wisdom - he now claims that Chinese sailors first set foot in the New World.

Possible.They even can try to prove that T.Rex was from China.And as such,USA are their rigtfull property.
