Cool net find

It’s always trips me out that most people have this idea that ancient people were somehow not as intelligent as “modern” humans.

Just because they didn’t have the technology, doesn’t mean they didn’t have the same brains we have...lol

A super cool article. I’m of the opinion that there is a hidden history in this world that we have no idea about. In Australia, the aboriginal oral history is said to go back farther than 40,000 years.

Heck, they have stories about life before, during, and after the rise of sea levels due to the ending of the last ice age...


A lot of cool shit left to be discovered about our past selves.

The Athabaskan Indians in the interior of Alaska have an oral history of hunting Mammoth.

How long does it take for a story like that to die out in multiple villages & settlements?

My guess is a lot less than 4-10K years.

Some say that our tales of the flood and sunken lands have their origin in a rapid sea level rise from a meltwater pulse when the Laurentide ice sheet partially collapsed eight thousand years ago.
