And that's when our last ice age really ended. I think there was a whole lot of things that just pressured them into especially finding new ways of subsistence. Here in the Americas, a huge thing that happened was all the megafauna went away. When the climate changed enough, the mammoths died out and the bison died out, and there was just they had to come up with different ways of doing things.

  2. “I reflect upon that often as an archaeologist I think about this great country that I live in and love and all the things we've achieved. But, you know, we're a baby historically speaking. We've been around 200 years. Heck, a lot of the cities I study in Central and South America, they had a run of 800, a thousand years, and now they're ruins, but we're barely getting started in terms of historical civilizations.”

  6. “Crete there are chunks of Santorina. So it blasted what was ever there, but what's left on the side of the crater Akrateri is strange.”

  7. “Device and His school. If one did exist or a shadow of it, my money would be on Akratiri. Criteria is what's left of a big city that was on. Island of Santorini.”

  8. “it right now. Can't possibly imagine that it dug that, but it did. The power of nature Geology is really kind of magical. And when it comes to ancient civilization, That could be from a long time ago, there's probably a lot that are just under the ocean. The action. Have destroyed them. But they haven't destroyed buried deep.”

  9. “Absolutely. In fact, in my opinion, that's almost a certainty in a lot of places. The Grand Canyon was dug by water. There's this wimpy little river in there.”

  10. “I think at the base of the Andes, where the Amazon connects to the Andes, there's a lot of potential there because that's where the stone actually starts poking up. When you get down into the basin, stone is meters and meters under the ground except for a stray cliff here and there where the river rug dug deep. And even then only in the dry season, because that river rises like over a hundred feet every year.”

There are some other less startling things that we had no idea existed in push our dates back and give us whole new civilizations we had no idea about. So yeah, it's happened and I think it'll happen again.”
