Supposedly there is this documentary on Netflix that shows some good evidence that an advanced Atlantis type civilization was destroyed in about 13,000 BC by a comet or something like that. This would push back human civilization from the hunter/gatherer stage back quite a bit, since most anthropologists say civilization as we know it started about 4,000 BC (even though sites in Turkey already show that is wrong).
This documentary has all the experts class people riled up about his apparently popular Netflix show. On Twitter, I see Bible believers of one stripe or another saying it's evidence for a flood type event from Genesis, which exists is most cultures' mythology. This may or may not be the case. Atlantis is a popular idea too, and the Atlanteans may have spread civilization out to the hunter/gatherers after the loss of their homeland in the flood.
I intend to watch it this weekend. Here's an article on it.
Some episodes are better than others. It is an interesting presentation. There is an element of speculation. But there is proof catalysm occurred.
The problem is when and how. It was obvious in our distant past bigger events occurred. Undeniable. Many finds and dating go back past any assumptions. An assumption Rome patented all the Iron after Christ. Because everybody else had all the monkeys. It was literally like this. Because Rome made all the patents. Nobody else existed before Christ. If they did, it's because they didn't have any Iron recording it.
But as an example Minoan civilization could have reset from a heap of regional activity blighting the entire Mediterranean for millennia. Among other civilizations. While some is far older. Gobekli Tepe and Gunug Padang etc.
The thing that gets me are these alien hunters who claim Borobudur has the spaceships and it is not a earthquake, volcano monument. Look at those bells. Nope, suddenly they're the UFOs. They're those things the Nazis were flying and they learnt it from India. As bad as palaeontologists, I hate those guys. If modern human civilization would be gone in less than 20k years, WTF is a Dino? Rock art. They found the mammoths going back 2 million years. But the funniest thing about a big bang is the reptiles didn't evolve, because the mice did. I mean all those other lizards shrunk.
The series is worth the watch but it will take at least another 100 years before any text books even start to change. It seems whenever somebody suggests hang on, what happened to civilization 12k years ago, they produce another Dino. They been airing a bunch of controversy this decade. But don't touch the dinos, they caused the mice, becoming the monkeys. They've been inventing twice as many dinos to keep up with all the demand. The demand showing that civilization is even older than the Roman patents.
