Now i'm not saying this is FACT, but imagine if this was true, then it's very possible that a civilization buried underneath the 'Black Sea' (if their is one) could be very well an earlier civilisation than the ones in Egypt or Sumer, couldn't they? |
Altough this seems to be a somewhat fanciful rendition of it, I believe Robert Ballard (as in "found" the Titanic) recently discovered some evidence, including artificial structures, that MAY indicate that there was at least some human activity in areas that are currently well away from the present day shoreline of the Black Sea, and under several hundred feet of water. There is apparently strong evidence that at some time within human "memory", the Black Sea, and possibly a good portion of the floor of the present day Mediteranian Sea were in fact above water, and their sudden flooding as the result of prehistoric catostrophic geologic event, may be in part, the basis for Biblical, as well as other ancient "myths" of a "Great Flood"
