Underwater Stonehenge rewrote the history of mankind Bashny.Net

scientists slept era when our civilization was born. All the historical chronology of the need to rewrite!





"Archaeologists have quite rightly suggested that the Mediterranean Sea is the cradle of civilization, - says the professor of the Italian National Institute of Oceanography in Trieste Emmanuel Lodolo. - At the same time, in spite of the enormous scope of work, they did not have any chance to find traces of the most ancient settlements. Why is that? Because of 12-15 thousand years ago, the coastline was held completely different. Traces of the first civilizations can not be found on the coast and on the seabed ».

ends - in the water! h2> Oceanographers came from a completely clear and simple thought - 20 thousand years ago during the last glacial maximum sea level was 120-130 meters lower than it is now . This occurred because the huge mass of water lay in thick glaciers of 3-4 kilometers. In this area of ​​Europe it was 40% more than now!

Many offshore seas did not exist: the Baltic Sea is a lake. From Eurasia to Alaska you could walk across the Bering land bridge without wetting his feet. Mediterranean while splashing in the tens of kilometers from the present coastline. A width of the strait between Sicily and Tunisia was not 160, as it is today, a total of 50 kilometers.

"It was a shallow sea area with many islands. It is obvious that there was a road that connected Africa and Europe - explained Lodolo. - So we decided to comb the seabed in the area with sonar. On the shelf near the island of Pantelleria found a surprising discovery: tower height of 12 meters, is broken down into two parts. It lay at a depth of 40 meters, so it was convenient to use divers and a small submarine. After careful study, we realized that found the remains of the giant port facilities that are 6, 5 thousand years before Stonehenge was built by representatives of an unknown civilization ».





The scientists determined that the column has an artificial origin (See below.). Moreover, they found a place where he carved this giant pillar. This ridge, which is located 300 meters to the south. In addition, divers discovered the remains of the breakwater that protected the harbor primitive. This half-meter ridge of stones laid out in a straight line. Judging by the age of seashells which stuck to the stones, mound began to spread 9800 years ago.

The ancestors were smarter than us with you h2> «This stone column - killer argument in a dispute with the traditional historians, - rubbing his hands professor Lodolo. - In science dominates idea of ​​hunter-gatherers, as people with a primitive technological thinking. Imagine - 11 thousand years ago! Not yet invented pottery, there is no animal husbandry and agriculture. I'm not talking about the metal tools. And suddenly we find this column, which proves that our ancestors were not backward people. After all, a kind of lump I had somehow cut down in the rock, arrange transportation, and then install the new location. It is only by people who have developed technological skills ».

And, of course, they were experienced sailors, traders and fishermen. Their society flourished, if they could afford such grandiose construction for its port arrangement.

But the idyll did not last long. People were forced to leave the port in about 9200 BC, when the water level due to the melting of glaciers has risen by 40 meters and almost flooded the island.

Study Italian oceanographers has revolutionized among archaeologists. Now I know what to look for traces of prehistoric civilizations of the Mediterranean should be offshore in the tens and hundreds of kilometers of coastline. And do not be surprised if it turns out that our ancestors in terms of development far ahead of his descendants. Indeed, the current finding of a few thousand years pushed back centuries beginning of a technological revolution.

Arrangement port h2> The monolith is located in the upper right corner between the figures 8A and 2A. The pier, which protects the harbor consists of two mounds and designated as INNER RIDGE and OUTER RIDGE.
