The Bronze Age appears to be a period when the peninsula was more populated. It may have been 2 degrees warmer and there would have been human settlements there

@BruidheanChaorthainn , I struggle at making sense of this sort of thing. Could you please provide your considered analysis?

“The Bronze Age appears to be a period when the peninsula was more populated. It may have been 2 degrees warmer and there would have been human settlements there"

Lads don’t want to hear that sort of stuff, they are invested too deeply in the climate change agenda. Earth will keep spinning, some folk won’t make it… same as it ever was.

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

That’s such a silly attitude.

This is exactly it.

Climate change is a constant but isn’t the point that the current rate of change is happenning at an alarmingly increased level to before and is entirely self inflicted?

Magical,worked in Palestine years ago ,when I say work it was basically a piss up for a while ( separation time)
Missed Petra ( drink again - no wonder I jacked it)
Brothers and mates went said it was unreal
Israel/ Palestine beautiful place but God was it fucked up, Palestinian ppl really 3 Rd class there,and fucked about by their own aswell

Very possible but not conclusive. In an entirely separate point… If it is as you say, are we advanced enough as a species to prevent it escalating further? The Asians want their piece of the western dream and why wouldn’t they, its a juggernaut.

Atlantis was in plain sight. Plato was right

Lost Roman Map has ATLANTIS at Eye of Sahara Africa! (Richat Structure)

Listened to first hour and found it enjoyable

[Heyyoubehindthebushes]

Its compelling, in fairness he never said its definite but theres enough evidence for a proper investigation that archaeologists dont want to do

[TreatyStones]

Bullet points?

[Heyyoubehindthebushes]

Atlantis was in modern day mauritania

A giant tsunami swept across the Sahara from the Mediterranean to the ocean around 12000bc

This eye of the sahara has concentric rings as described by plato

Also past the pillars of hercules as described by plato

This was connected to the Atlantic ocean around the same time period

Known for historical high deposits of gold.

[TreatyStones]

Sounds more plausible than a lot of theories.

[Heyyoubehindthebushes]

Its worth actually investigating i guess. Troy was only proven to have actually existed a few years back

[TreatyStones]

This fairly debunks it

Could the 'Eye of the Sahara' Be the Lost City of Atlantis?

Later on the chat about “Geo magnetic pole shifts” concerned me

[Heyyoubehindthebushes]

Yeah its definitely possible but unlikely. What they need is some ground surveying equipment and diggers really to prove or disprove the theory. Magnetic pole shifts is a bit out there.
