20,000 year old Buildings Found in Jordan
|
Nice find, Min. Can't wait to read this when I get home.
 Quote:And the fundies will shriek in outrage!!!! Ta for the link Min. No doubt many of the more closed minded will shriek their tits off. However,the progressives,such as those who built the creationist museum,will admit bishop Usher may have been a bit out in his calculations. I have seen some admit the earth may well be up to 50,000 years old! 
Neat article. Thanks for sharing!
I bet we'll see a few "you can't accurately date things" comments in response to this. Or "There are flaws in how they determine the ages" crap.

Looks like the role played by the agriculture revolution in human social and biological evolution need some revision.
Another really remarkable ruin of pre-agricultural stone building, this time on a monumental scale, is Gabekli Tepe in Turkey. It's at least 12000 years old. It's the earliest known monumental religious building in the world by 3000 years. The tantalizing thing about Gabekli Tepe site is not just stone work and relief sculpture, but hints that some elements of religious iconography prevalent in early Iron age Hittite culture 3000 years ago and continued down through to Kingdom of Pergamon during Greco Roman time, such as the leopard goddess, may have had descended directly from the Gabekli Tepe culture, indicating a continuous native cult or religious tradition in Anatolia that stretched 10,000 years. Let those fundies who bleat so bitter about how miraculously long (2000 year) christianity have survive chew on this. The leopard goddess cult is 10,000 years old when some one knocked up "virgin" mary to give Jesus birth. 
Impossible! Unthinkable! Blasphemous! How could there be buildings nearly fifteen thousand years before the Universe was created?! Only atheistic evilutionists and their Satanic scientism would even dare to imagine such heathen lies!
What, was God getting into practise before the big game? Learning the trade? Bricklaying's a skilled job, you know. Not to mention town planning.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Clearly while God is great, our ancesters were greater, and built a civilization in an as yet nonexistent universe with their as yet uncreated hands. |
