[QUOTE="thoughtgypsy, post: 959364, member: 571"] Interesting. I've never heard of this before. [URL]http://www.ancient-origins.net/ancient-places-africa/adam-s-calendar-oldest-megalithic-site-world-003160[/URL] It seems as though it's dating was conducted based on it's astronomical alignment, not by radiocarbon decay. I'd be curious to see what that would produce. Africa is regarded as the site where evidence of the oldest religious ritual is found. There is a python/serpent religious site in Botswana where artifacts taken from hundreds of miles away were collected. It's been dated to over 70,000 years ago.

Based on the geologic record, it's likely that a large comet struck the Earth, resulting in global flooding, volcanic activity, mass fires, and a persistent debris cloud in the upper atmosphere.
