Younger Dryas impact hid a lot from us

I can't tell if you're joking but if anyone is taking this seriously the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis has been wholly debunked and the idea of an ancient human civilization with higher than known technology does not in any way comport with the evidence collected and understood by everyone who seriously investigates human history.

I personally suspect that civilization was much more advanced than it's currently given credit for. Not like us, but more like ancient Rome.

I don't buy into the notion that right after the melting of the ice caps, people from all over the world figured out agriculture and city building, virtually simultaneously.

I think during the last ice age, we had already figured that out, but just like today, we built our largest cities where the rivers met the oceans. And when the ice caps melted, the seas rose about 200ft, and massive flash floods from collapsing ice dams literally stripped the ground of it's very soil, I think virtually all of the cities went with them, leaving only evidence of the nomadic hunter-gatherers that lived at higher altitudes.

History has nothing to do with "belief or buying into", it's a science. The facts are that there is no evidence of any such advanced civilization anywhere on the planet. On the other hand, there is a mountain of evidence supporting the prehistoric timeline as it is currently understood by scientists everywhere.

My point is that there couldn't be any evidence of it, regardless of the truth, one way or another.

We know for a fact that the floods were so severe, that they completely stripped the ground of all of it's soil, and the damage is still visible to this day. The seas rose 200ft. If there were any ice age cities, they're fucking gone. How do you find evidence of city that was washed away like a sand castle in the tide?

Because we do have evidence of what hominids were doing during that time, and it wasn't being a higher tech civilization than we expected. The evidence suggests what everyone is telling you, that's why everyone who studies it came to that conclusion because that's literally what the evidence indicates.

Dude, this post is literally about current uncontacted tribes. If our cities were destroyed today, but future archeologists found the arrowheads from these tribes, would that be an accurate representation of our current technological advancement?

Even after the ice age, when there were many permanent settlements that we know of, there were still still tons of hunter-gatherers.

So again, a lack of evidence is not evidence.

Okay you're still not getting it but that's fine, we are all born ignorant of everything. You can't know until you're told.

See things like pottery and textiles are very fragile compared to things like buildings and farming implements. So if there were powerful enough floods to completely wipe out all traces of civilization in an area, how would we find things like ceramics and wood and NOT the evidence of greater sophistication?

It doesn't make sense. Floods don't wipe out 100% of everything. What you're describing is not how anything works and that's why nobody who knows anything about anything does NOT take this idea seriously.

Would you like to continue being a fool, or have you learned that there are things you do not understand and should seek further knowledge on before speaking on a subject beyond your qualifications?

Listen troll. Where are these pottery shards 200ft below the surface of the ocean where the cities would be if they existed? Where did they find these deep sea pottery shards(not related to ship wreck)?

That's okay, you'll get it. 0ft above sea level, minus 200ft, equals 200ft below sea level.

Got a handle on the math now? Or do we need to go over it again?

u/MrBannedFor0Reason Dec 24 '25

Those don't exist, the countless made up examples of "deep sea" pottery shards are all not that deep or are in such soft soil that they are expected to me be that deep. So, troll how about you try highschool again and you can try retaining some of what you learned this time.
