I mean, even allowing for a civilisation in the Sahara region,

2019-11-18 12:08:38 UTC  

There's absolutely no reason why they would know Antarctica exists.

2019-11-18 12:09:13 UTC  

Humans have been sedentary for over 12,000 years and it took us the better part of 11,500 to work out that America existed.

2019-11-18 12:09:41 UTC  

I'm skeptical that an as of yet unsupported theory for a civilisation in what is now the Sahara would have the capacity to know Antarctica exists and then map it.

And even if they did those maps would not have survived to the people who ended up drawing new ones.

2019-11-18 12:09:56 UTC  

There was a great thread on 8/pol/ about this (yeah, I know, I was also surprised that there's something besides natsoc larping)

2019-11-18 12:10:12 UTC  

Hm.

2019-11-18 12:10:21 UTC  

I find it an interesting thought exercise.

2019-11-18 12:10:40 UTC  

But to me it just sounds like someone saw a coincidence in map drawing and a theory for what a whole continent might have once looked like,

2019-11-18 12:11:01 UTC  

And then surmised the only possible solution is a civilisation in a green sahara that predates any known development of agriculture.

2019-11-18 12:12:01 UTC  

I'll tell you one thing though,

2019-11-18 12:12:05 UTC  

It'd make for an excellent novel series.

2019-11-18 12:12:07 UTC  

I'd read it.

2019-11-18 12:12:19 UTC  

Discovering an ancient civilisation buried beneath the sands of the Sahara.

There's this guy who did a lot of reasearch on it, I can't find his name right now

2019-11-18 12:13:38 UTC  

I'll not lie though I'm more fascinated by civilisations we know existed but are unfathomably ancient.

Akkad, Mitanni, the Harappans, etc.

2019-11-18 12:14:35 UTC  

I'll try find it, brb

2019-11-18 12:15:00 UTC  

There was a sick Joe Rogan podcast with Graham Hancock about discovering an ancient civilisation in the Americas and the Amazon rainforest and stuff. Incredibly fun listen.

2019-11-18 12:16:23 UTC  

but probably bullshit

All your conversation is solely predicated on personal diatribes and vitriolic attacks against me, you've never been able to form a single coherent argument, you keep persisting with "rhetoric" and empty sentences and then you act like what you uttered made even remotely an ounce of sense, so please, if you aren't able to converse without acting like a 10 year old, keep your opinions to yourself.
😳😳😳

2019-11-18 12:18:02 UTC  

You mean that city in the jungle that they couldn't find for decades even though they were in the middle of it because it was so densely overgrown and nobody put two and two together?

2019-11-18 12:18:11 UTC  

Yeah, that's him, Hancock.
And some older podcast where he's there with some geologist guy

2019-11-18 12:19:26 UTC  

Oh, lmfao, didn't know you was looking for him, I only roughly observed this convo while I was playing the PS4, that's hilarious.

2019-11-18 12:19:36 UTC  

Super interesting guy tho

2019-11-18 12:19:58 UTC  

I think I saved the 8ch thread I talked about, I'll see if I find anything useful there when I get home

2019-11-18 12:20:20 UTC  

Wait, 8ch is unbanned now?

2019-11-18 12:20:34 UTC  

nah, I saved it like half a hear ago

2019-11-18 12:20:46 UTC  

Ah, fuck, well that was a good call obviously.

2019-11-18 12:20:48 UTC  

as in I saved to my disk

2019-11-18 12:20:51 UTC  

not the link

2019-11-18 12:22:20 UTC  

decent his/pol boards are what I'm missing most, with the new options

2019-11-18 12:22:37 UTC
