It's 10,000 BC, what did your house look like?

Goats more likely.

It's common knowledge that the world was created in 4004 BCE, so this topic is irrelevant.

It depends on where on Earth you are asking about.

Here in the Americas, people probably lived much the way North American Plaines Indians lived before the horse, simple tents. In Europe, around that time, some people were living in Earth covered, log structures that were half pits. Elsewhere, people lived under the sky or temporary shelters or shelters made from less durable materials than wood.

It's a gross oversimplification of the diverse cultures of Amerindians by using "plains" Amerindians to explain how all Amerindians lived.

Not to mention the fact that "plains" Amerindians consist of many different diverse cultural groups in of itself.

Amerindians of forested Eastern North America lived differently from the Amerindians of the plains.

Amerindians of the southwestern deserts of North America lived differently from the Amerindians of the Pacific coast region.

Amerindians of the sub-arctic lived differently from Amerindians of the Caribbean islands.


To use the "plains" Amerindians as THE archetype of all Amerindians is to oversimplify and disregard the diversity of Amerindian cultural groups.

However, if we take Plato's account in Timeos and Kritias according to which Atlantis was destroyed in 10,000 by a massive volcanic erruption after being entagled into a mortal battle with Athens and having decimated almost enterily the male population of the latter city, it becomes apparent that Athens was alive and kicking (somewhat) in 10,000 BC. Further based on Solon's account of the old Egyptian scholars there have been many Athens before the classical one which have been destroyed due to various catastrophies then rebuilt however all recollections and written accounts of them have been lost along with the devastating disasters. Thus there is a distinct possibility I was living pretty much where I am now albeit closer to the earth.

A scenario which would make monolith a natural disasters refugee.

12 kiloyears ago I was being ground into dust and then smaller dust by gigantic glaciers (whether we are talking about Canada or Latvia doesn't matter).

The people from India are Indians -- the people who first migrated to the Americas are not Indians.



Do you follow??

Aw come on, you don't have to stop saying it on my account.

*pssst* He's being PC. Let him run with it. The rest of us all know they're called Indians.

[Ben Kenobi]

BTW, why hasn't anyone yet blamed this thread for blasphemy?

Perhaps because the bible does not explicitly say there are 4000 years between Christ and Adam?

[St Leo]

No, we don't. I don't care what you call them, but they are Natives.

It's not PC bullsh*t -- the people who live in India are Indians.


What part of this do you not understand??
