quote:The civilization could have disappeared because of the icing up of the southern land that began not earlier than in the tenth millennium B.C. Another possible reason could be large inundations that led to long-lasting local floods, which are not disclaimed by archaeologists. Such natural disasters could destroy almost the whole material culture of the protocivilization. It can be possible that some part of it is covered with thick Antarctic ice. Another possibility is that some of the representatives of this protocivilization could have survived. In this case they could have pass their knowledge to Egyptians and Sumerians.
I don't believe any of this, but I posted it here because I thought it was sort of funny.

There is no such thing as lunacy in the Eurocentric zeal to dissociate AE from the rest of the continent and in general, African contribution to making the world they now live in.

I have heard of this "theory" before and I found it hilarious the first time I heard it. Now, it's not even funny any more.

Mystery said it right, I've heard everywhere from India to Aryan (Nords, not the tongue). Oh and let's not forget the aliens and the spacecraft.
