I am now obsessed with underwater civilisation. We must build the marine tech that will enable us to unearth the 1000 cities under the seas. Humanity's 100,000 year civilisational history depends on this.

Doggerland had cities

How many cities are buried?

HOW. MANY. CITIES.

Who were the people which Noah escaped from on the ark? What did their architecture look like? What gods did they worship? When were they submerged?

Tamil Atlantis is REAL. Maldives are the last fragments of once great island nation that dominated the Indian Ocean and facilitated human civ expansion between Africa and India and Nusantara. This is probably how people got to Australia/Polynesia. Now the link is lost.

Theory assumes people just boated it nonstop. They refuse to acknowledge the existence of an Atlantis that allowed people to rest and facilitated travel across the Indo Pacific.

The myths of premodern peoples and cultures are not lies. The kernels of truth in them give us a better understanding of history than all modern theories put together. Oral history is legitimate. We must take tribal myths seriously.

Tolkien's Numenor was an acknowledgement of the reality of lost human civilisations in the great oceans.

Thiel should fund a marine tech company called Numenor.

Good Q:

The most prosperous cities are on coasts bc throughout history, travel + trade by water was faster, cheaper, and *safer* than over land. New York, London, Shanghai, Singapore, Constantinople, Rome, and pretty much any great city you can name. https://twitter.com/arpahector/status/1380842913064685574

Over the previous millennia, sea levels have been rising and eroding coasts. Today, we have less coastline than we used to (as you can see from pics posted throughout this thread).

So cities that existed on the coast 4000 years ago no longer exist today - they're all underwater, not too far from the coastline we have today. Our most ancient cities won't be found in the middle of landmasses, but on under the sea which was once upon a time coastline.
