Unveiled ancient city submerged by flood reveals new insights on human history, according to experts' findings.
In a groundbreaking discovery, archaeologists believe they may have uncovered remains of an advanced ancient civilization in Iraq. The remains were found beneath 5,000-year-old Sumerian ruins at Tell Fara, a site that has long been a hub of archaeological activity.
This discovery, if confirmed, could push back the origins of civilization by at least 8,000 years. The researcher behind this theory is Matt LaCroix, who claims that geological records point to a global disaster around 20,000 years ago.
LaCroix has compared geological records, such as ice cores, tree rings, volcanic debris, and magnetic shifts, with ancient flood myths and astronomical alignments. He argues that the natural records reflect the same event described in flood legends, suggesting a much earlier catastrophe.
However, this challenge to the mainstream belief is not universally accepted. Most scientists argue there's no evidence of a global flood or lost civilization from the time of the Younger Dryas, a sharp cooling period about 12,800 years ago, which some point to as a possible cause of ancient flooding.
LaCroix, however, believes sudden climate shifts may have triggered massive floods. He points to the discovery of a thick layer of clay and sand as evidence of such a flood, suggesting that an even older civilization may have existed before being buried by a flood.
Similar flood layers have been discovered in Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, and Egypt, lending credence to LaCroix's theory. If proven, this theory would significantly alter our understanding of the timeline of civilization.

This discovery is a testament to the ongoing quest for knowledge and the importance of questioning established beliefs. As more evidence is uncovered, we may find ourselves rewriting the history books.
