To @paarsurrey :
As you can see, paarsurrey, cladking is making things up.
There are no evidences whatsoever man constructed cities or invented agriculture 40,000 years ago.
The oldest city is Jericho. Jericho was repeatedly constructed over older permanent settlement, and there are more than 20 layers, and the oldest is layer (at the bottom) is about 11,000 years ago.
This layer was constructed around 9600 BCE, and by 9400 BCE, the town grew large enough to have 70 mud-straw brick circular houses. Even more fascinating is the fortified walls surrounding the town, and a tower. This fortification may have been constructed to keep the water of Jordan from flooding Jericho, and not keep invaders away.
The slightly younger Göbekli Tepe (just over 9100 BCE), located in sotheast of Anatolia, what we now called Turkey. By 7300 BCE, Göbekli Tepe was abandoned. Even today, archaeologists haven’t been able to determine the purposes of Göbekli Tepe.
They may have languages, spoken languages 40,000 years ago, but nothing written until 5300 years ago, or 3300 BCE, with the primitive forms of cuneiform were found in Uruk (the Genesis called this city, Erech). Egyptian hieroglyphs didn’t exist until a century or two after Uruk’s cuneiform.
What languages they spoke 40,000 years ago, no one knows. And like I said, there were no writing system.
And the other things is that there were no science.
What cladking refused to understand is that there were no science this far back in time. Science is knowledge being explained, but since no writing exist, how could cladking possibly know there were science then?
I don’t know where he (cladking) got this 40,000 years, if he you telling that there were cities, agriculture, science and writings, then he is either lying to you, or he is seriously deluded.
Jericho is/was about 1300 feet below sea level.
