"Fringe" History Anonymous 01/17/16 (Sun) 21:23:40 7216c6 No.34384

I have an interest in the "fringes" of history, AKA the areas of archeology and history that we just don't know about. This includes the "lost cultures" like the many european tribes that simply didn't survive like the Thracians, Etruscans, etc, as well as the parts of history that are just beyond our current archaeological index, like the civilizations that probably existed before the Mesopotamians, the proto-europeans, the people who originated the flood myth, the pre-aryan indus river valley civilization, and really anything else we just don't know much about. Granted, most of the material on these subjects are probably going to be heavy speculation at best, and fantasy at worst, isn't it still interesting at least? To pear into the absolute unknown and wonder at what might exist there?

if this is too /tg/ I can take my inquiries there instead

Evidence of happening or it didn't happen.

This shit was always pretty spoopy for me.

>Huge stone structures created during the 10th MILLENIUM BC

>Evidence of a complex civilization during the early neolithic age

>200 pillars, some 20 ft tall and over 20 tons

I really don't know how this hasn't gotten more coverage, this could change everything we know about early human civilization. I found about this on Ancient Aliens of all places.

I think the evidence showed the possibility of multiple clans working on the thing because it held some booga wooga religious things to it.

And the tenth Millennium B.C. is about when wheat was beginning to be domesticated, but it still is probably that the Netufian culture made gobekli tepe

This isn't really history per se, but it's still a wonderful contribution to archaeology.

A brand new species of dinosaur was discovered in Wales today.

Nah.

The crude lizard on the slab ruins it.

Having a blank monolith of shiny black stone or Iron, or a kind of marble that is not found in the area-THAT is spoopy.

Still, the achievment of these people were incredible for the time.

I am intrigued by the african civilisation of the Noks btw.

They made really good realistic art, could cast greater amounts of Iron and existed for like 300 Years based on the age of these heads, whom the first one was found by a french who noticed its misuse as a scarecrow by some native farmer. Others were found by copperminers.

We dont know shit about them, because the region the stuff was found is central nigeria and dedicated archeologes would risk getting a machete to the face by staying prolonged time there.
