Bombshell discovery that rewrites human history: Lost city is found

"Archaeologists may have found evidence of an advanced civilization wiped out by a global flood 20,000 years ago, a discovery that could rewrite human history. Excavations at Tell Fara in Iraq during the 1930s revealed settlements dating back more than 5,000 years, in a period known for the emergence of cuneiform writing, centralized rule and complex urban organization. Tell Fara has long been considered a key Sumerian city-state, offering vital clues about early civilization, trade networks and administrative practices."

"But beneath the settlements, researchers discovered a thick layer of yellow clay and sand - an 'inundation layer' - indicating a massive flood that predates the known settlements. Such deposits typically settle on already-inhabited ground, raising the possibility that an even older civilization may have been buried and erased by cataclysmic waters. Similar flood deposits have been documented at Ur and Kish in Mesopotamia, Harappa in the Indus Valley, and even at ancient Nile settlements in Egypt."

"Independent researcher Matt LaCroix told the Daily Mail that geological records indicate a global disaster roughly 20,000 years ago. 'Nothing in the last 11,000 years even comes close to explaining it,' he said. He added that abrupt climate events could have triggered floods powerful enough to inspire myths found across cultures. 'A global catastrophe of this magnitude could have destroyed entire communities, leaving only fragments of culture and memory behind.'"

Excavations at Tell Fara in Iraq during the 1930s revealed settlements over 5,000 years old associated with cuneiform writing, centralized rule, and complex urban organization. Beneath those settlements a thick layer of yellow clay and sand, described as an 'inundation layer', indicates a massive flood that predates the known occupation. Such deposits typically settle on inhabited ground, implying an older civilization could have been buried and erased by cataclysmic waters. Similar flood deposits at Ur, Kish, Harappa, and ancient Nile sites occur across continents. Geological and ice-core records show abrupt climate swings and some linkages to large floods around the Late Pleistocene.
