8,000-year-old civilization on Konkan coast?

It's an interesting article, but I am very skeptical of the conclusions. If it was a sea-wall, what was it protecting? Assuming it is artificial, then the constructors obviously had skill in building in stone, so any habitation being protected by the sea-wall could be expected to also have stonework - yet there is nothing else evident in the area. I'm inclined to take the position this is a natural formation - unless evidence of stonework dwellings are found in close proximity. That's a very good point, actually. Perhaps they are further out in the ocean, rather than inland? Of course, the lik... [More]

Did anyone else look at the attached photo gallery? The "wall" is way out at sea so the land behind the wall is submerged. Also, it appears that the wall is heavily covered by corals and other sea life. To me this looks like a reef of recent corals that grew up on an ancient shoreline and for whatever reason have stayed in a linear pattern. Isn't there lots of fake "India Atlantis" sunken cities supposedly in this area? Every time they claim to find one, it turns out to be completely natural.

Another piece of evidence that civilisation is a lot older than we are led to beleave. If this is man made it means there was tecnology around prior to the end of the last ice age, ten to twelve thousand years ago, when the worlds oceans rose 100 metres. All we need is the proof of this walls age....

Not buyin' it. I still prefer to believe the only true ancient advanced civ is somewhere beneath the waves of the bahamas.

Very interesting topic. I'd like to learn more. Nothing is too surprising to find real.

The Baghada Gita and the Vedas talk about ancient civs in the area so perhaps they told the truth

The fact that it's not being touted as a stargate is promising

This is great!

Hmpf

An interesting find.
