Sumeria mentions a flood and they were around a bit before the Hebrews who seem to have copied that flood story...So it is indeed hard to discuss these things without noting how the rise in sea levels, if they did indeed occur, found their way as mythical accounts into places like the bible and early Sumerian texts...The Sumerian story is one worth looking into as so much actually came from them..even Adam and the garden appeared there first. And do they have some wild stories of what they called gods flying about...it is hard to grant them such powerful imagination but I find I must come down on the side of..they were great story tellers.
And don't worry about the thread getting closed as that was no doubt more my fault than yours...but I do hope you had time to look at the link that I put up for you.
There are a few sunken cities around the world.
I was reading today that there is a layer of sea silt around the great pyramid so wouldn't that be interesting if it's not just a tale someone made up.
Anyways thanks you for contributing here and if you can add anything say from a sourse other than you know where please present it...mind you for some folk to even think that there could have been a different history is unthinkable but I have found the more you look at what is out there the more one must wonder if we know anything about anything.
Thanks.

Alex if you go to the rocks north of Ballina -- not that far from your location, I 12 km live north of Nimbin -- you will find a fossil beach in this rocks above the present sea level. So Sea levels were higher at one stage in the past. Nothing to do with an Astroid or comet impact.

Pharaoh Tutankhamen had a couple of knifes in his tomb. A Solid Gold one and an Iron one. The Iron was the More valuably one as Iron was often from Meteors. But on my facebook page I saw a Youtube of smelting Iron with very simple primitive tools.
In South America is very ancient Aluminium sheets lining walls of ancient Buildings. The Only way we can smelt Aluminium today is with enormous amounts of Electricity. So that the Ancients 4000 years ago generate enormous amounts of electricity, or else they had other technologies to smelt Aluminium that modern man has never discovered.
Some ancient races could do that smelting of Iron, while others could not. And Archaeology has found some used Iron much earlier than others.
In India is found a large ancient Iron pillar that will not corrode. We cannot produce such Iron today.
