Prior to the Zanclean flood the mediterranean still had water, just not as much. We know there are underwater structures across the sea floor. We also know that the cart ruts of Malta extend under water and come up on shore across parts of the sea.
With this verifiable and proven knowledge we can safely say that prior to the sea becoming what it is today there were civilizations. Fair. The question then becomes, when was the last flood?
This is something that I find interesting since it’s never talked about. It was the Zanclean flodd from about 5.3 million years ago.
Prior to this flood there were 2 separate bodies of water and a land bridge connecting Europe to Africa. Our history hasn’t just been stolen, it’s been hidden in plain sight. It’s right there for us to see but we continue to close our eyes.
