According to this article, https://badarchaeology.wordpress.com/tag/paulina-zelitsky/, the team that discovered the city planned to make another expedition funded by National Geographic in 2005. I think it's possible that the Cuban government refused to allow further exploration of the site when it found that an American organization would be involved.
Years ago, I solved this but the Biblical Archaeology Society and others had no interest, as anything that affirms Scripture or hurts pre-existing sales is undesired. I can prove from early Christian writers and from the Bible itself that the Hebrew Exodus happened circa 1551 B.C., after Jacob entered there 215 years earlier, some 215 years after Abram did. Thus 430 years after Abraham entered Keme or Egypt, the Exodus happened. The significance of this is that the cited Sumerian king list ends in 1720 B.C.
The Sumerian king list: translation
Citing only in part:
1-39 After the kingship descended from heaven, the kingship was in Eridug. In Eridug, Alulim became king; he ruled for 28800 years. Alaljar ruled for 36000 years. 2 kings; they ruled for 64800 years. Then Eridug fell and the kingship was taken to Bad-tibira. In Bad-tibira, En-men-lu-ana ruled for 43200 years. En-men-gal-ana ruled for 28800 years. Dumuzid, the shepherd, ruled for 36000 years. 3 kings; they ruled for 108000 years. Then Bad-tibira fell (?) and the kingship was taken to Larag. In Larag, En-sipad-zid-ana ruled for 28800 years. 1 king; he ruled for 28800 years. Then Larag fell (?) and the kingship was taken to Zimbir. In Zimbir, En-men-dur-ana became king; he ruled for 21000 years. 1 king; he ruled for 21000 years. Then Zimbir fell (?) and the kingship was taken to Curuppag. In Curuppag, Ubara-Tutu became king; he ruled for 18600 years. 1 king; he ruled for 18600 years. In 5 cities 8 kings; they ruled for 241200 years. Then the flood swept over.

It seems that the proper word for "year", rather than a simple measure of time of an unknown factor, does not appear in the Akkadian chronology for it to be translated as "year" or such.
The word "year", not being a variant of sattu in the relevant texts below...are translated as to what appears to be an original intent of the scribe...an approximation of "days" is the logically correct translation...often in forms of one hundred as the measure of rounding up or down...based on reconstructing the corruption of the texts.
The chronology of the list of Sumerian kings is resolved by a better translation, reconstruction of corrupt texts to original intent, and a placing of that chronology upon the accuracy of the Biblical chronology.
1-39
After the kingship descended from heaven, 2348 B.C.
{after Noah’s ark}
the kingship was in Eridug.
The word for heaven, might easily be read as that which was first intended as waters from above...or, 'after that the [Noachian] flood receded". If this is the intent, there may have to be an adjustment to create a family (grandchildren and great grand-children) of Noah. This adjustment can be as little as 15 to as many as 50 years. All you need is a son of Shem intercoursing with two of his sisters or cousins for the clock to start ticking...if we were to take that approach. But the best we can do with the text, for now, is just a generalized reconstruction...until a better or comparative copy from antiquity surfaces.
In Eridug,
Alulim became king;
he ruled for 28800 {DAYS}. 78 years 10 months 2348 to 2269 B.C.
Alaljar ruled for 36000 {DAYS}. 98 years 6 months 2269 to 2171 B.C.
[some 22-30 years after 2269 B.C., the earth is divided]
2 kings; they ruled for 64800 {DAYS}. 177 years, 4 months -- ending 2171 B.C.
Then falling over to Eridug
Taking (into account) the kingship (in regard to) Bad-tibira.
In Bad-tibira, En-men-lu-ana ruled for 43200 {DAYS}. 118 years, 3 months 2348 to 2230 B.C.
En-men-gal-ana ruled for 28800 {DAYS}. 78 years 10 months -- 2230 to 2151 B.C.
Dumuzid, the shepherd, ruled for 36000 {DAYS}.
98 years, 6 months -- 2151 to 2053 B.C.
3 kings; they ruled for 108000 {DAYS}. 295 years, 7 months
Then falling over to Bad-tibira
Taking (into account) the kingship (in regard to) Larag.
In Larag, En-sipad-zid-ana ruled for 28800 {DAYS}. 78 years, 10 months -- 2053 to 1974 B.C.
1 king; he ruled for 28800 {DAYS}. 78 years, 10 months
Then falling over to Larag
Taking (into account) the kingship (in regard to) Zimbir.
In Zimbir, En-men-dur-ana became king; he ruled for 21000 {DAYS}. 57 years, 6 months -- 1974 to 1917 B.C.
1 king; he ruled for 21000 years. 57 years, 6 months
Then Zimbir fell (?) and the kingship was taken to Curuppag.
In Curuppag, Ubara-Tutu became king; he ruled for 18600 {DAYS} 50 years, 11 months -- 1917 to 1866 B.C.
1 king; he ruled for 18600 years. 50 years, 11 months
In 5 cities 8 kings; they ruled for 241200 {DAYS}. 660 years, 3 months
However, the actual length breaks down to something like 482 years of existence, with 364 years of some kind of regional domination...both having their point of reference as ending 1866 B.C.
There may have to be some adjustment in the dating and translation regarding Eridug. The alternate scenario would have usregard the first de facto ruler as in 2230 B.C. as the date immediately following the fall of Babel, while dating Babel to within a decade of the Biblical expectancy.
"Then the flood swept over."
That is, here in this instance, "wiping the slate clean."
It is an expression of resoftening the clay, so that it can be reused for writing...or telling us that a new accounting, or sub-history, or of those with lesser titles, is taking place.
Therefore, we are next prepared for sub-kings, district lords, or first administrators of their provinces during the period following that up to this point. The Sumerian structure had essentially disintegrated by 1866 B.C., according to this timeline of the Sumerians, which dating is verified against the Bible timeline. But, like the vice-regent duality lists known to Manetho, who counted second in commands as if they too were Pharoahs…so also does this Sumerian account offer confusion in the number of what are reckoned as their own leaders. The list appears to be composed in or very shortly following 1720 B.C.
1866 - 1799 B.C.
(40-94) After the [same] flood [as listed above] had swept over, and the kingship had descended from heaven, the kingship was in Kic. In Kic, Jucur became king; he ruled for 1200 {DAYS}. etc.
... 23 kings; they ruled for 24510 {Days} ...Then Kic was defeated and the kingship was taken to E-ana. -- 67 years,1 month
...
1799 - 1793 B.C. / The Hyksos now invading Egypt, by my reconstruction of the Exodus timeline, textually provable by Greek history preserved by Patristics, and the Bible.
(95-133) In E-ana, Mec-ki-aj-gacer, the son of Utu, became lord and king; he ruled for 324 {Days}. etc.
...12 kings; they ruled for 2310 {Days}. Then Unug was defeated and the kingship was taken to Urim. -- 6 years, 4 months
...
(378-431) A total of 39 kings ruled for 14409 {Days}...in Kic.
That is, 39 years, 5 months or 1793 - 1754 B.C. in Kic.
A total of 22 kings ruled for 2610 {days}... in Unug.-- 7 years, 2 months or 1793 to 1786 B.C. in Unug
...A total of 134 kings, who altogether ruled for 28876 {days}
-- That is, 79 years or 1799 to 1720 B.C.
By this above reconstruction, edited down, we can see that the Akkadian / Old Babylonian / Sumerian vacuum was present in 1866 B.C.
If the Akkadians are any rule of measure to the Hittite issue...of the debate that sometimes arises as to precisely when the Hitites had their zenith in ancient history...we can say that the likelihood of the zenith of the Hittites was between 1866 B.C., to a point beyond 1720 B.C. on just the Sumerian texts alone.
With the Akkadian collapse, the uniting of bands in the Hittites would have allowed the prospering and dominance from the Lebanese Mediterranean Sea to the Euphrates river for hundreds of years, while being beyond the permanent logistically supported presence of an Egyptian army seeking to subjugate the same region.
Quote – A lot of it has it's origins in ancient Sumer and Egypt.”
Ya, I’ve heard all that baloney many times before, and it might fly with a majority of people, even Christians, who have not researched for themselves.
I have been researching this stuff for decades,a nd that will not fly with me.
Give me specofocs, and i’ll demolish anything you think you have anytime.
The days where you non believers can fake out the Christians are pretty mcuh over. We’re educated, we’ve done the YEARS of study and we know THE TRUTH. Those old tactics just won’t work anymore.
Show me specfics. any fool can blow-hard in generalities.
Indeed :) a great article with excellent information. There is also a find of ancient chinese mortar, using rice, either in the great wall of china or some other wall I cannot recall the documentary name or story. But I do remember reading about it late 2015. That chinese rice was mixed in, and it still has not diminished in bond strength.
Love these videos :) Every archeology article needs these site films. Will seriously affect the way all of us who cannot be there, appreciate what those that are there, are doing ! :)
The second image "An Iron Ore mine in Dampier, Western Australia." is titled wrong.
If the image relates to Dampier, then it is the stockpile and loading facilities on East Intercourse Island, Dampier, Western Australia, with the loading wharf in the background.
The problem with comparing these texts to modern fiction is that there was no possibility of mass-replication. The author would produce the original text by hand, and that was the sole copy unless other people undertook to make copies, also by hand, a laborious and difficult task at best.
Because written texts were so rare, literacy among general populations was correspondingly low; there wasn't anything to read, so why learn?
And if there's only one copy of your work of fiction, and almost no one could read it anyway, what the hell is the point??
The invention of the printing press, enabling mass production of texts, resulted in a sharp rise in literacy. Only then was there a general market for fiction in the form of the printed word.
Because of this, casual dismissals of ancient texts as mere works of fiction strike me as being somewhat disingenuous.
Yeah it is, it's a book of myths, legends and semi historical tales, ideas and philosophies. It's the collected tales and beliefs of the people who wrote it. A lot of it has it's origins in ancient Sumer and Egypt. There are equivalent Gaelic collections for example, full of the same sorts of moral tales, genealogies, adages, blessings, histories both real and semi legendary etc etc. It's just that People don't take them as gospel so to speak. You and your fundamentalist, medieval and closed mindset Bronzesnake, would have your nearest equivalent these days in the backward Muslims of places like Afghanistan. I know you're going to reply to this with some more hocus pocus, mumbo jumbo, So I don't know why I'm bothering really. Though I do understand now why a more advanced alien civilisation would be unwilling to engage us humans directly until we had grown up a bit and embraced rational thought.
I noticed that also, but it appears to be a typo – look again –
“The geologists took a sample, and the laboratory results revealed that the components of the tombstone included 55% 50 karat gold dust, 15% granite dust and 30% wolfram. “
I’m guessing the “50” was a mistake. The rest of the paragraph describes some unknown technology to produce the composite.
“Also, the analysis revealed that the composite rock had been made using a type of technology unknown today.”
I’m no expert, so I will refer back to you sir. Does that explanation make sense? Thank you for the post.
OK if you don’t like this specific evidence, there is loads of real, observable, touchable elongated skulls, with a mix of human and unknown genetic materials, start your new life away from evolution magic tales, and get into the real evidence that you can actually study here and now.
You can’t deny the Exodus any longer, unless you squeeze your eyes,a nd ears shut really tightly, and sing a happy song to drown out truth.
The evidence is piling up, and it’s not the kind that starts out with “long ago and far away kids”
The Bible is not a book of myth and no matter how much you and your own ministers continue preaching the evolutionary fairy tales, they will never be anythng other than that.
In your world, it happened long ago and far away kids, you just ave to believe e, because I reference “real” scientists” who taught me that evolution happenes so slowly that we can’t actually observe it. Or, if you’re of the P.E. faith, change happened so fast we can’t see it. Amen.
Amazing how one person can see what everyone else has missed. This happens much more frequently that we suspect. It has happened a lot in archaeology, a field poisoned by rich amateurs.
If you have links to his research notes, please post with the article. Lots of conjecture here. There is a mystery to be solved, and the ruins show awesome creativity and importance. But he is sounding like some of the old History 2 channel's shows, where they leap to conclusions that aren't supported by direct evidence. For example, ruts in the ground show heavy weights traversed the area over time. But in Rome, and Europe you can see somewhat similar ruts from regular, daily use of wagons and chariots. Reading about him was entertaining, but let's see some real detective work.
This is a prime example of the type of rhetoric that the early Christian church used to stifle discovery. Narrowing your scope can only limit your understanding of the broader picture.

The Bosnian Pyramids are a multi million dollar hoax.

Amazing how one person can see what everyone else has missed. This happens much more frequently that we suspect. It has happened a lot in archaeology, a field poisoned by rich amateurs.
No offense but the opening line:
"Most archaeologists and historians agree that human civilization only emerged some 10,000 to 12,000 years ago."
If that were true, 'most' of them would be complete idiots. Who believes that?
