No I don’t believe there was a global civilization before the younger dryas. Everyone was a hunter gatherer and population density was extremely low. Groups of Eurasians had become highly divergent maybe 50 thousand years prior to that period and we know that because we have the genetics of dated remains from all over eurasia.

Hey rhy how ya doin? Hows Hawaii?

Pure speculation does not go both ways. No matter how pozzed anthropology is today, it relies on accumulated evidence and literally centuries worth of evidence both archeological, historical and genetic to prove an influence from one culture on another.

Has anyone produced evidence of how gobekli tepe, a culture that existed 10,000 years ago “shared wisdom” with the people of rapa nui, who lived 1000 years ago? The polynesians were late colonizers of the south pacific. Their society couldn’t have been a spin off of gobekli tepe— they weren’t contemporaries. Any influence of gobekli tepe in polynesians would be all over south east asia, not just rapa nui. We are supposed to believe that the people of SE asia maintains a bird’s head iconography tradition for 10,000 years?

Gobekli tepe drew people with bird heads. Rapa nui drew people with bird heads. A kindergartener draws people with bird heads. Its fucking random. People are randomly inspired to draw figures with birds heads. A chinese person uses an ox head as a symbol. An iron age jew uses a cow’s head as a symbol. People create symbols from common objects. The null hypothesis is that there is no meaningful conection. The most fundamental concept in scientific method is that you have to accept the null hypothesis until you can disprove it. Otherwise we would have people insisting that dragons exists and green spacemen. No you cannot make up whatever story you want about history and insist that your hypothesis is as legitamate as someone else’s. All the evidence (and there is a mountain of it) is that theres not a secret link of ancient wisdom passed down to chinese people of the iron age and polynesians of the middle ages from fucking gobekli tepe in the fucking mesolithic. FFS.
