Glad to hear all is well thus far, tough break for your neighbor, perhaps he has insurance to cover the damage....
"I read somewhere a few years back that the oldest known map of the world (Egyptian) showed the coastline of Antarctica as it is UNDER the ice cap. That suggests several things.
First, population, which fits in with the city you noted.
Second, a warmer planet, and no ice cap on Antarctica.
Third, world travel, millenia before Columbus.
I wonder what the global warming nuts would say if a forest was found under the Antarctic ice."
Interesting note about Hapgood, and you can find it back in first link I posted about him, was he studied many older maps, an noted major changes in the landscape so to speak, which was no doubt the core to his theory's I would think....
Another interesting thing I most recently learned, was that the Earth has huge amounts of methane trapped under the ice caps, from all the dead animals an plant life that was frozen an lost in time under the ice. And if they melted you would have much higher ocean levels and a much warmer global climate....
Fantastic show on history, Earth 2100 about Lucy a gal born in 2009 (fictional account), an her journey towards 2100 an how the Earth, the people an populations, and nations which changed along the way, based on what experts think may happen....
Well many things happened bad. First the mid west all but dried up an towns like Vegas were all but lost an forgotten after Lake Meade and the Colorado dried up. Disease outbreak, an billions died.....
One interesting note that lead me into this, was there was a portrayal of the president using scientific technology to keep the ice caps from melting, releasing all that methane into the atmosphere which would undoubtedly raise average global temperatures. They flew thousands of jets over the ice caps, spraying a mist of chemicals to keep them cool, also to prevent rising oceans, an washing away place like New York. Huge walls were built over many years to hold the ocean at bay. Really should watch, eye opener of possibilities of the future for sure....
It all got real bad with the disease an high waters around 2080, technology was all but lost, city's became enclosed in walled towns, and they had next to zero communications from similar cities. The overall world population fell below one billion. One day, all the light went out and power an Internet was lost. Thing went back to the ways of a simpler time....
