Let me guess... They want us to think it came from Africa right?

Recent discoveries have shot huge holes in the "out of Africa" theory.

Definitely Possible that modern humans may have developed independently in different locations.

Basically different breeds of similar species.

Not sure the people who use that slogan actually know how a monarchy works or should i say wurkz.

This would have been much later than that. These would have been the new cultures following whatever flood or catastrophic event wiped out the more advanced cultures.

I don't disagree with you. I personally think that we could be the third "era" to reach the level of technology we are at right now, with the previous two superseding it. This stone would be from the beginnings of our current civilization. It is just a sign that we are still slowly digging deeper back in time. Every time we think we found the bottom of the roots of humanity, we find out we were wrong. I'm just waiting for the next discovery to be of something we can't understand from a technological perspective. I'm convinced it will happen in our lifetimes.

For all we know it has already happened and it just isn't public because our government is fricking terrible.

One of the reasons I think far older civilization evidence isn't readily apparent is because if it was far enough back to have been during the last Ice Age then most of their major cities should be currently submerged by the risen oceans and buried beneath lord knows how much muck due to river sediment and whatnot.

Most of humanity's major early cities were built in the confluence of these two things (oceans and rivers) due to the ease of travel and abundance of resources. Always close proximity to water. I can't imagine these factors being any less important in even earlier civilizations. In comparison, it is said that during the Ice Age much of the continental interiors were arid, glaciated wastelands. Useless frontier on par with Antarctica.

Putting these two things together leaves us with much fewer places to have to look for ancient civilization signs: drowned middle latitude river deltas (a là the Indus, Euphrates, Kilindini Harbour, etc.), coastlines (SE China), and islands (Indonesia, possibly the Caribbean).

And who would've thought, many of those places are already associated with some of our oldest known civilizations (likely successor states of those flooded).
