Give or take about 2000km. As the crow flies, of course.
That's about the distance from NYC to Grand Forks, ND, or Kansas City, MO, to give you a contemporary reference point.

Only if you know absolutely nothing about the things they accomplished with stone.

Let me see if I can put this in even simpler retard speak for you.
Let's take a look at an ancient map of Africa and Ethiopia and then compare it to modern day.
You see, back in the day Ethiopia was much, MUCH larger than it is today. Likewise, Atlantis was also very large. Understand?

Yes, imho, without a doubt.

When are you going to bring your next social media influencer thread to the political board?

Yeah! Instead, we need more of Ed calling everyone who disagrees with her "retards" and "smart asses".

SFP is a well known smart arse and retard both. He is the only one I have called any names in this thread despite several disagreeing.

No I think he's fricking with you and you're letting him.
Just meet folks where they are man. You're on unique island. You'll always be lobbing missiles.
Anyway

Yeah, but you've spent most of the day and half the night hemorrhaging all over your other thread raging at any and everyone who has an opinion different than yours. You've gone through quite the list of derogatory, childish namecalling. You need to ease up a bit, ma'am. Respectfully, of course.

The confirmation of a pre diluvian civilization would have immediate impacts on world religion. And by extension, politics.

OP here, I screwed up.
I thought I was in the OT lounge when I started the thread.

I don't think it's impossible that there was a large civilization 12000 years ago, but I doubt it was in any way comparable to Rome or Greece.

I don't even know what that's supposed to mean. A massive megalithic structure built 1000's (?) of years before the 'known' Egyptian dynasties does raise questions and is fascinating to say the least.
We hear 'advanced technology' and immediately some think lasers and levitation beams. But that's not what anyone should think at all. Just how does a bronze age (or earlier) civilization with no known preceding skills in architecture, engineering, fabrication, manufacturing, etc... on any capable scale construct such structures?
'Slaves and a bunch of rope' doesn't even begin to explain it.
