good find , well deserve 5

as well

Kind of amazing that Africans still can't construct a water well. Hmmmm? Can anyone explain the reason to me, seriously, why?

This type discovery challenges all we think we knew about history and progress of man kind.

[…] the wells built during the early Neolithic period between the years 5206 and 5098 B.C.

That's simply unbelievable

Cool OP - just wish they had high res images or at least bigger then what they pict in the link.

Yup. Quite awesome. Not the first find that leads us to believe the Germans were much more advanced than once previously thought...

Just don't tell Hitler... he would have creamed his pants over a find like this.

they are re-writing the history books all the time!!

because it is all lies!!

2 Stoopid & 2 Lazy

and to them 2 + 2 = "I ain't nose no maff"

LOL

Could it be because their are no shallow wells in Africa?
We still have wells in East Texas that were dig by hand only 20-50 feet deep, I talked to a man who use to dig them he he said it was dangerous because of the gas. They are made with wood

Wait till you read about the 1994 finds in Schoningen - 300,000 year old wooden spears used by H. Erectus, in the context of a horse hunt. Yes, they were preserved.

:goldstar1::goldstar1::goldstar1::goldstar1::goldstar1:

They could have had aok plantations for harvesting the wood.I can't imagine them working on huge oak trees.

all the technology we have in this world, and these are the biggest pictures we could find?

Perhaps. Maybe, but I see them drawing water out of shallow wells that the charities have dug for them, so who knows.

With PDFs.

Btw, it is there*

And 151 oak timbers preserved from that time. Wonder how all that wood managed to not rot or be destroyed by the weather, people or animals for 7000 years.

Is there a reason to be such a douche?

Just ask a question, can you answer it douche.

lack of oxygen in the water!

Agreed.

Ancient Aliens for the WIN!

:ThreadAliens:

5 * and +1, OP, interesting stuff!

Maybe Africans didn't need wells. Dunno. Anyway, Africans are the people who know how to smelt iron without blast furnace. Recent demonstration of made-by-hand was just 3-4 years ago. Can you make iron in your backyard without any modern equipment?

You are too funny to take serious.
