End of Ice Age

This will probably get right up your nose but I'm closing this thread. It's over 20 pages long and much of it is the usual crap that should be struck at with an iron fist. Pity I'm out of Iron fists, so you'll just have to settle for the thread lock.

Hey Skinster, isn't it ironic that the period of mass migrations in the ancient world occurred circa 1500 B.C., when the Exodus occurred, when the Aryans came to India, when the Goths, Vandals, and Assyrians began to move into Europe, when the "Old and Middle" Kingdoms of Egypt collapsed (see the Ipuwer Papyrus), and when the Sea Peoples began to invade Egypt, why did this all happen at once?

And don't forget, the Kingdoms of Rama and Kumari Kandam of India were submerged at this time, along with many others, because the sea level rose several hundred feet, why of course, because that is when the Ice Age ended.

The person that shall tell us convincently the answer to this one, would be very wise indeed.

Cue the Skinster.

 

Please cite the primary literature for your claims. There have been many "mass migrations" throughout the history and prehistory of man.

Moreover, sea levels had leveled off by around 4000 BCE, by the end of the Ubaid period. Indeed, they actually receded somewhat by 3800 -3200 BCE during the Uruk period. The "ice age ended," for all intents and purposes, by around 4,000 BCE (McClure 1978). The peak of the Würm glaciation was around 18,000-16,000 BCE, from that point to 4000 BCE the glaciers retreated and conditions changed from generally dry and cold to wet and warm (Fairbridge 1961; Kassler 1973; McClure 1978).

Your spurious claims have the appearance of pseudoscience, as they are unfounded, unreferenced, and unreliable. But we await your citations.

So you say it took 10,000 years for the Ice Age icepacks to melt, most mainstream scientists say they melted much more rapidly than that, circa 10000 B.C., so why are you off by 6,000 years Skin, and how can you be so at odds with your mainstreamer heroes?

And tell us about any other period of mass migrations anything like as was circa 1500 B.C.

 

First, the glaciers and polar caps are still melting.

Second, you didn't cite a source to your "information" on the "ice age."

Third, you didn't cite a source to your alleged "mass migrations."

Lets get there first, so we can qualify and quantify what we're talking about.

Otherwise, the remainder of your posts will be moved to the pseudoscience forum where they appear to belong.

 

Anyone who is the moderator of a history sub-forum shouldn't be asking about the mass migrations circa 1500 B.C., maybe you're moderating the wrong sub-forum again?

Well if the Ice Age is still ending Skin, then the Global Warming deal is all a hoax, right?

Anyone with the slightest knowledge of mainstream geology knows that the majority of the them say that the Ice Age ended rather suddenly circa 10000 B.C., so please don't go moderate the Earth Science sub-forum.
