>The bones were from bears/big cats and other animals used for fighting, not for snacking on as I thought at first.
Well maybe it depends on which animal lost the fight. Not just letting that go to waste.

I know historians say most of the archived and untranslated or un-decoded documents sitting in museum and university storage rooms are dull invoices, agricultural and trade documents but no doubt there are also many gems such as this, just waiting to be revealed someday by a tenacious researcher willing to do the work needed to uncover the contents.

Reply to comment by nybbleth in Lost islands cited in Welsh folklore and poetry are plausible, new evidence on the evolution of the coastline of west Wales has revealed by marketrent
>Various cultures (by no means 'all') having flood myths is hardly evidence of a singular worldwide flood as though
We know there was massive global flooding at the end of the Ice Age.
We also know various oral histories regarding flooding have all pointed to geographic and archaeological evidence that verified those stories were all related to end of Ice Age flooding.
Inuit oral history recorded villages (among a people that did not have permanent villages). Those villages have been found underwater.
Australian aboriginals passing down the names, locations of descriptions of islands that don't exist. But we found them underwater by following those stories, and they would have been above water at the end of the Ice Age.
Why would we doubt that the Sumerians, who were 6,000 years closer in time to the Ice Age, would not have remembered the post Ice Age flooding in their oral histories?

It's a rather unsatisfying write-up! Long on pats in the back and short on actual information. Interesting nevertheless.

They probably focus a majority of their efforts on preserving and maintaining what is already uncovered, and keeping it safe for tourists to visit. Techniques and tools continue to advance too. Wouldn’t be surprised if they learned about these drainages through sonar or LiDAR.

When you think they had no heavy machinery equipment and they still built these amazing structures, that is what is incredible.

It wouldn't have been completely implausible either I guess. Maybe one could roast bones to a crispy texture and eat it as a crunchy snack

Curious. Did they find wolf nibble chip remnants?
