SiTU MEMO: ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND

WATER- SEALEVELS:

during the tens-of-thousand years, when man existed on earth is this “form”, there is a hughe variaty in see-levels and in the path of rivers and streams. Mayan temples are found, deep under water. in sinkholes and caves. It did not mean, like I heard explorers say, that sjamanic divers did build the temples and dug the graves, by holding their breath. It simply means, that the water-level was 30 to 40 meters lower and made life possible deep under ground. And there are many more of these examples.

CLIMATE AND LIVING-CONDITIONS

There was a time, that the Sahara was a lush and green environment. People lived there herding cattle and wild animals 0f many kind.

We know this, because cave-paintings were found in Algeria, showing this scenery. The cave-art was dated about 10.000 years bc.

The Sphinx, the monument which part of the Gizeh-monument, shows signs of weathering by rain and not by sandstorms. It seems to indicate, that the Sphinx is at least 14.000 years old. Climate and the changing of it, was and is a continuous process.

ICE AGES

At least 4 times our planet was struck with a dramatic fall of temperatures, resulting in an Ice-age.

Our last Ice-age laid a layer of ice, from North-America, Northern-Europe to -Siberia. It accumulated lot's of water. Life on the rest of the world was possible and some locations were excellent. In this period, 25.000 years ago, the worldmap looked different and monuments like Yonaguni, at the moment 30 – 60 meters deep in the ocean, were humans dwelled.

HABITAT AND ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT

There was a time, let's say around the birth of Jersus Christ, that is was possible for a monkey to travel from Kiev to Amsterdam. Without touching the ground. Nothern Europe was covered bij woods and affluent pastures.

This is almost completely gone. The last primal forest, not touched by man, can be found in Poland. And this eco-cathedral is under threat; roads are planned and bulldozers fell the last remnants of our prima, natural habitat.
