• Megalithic culture - seafaring?

    From Mario Petrinovic@21:1/5 to All on Thu Nov 4 15:13:36 2021
    Judging by this map, this culture should be transferred by sea, all
    these areas depend pretty much on sea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prehistoric_Iberia#/media/File:Megalithic_Culture.PNG

    And it's like 100,000 years younger than the earliest evidence of water crossings. There is even physical remains of a human in California, or
    what is an island today but was still an island in paleo times, that is
    easily twice as old, and then some.

    It's just not a very interesting observation -- boats in use 5,000 years
    ago...

    We don't need a single people, by the way. Culture spreads even if the
    DNA stays unique. All we need is contact between groups to explain
    a shared culture.

    I am not talking about water crossing, I am talking about "worldwide"
    heavy cultural influence, which transferred by the way of seafaring.
    I mean, this is on the level of Roman Empire, only we don't have
    letters, and we don't have stone buildings simply because we still don't
    have metal tools to make them. But everything else is just the same. At
    that time you even couldn't make planked ships. Yet, you have so large
    spread cultural influence.
