Once fertile ground now submerged under the Persian Gulf may have been home to some of the earliest human populations outside Africa, according to a new report.
Jeffrey Rose, an archaeologist and researcher with the University of Birmingham in the U.K., said the area in and around this “Persian Gulf Oasis” may have been host to humans for over 100,000 years before it was swallowed up by the Indian Ocean around 8,000 years ago.
Rose’s hypothesis introduces a “new and substantial cast of characters” to the human history of the Near East, he said, and suggests that humans may have established permanent settlements in the region thousands of years before current migration models suppose.
His report is published in the December issue of the research journal Current Anthropology.
In recent years, archaeologists have turned up evidence of a wave of human settlements along the shores of the Gulf dating to about 7,500 years ago, Rose said. “Where before there had been but a handful of scattered hunting camps, suddenly, over 60 new archaeological sites appear virtually overnight,” he elaborated. “These settlements boast well-built, permanent stone houses, long-distance trade networks, elaborately decorated pottery, domesticated animals, and even evidence for one of the oldest boats in the world.”
But how could such highly developed settlements pop up so quickly, with no precursor populations to be found in the archaeological record? Rose believes evidence of those preceding populations is missing because it’s under the Gulf.
It may be “no coincidence that the founding of such remarkably well developed communities along the shoreline corresponds with the flooding of the Persian Gulf basin around 8,000 years ago,” Rose said. “These new colonists may have come from the heart of the Gulf, displaced by rising water levels that plunged the once fertile landscape beneath the waters of the Indian Ocean.”
Historical sea level data show that, prior to the flood, the Gulf basin would have been above water beginning about 75,000 years ago, Rose noted. And it would have been an ideal refuge from the harsh deserts surrounding it, with fresh water supplied by the Tigris, Euphrates, Karun, and Wadi Baton Rivers, as well as by underground springs. When conditions were at their driest in the surrounding hinterlands, the Gulf Oasis would have been at its largest in terms of exposed land area. At its peak, the exposed basin would have been about the size of Great Britain, according to Rose.
Evidence is also emerging that modern humans could have been in the region even before the oasis was above water, Rose maintains. Recently discovered archaeological sites in Yemen and Oman have yielded a stone tool style that is distinct from the East African tradition. That raises the possibility that humans were established on the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula beginning as far back as 100,000 years ago or more, Rose said. That is far earlier than the estimates generated by several recent migration models, which place the first successful migration into Arabia between 50,000 and 70,000 years ago.
The Gulf Oasis would have been available to these early migrants, and would have provided “a sanctuary throughout the Ice Ages when much of the region was rendered uninhabitable” due to drought, Rose said. “The presence of human groups in the oasis fundamentally alters our understanding of human emergence and cultural evolution in the ancient Near East.” It also hints that vital pieces of the human evolutionary puzzle may be hidden in the depths of the Persian Gulf, Rose claims.

As we sort of 'know', the dumb ass annunaki only seem to drop off at earth (their goldmine) when Planet X and it's planets passes by and away from us every 3600 years roughly. They used to use rockets to jump to and fro their home. I don't strictly hold to Planet X theories, the planet Mars may also have been a long-term drop off point.

Overspill is my middle name Nonya. I suppose I have a personal hunch that Anu, Father of the gods, is Amen, and Yahweh, the God of the bible, that he is an 'immortal' being with lots of skeletons in his closet. Then there's the good chance he and his immediate subjects are coming back in 2012, with God-knows what kind of religious pantomime blazing in the background. Now that is stretching it, I know, but then again I don't.

Glad you got that off your chest Patrick! You might have to expound on that later cuz that sounded like overspill of info. I think I am aware of most of it but if you know something we dont, you have to share ;-)

I need to get a couple of things of my chest before I go and do the last of the Christmas shopping. King of Nibiru, 'Anu', or 'God' as he is in Akhenaten's Scrapbook, is a genocidal maniac. The rest of the Annunaki are at best a bunch of supercilious twits.
Merry Christmas Everyone

Essay 21 by Sasha Lessin, Ph.D.
Based on Sitchin, Z., 2002 The Lost Book of Enki, pages 124 -127
The Story
The Adamite and Adapite Hybrid Erectus/Nibiran Earthlings were both part of a species Enki, Ningishzidda and Ninmah created in violation of interplanetary law. Commander Enlil planned to let these Earthlings drown when, next time Nibiru neared Earth and the Antractic Icesheet would slip into the sea. The icesheet's immersion in the South Sea would inundate all Earth except great peaks. Then, Enlil calculated, the Nibiran gold-mining operations on Earth would end and the Nibirans could return to Nibiru.
13, 000 years ago, when Nibiru orbited through the inner Solar System, the Antarctic Icesheet slid into the Indian Ocean. The Icesheet was huge, the accumulation of the last ice age. The Icecap created a tidal wave that overwhelmed the coast of the Arabian Peninsula then roared up the Persian Gulf. It flooded all Mesopotamia and lifted Ziusudra's boat from its moorings. The submersible tumbled but survived as waves and counterwaves bounced about the interconnected oceans. The whole Earth, save peaks, was inundated.
Piloting the boat, Enki's son Ninigal used the force of the tsunami (from South to North) along the course Enki'd indicated to Mt. Ararat (in Turkey nowadays), where the boat came to rest.
Here Ninigal, Ziusudra, Ziusudra's lineage and followers disembarked.
Commander Enlil and Enki descended to Mt Ararat as the flood subsided. Enlil saw Ziusudra with his descendants, followers, genetic starts for flora and fauna and Ningal with the submersible. Enlil was so angry he challenged Enki to fight hand to hand to the death. But when Enki admitted that he'd fathered Ziasudra, Ninmah, Ninurta and Enki convinced Enlil that Galzu had facilitated the will of the Creator of All when he gave Enki plans for the sub and strategy to save the hybrids.
Narrative Resumes
The flood waters from the Deluge, 13,000 years ago, receded; they left the uplands intact. The waters had totally carried away the Nibiran settlements and buried Mesopotamia and African goldmines under silt and mud. "All that the Anunnaki had built in the past 432,000 years was wiped off the face of the Earth or buried under miles thick layers of mud. [Sitchin, Z., The Cosmic Code, p 54] Of the Anunnaki settlements, only the raised stone Landing Place at Baalbek, Lebanon, was intact; their spaceport at Sippar was totally gone.

God in Heaven proclaimed,
"Mankind's a monster, and th' ungodly times
confed'rate into guilt, are sworn to crimes.
All are alike involv'd in ill, and all
must by the same relentless fury fall.Thus ended he; the greater Gods assent
by clamors urging his severe intent;
the less fill up the cry for punishment.
Yet still with pity they remember Man,
and mourn as much as heav'nly spirits can.
They ask, when those were lost of humane birth,
what he would do with all this waste of Earth:
if his dispeopl'd world he would resign
to beasts, a mute, and more ignoble line;
neglected altars must no longer smoke,
if none were left to worship, and invoke.
To whom the Father of the Gods replied:
Lay that unnecessary fear aside:
mine be the care, new people to provide.
I will from wondrous principles ordain
A race unlike the first, and try my skill again.Already had he toss'd the flaming brand,
and roll'd the thunder in his spacious hand,
preparing to discharge on seas and land,
but stopp'd, for fear, thus violently driv'n,
the sparks should catch his axle-tree of Heav'n.
Remembring in the fates, a time when fire
should to the battlements of Heaven aspire,
and all his blazing worlds above should burn,
and all th' inferior globe to cinders turn.
His dire artill'ry thus dismiss'd, he bent
his thoughts to some securer punishment:
concludes to pour a wat'ry deluge down
and what he durst not burn, resolves to drown."Metamorphoses by Roman poet Ovid (43 BCE - 17 CE)
