This is going to shake up previously held beliefs....
First Physical Proof of Advanced Civilization Found In 140,000-Year-Old Sunken City
This kind of discovery is not just a scientific footnote, it's groundbreaking. Scientists had long thought early humans in Southeast Asia lived in relative isolation, their accomplishments and innovation limited by geography and technology.
Now, the evidence suggests a more advanced, connected civilization—a world where advanced hunting strategies, tool use, and even cultural exchange flourished. The implications ripple through anthropology, archaeology, and even climate science.
Until recently, the story of Homo erectus in Southeast Asia was one of survival, not sophistication. Traditional wisdom placed these early humans on Java Island, isolated by encroaching waters, evolving in a kind of prehistoric bubble.
But new evidence paints a different picture: a dense, vibrant population, capable of navigating dynamic landscapes and perhaps even interacting with other hominin populations. The old story of isolation is being rewritten, showing one of mobility, tenacity, and surprising complexity.
..to an early America that traded with everyone, all around the world, and didn't judge (yes, I know, the slave trade was part of that). Who fought the Barbary Pirates because they preyed on shipping. Who were everyone's free trade partner unless they gave us reason not to be.

When you have an idiot, crook and a liar (and a wannabe bully/dictator) doing the dealing... it doesn't go well.
No, it sure doesn't.
