From the linked page:
quote:
Excavations at the site near the modern-day town of Provadia have so far uncovered the remains of a settlement of two-storey houses, a series of pits used for rituals as well as parts of a gate, bastion structures and three later fortification walls -- all carbon dated between the middle and late Chalcolithic age from 4,700 to 4,200 BC.
This is a town that existed before the time of Adam and Eve, and that was not washed away in Noah's flood.

Indo-Europeans
I was talking to somebody recently who said that the culture associated with the construction of this town is supposed to be the culture which gave the Indo-Europeans farming. Which ultimately transformed the entire Steppe culture.

Interesting. Over the weekend, I was lucky enough to be chatting with Clark Spencer Larsen, one of the top bioarchaeologists in the world.
He called atalhyk in Turkey the "first city". Dates there start around 7500BC.
I wonder what the difference is.

Hi Stranger.
Likely the difference is in what is considered as Europe.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Ah, right! Thanks jar. Jeez, working on a Ph.D certainly didn't make me any smarter
Hope all is well here! Been working hard out here. Well, at least, as hard as one could work while in Southern California
