Once a date is set in stone, it's hard as hell to question it and be taken seriously.
The problem is questioning it based on little more than flights of fancy. Archaeologists don't just pull dates out of their rear, they have hard data backing their claims up. The same thing counts for geologists who say that a given formation is naturally occurring.
If you want to be taken seriously you need to have qualifications, hard data, and a reasonable explanation. If you lack even one of those it is unlikely that you will be taken seriously, and for good reason.

So, let's go back to the monuments I mentioned that you so lightly ignored. There are some stone ring monuments that start out on land and go right into the ocean, implying that they were built before the end of the last ice age when the ocean level was much lower. But that predates the supposed first civilizations by thousands of years.
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough when I spoke about data and qualifications:
Cite?
The only thing I can find with a broad search for underwater stone rings is a formation off the coast of Yonaguni-jima, Japan, which geological experts explain as a natural formation. The counter claim by the utter novices quoted amount to "But the edges of the stone are flat!" as though they had never heard of cleavage planes before.
But you know I could be completely off base considering you are making claims without even the slightest effort at referencing any real data to let me know what you are talking about. Which of course comes back to the real meat of the issue itself.
