Danube Valley Civilization oldest ever?

[Delta4Embassy]

Artifacts including an alledged language are dated to between 5500-5260 BCE. If accurate, this would be the oldest form of writing ever discovered.

Is the Danube Valley Civilisation script the oldest writing in the world Ancient Origins

The alledged language in question.

Then why did it take them till 80A.D. to invent soap..!?

I mean think of the stink!!

I especially liked the Loch Ness Monster, exorcism, curse of the evil eye, levitation, and sea monster stories at Delta's link:

I was disappointed there was no Monkey Paw explanation....

Danube Valley Civilization oldest ever? Nope. The earliest agricultural village existed 9000 years ago in the Jerico area in the Near East.

True, at least the earliest agrarian site we know about so far. My hard drive just crashed in my Toshiba notebook yesterday. I had a long, long post I was going to put up on the board (with personal photos of germane dig sites), concerning the Paleoamerican Odyssey conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico, last year. Its theme, "America, in the Beginning", is the featured article in this month's Archaeology Magazine, published by the Archaeological Institute of America.

There are many fascinating theories by the New World's leading archaeologists that're throwing some serious wrenches in the spokes of convention, and they're gaining much traction with repetitious dig site evidence. In short, they can't be ignored or shoved in the closet any longer. These aren't necessarily new theories, but they're uncomfortable theories to many academics involved in New World anthropology politics, which is pretty stupid when you think about it. Why should we ever fear truth? Because such theories make people uncomfortable, or because they're heresy to Native Americans? Well yes, that's got a lot to do with it.

Long story short, there are now more than 40 Solutrean dig sites currently under excavation, that stretch from Newfoundland to south Texas. Who were the Solutrean people? Their tools are unique, especially their spear points, which had to be the inspiration for the much later Clovis point. There are only two places on earth with archaeological evidence of a Solutrean presence: Western France and North America. They were Caucasian people, and they were here in the New World 17,000-22,000 years ago, long before the numerous Alaska/Siberia land bridge (Beringia) migrations by Asians we now know as Eskimos and Indians. Current evidence points to the Solutrean migration by boat from the Iberian Peninsula across the Atlantic to Newfoundland. From there they migrated south. They came, they lived, and they died out. But they were here! Of that there can no longer be any dispute.

So too did Brazil's first inhabitants come, live, and die out. They were black people from West Africa who also got here in boats. Why not? From 20,000 years ago and much further back, humans embarked on great oceanic migrations all over the world. The Aborigines in Australia are a good case in point. Yet islands were peopled all over Micronesia, the Indian Ocean, and the South Pacific at this time, and in some cases much, much earlier, by adventurous human bands who struck out in boats. And how about our own West Coast doods? The first West Coast doods? Evidence at Chilean archaeological sites suggest they were Asian aquanauts who preceded the Beringia migrations by 5,000 years.

The migration envelope in the New World is being pushed to ever more ancient times, and it couldn't possibly be more multicultural if a band of tenured Marxists at Berkeley had dreamed the whole thing up. These are fascinating times in New World archaeology, even if many of its scientists have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the light of the obvious.

Oldest ever is in reference to the writing, sorry I didn't make that more clear.

Agriculture buddy means that some sorting of graphic accounting had to be created in order to manage the numbers and the whos.

You really need to think before you write, sometimes.

Tom, your and Delta's pose of confirmation archaeology is just silly, and you know it.
