ARCHEOLOGY: 8000 YEAR-OLD PIROGUE FOUND IN LAKE BRACCIANO
(AGI) - Rome, Italy, Aug 1 - An 8,000 year-old pirogue was found in Lake Bracciano, in the area of the neolithic village La Marmotta. "It's an exceptional example of ancient ship engineering, which proves the advanced knowledge of the peoples who lived here in 6000 BC" say the archaeologists who made the discovery, of the Prehistoric Museum 'Luigi Pigorini' in ROme. More than 10m long, made out of a single oak trunk, the pirogue was still being made when it was abandoned for reasons we still don't know. It was found at a depth of 10 metres. The boat will be displayed in late September, at the town hall of Anguillara Sabazia. Research at La Marmotta is being carried out by a team led by Maria Antonietta Fugazzola, with the cooperation of Lazio's archaeology superintendence. (AGI) -

1. How can that be?

I thought the earth was only 6000 years old? (At least according to the creationists) :shrug:

edit for spelling

3. Clearly this settlement/boat

is from a previous earth.

6. Ok...thanks for the explaination.

I keep forgetting about the previous earth. LOL

8. Pardon my ignorance

but is that previous earth really a theory they hold or just a little joke?

9. A little of both.

Premillenialist Christians believe that Christ will return and establish a 1000 year kingdom here on earth after which God will create a new heaven and a new earth. I'm just extending the concept backward.

10. Hrm...

4. Holy crap. When I first saw the heading, I thought it read Pierogi.

8000 years old would be quite disgusting!
