kinda expected that there where people living there those many years ago, right? i mean Jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the history of the world, so this isnt really that surprising now isnt it?

i think before this, the oldest we have found agriculture is around 12k years back, so this would push that date back a bit lol

[Kerotan]

Was the Mediterranean climate much more suitable to farming back then ?

I wonder if humans first lived in Africa or around there . Either way this is cool.

Moses was a spud picker confirmed .

This is not even close to being expected haha.

As of yesterday, farming was invented 12,000 years ago. Now that estimate has practically doubled.

Jerusalem is super old, but it's still only 5,000 years old. Jericho, arguably the oldest city ever, is still just 11,000 years old. 23k is a whole nother level.

dont get me wrong, this is a huge discovery. but if somebody told me before "hey, do you think people were farming in palestine 23k years ago" i would have said, yeah most probably. and thats how i feel about all this

[BasilZero]

Pretty sure it may be older than that ;o

There's potential!

[Max King of the Wild]

Impossible. Earth is 6k years old

Haha that's kinda like the invention of mid air holograms. So many people think they've been around for years, yet in reality they still don't exist.

Well, he did create light first and then later created the sun for light. So, he kinda gets things backwards now and then.

That's not backwards... creation of the universe and all the light within it would have occurred prior to the birth of our sun
