To find ancient artifacts and cities we generally have to dig for them. The older, the deeper (depending on the climate and area, of course.)
So does this mean that ever-deeper layers of earth are forming globally?
That earth is growing?
If so, are oceans receding as land rises, or is earth growing beneath the oceans as well and at similar rate,from decay of sea life?
Is polar ice keeping pace?
Is the study of strata-layers for archaeological digs hard or soft science/ meaning is there a great deal of subjective opinion involved?
Given two archaeological finds the same age:
Would a find made in a lush jungle be deeper due to much more leaf matter than a find on the relatively barren steppes, perhaps?
Does anyone know the rate of growth per thousand (A tiny amount geologically speaking)years? Has it been broken down to even smaller time frames?
Can information be extrapolated regarding how large earth was when the several oldest remains were found? When dino's were here? How much smaller was it?
A drifting mind can get into a dangerous logjam.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
