Newly Discovered 90,000-Year-Old Human Footprints Reveal How Much Higher Sea Levels Used To Be
By Kenneth Richard on 6. May 2024

Human footprints embedded into rock that used to be a sand beach at the limit of the seashore’s “swash flow” and high tide lie 20 to 30 meters above the present sea level. The footprints are dated to ~90,000 years ago.
It is estimated that sea levels were globally about 6 to 9 meters higher than today during the last interglacial (~130,000 to 115,000 years ago), when CO2 supposedly peaked at 275 ppm (Sommers et al., 2022).

Evidence along the coasts of North Africa (Morocco) suggests sea levels were “20 m above the present level” about 95,000 years ago (MIS 5c).

This is consistent with a new study that reports human footprints embedded and preserved in a rocky beach “20 to 30 m above sea level” can be dated to 90.3 ±7.6 thousand years ago.

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
I've read that they may have  been a meter or two higher just a few thousand years ago.

Recently read that they discovered a vast subterranean ocean...ergo I'm going with the theory of tectonic plate shifting.   :shrug:

There is alot of evidence that points to that, that is deliberately being ignored to fearmonger climate change. In many cases it's the land sinking not the seas rising.

Heh.
Didn't you ever watch the old film "Journey To The Center Of The Earth" (with James Mason)...?
