A lost civilization under the Persian Gulf?

 

Once fer­tile ground now sub­merged un­der the Per­sian Gulf may have been home to some of the ear­li­est hu­man popula­t­ions out­side Af­ri­ca, ac­cord­ing to a new re­port.

 

Jef­frey Rose, an ar­chae­o­lo­gist and re­search­er with the Uni­vers­ity of Bir­ming­ham in the U.K., said the ar­ea in and around this “Per­sian Gulf Oa­sis” may have been host to hu­mans for over 100,000 years be­fore it was swal­lowed up by the In­di­an Ocean around 8,000 years ago.
