When humans went extinct; water shortage

Gary Larson explains the world.

Ever learn something that changes the way everything else is thought about? It's a rare experience but a transformative one. The facts in this gallery are designed to see the world in a new way, and it is hoped, there are a few not read before.

(eBaum's World) Who knew that the ancient Egyptians built the Great Pyramid of Giza while woolly mammoths were still roaming the Earth? When the Mexicans were building the largest known pyramid, Cholula, the wooly mammoths were also still trucking.

Ancient humans were so much more creative than they are given credit for but seeing as they're just the same as modern ones, that's unsurprising. A group of early humans sailed to Australia on their own, before any civilization had real means of sea travel. [Of course, they did have a means, and 50,000 years ago, aboriginals from Australia and/or New Zealand traveled to what is now the USA.]

Those blokes must have been flat-out like a lizard drinking. It's amazing early humans managed to survive at all. At one point there were only 10,000 of what we would describe as humans (Homo sapiens), and they coexisted and mated with Neanderthals and other early advanced primates.

• What the average person does not realize about this dip in human population -- going as low as 1,000 to 10,000 individuals -- is that in demographic terms, that is extinction. There is no coming back from a crash like that, at least not without help. Here, again, the ones above (akasha devas of Tavamtimsa and the Cathumaharajika Deva Loka, ETs, watchers, Anunnaki/Sumerians, angry Draconians, meddling reptilians, kind Pleiadeans, interested Lyrians, and the remainder of the 58 species that regularly visit the planet).
• There have been many ancient types of humans, and many must have coexisted at one time or another, whether they realized it or not. There were the Hobbits (Homo floresiensis) and the Denisovans.

We could have turned out quite differently, and a lot hairier. Check out those facts and plenty of others about our marvelous world in this gallery of little-known things that can change how we see the world. eBaum's World via MSN.com
