Mainstream convergence theory fails; rock-cut graves are rare and Europe-specific

Mainstream convergence theory fails; rock-cut graves are rare and Europe-specific. Mainstream explanation uses 'convergence' theory (like crab cakes evolving independently) Rock-cut graves are NOT convergent because they are a terrible solution rarely adopted Found only in Europe, not elsewhere in the world unlike convergent examples

Here's the puzzle: mainstream archaeology discusses 'convergence' in burial practices (like crab cakes evolving independently worldwide). But rock-cut tombs are geographically concentrated in specific regions, often clustered in certain areas rather than widespread, and sometimes appear near cemeteries using different methods. That raises questions about the convergence model 🧐

Key facts claimed:

- Mainstream explanation uses 'convergence' theory in burial practices (like crab cakes evolving independently)

- Rock-cut tombs may not fit typical convergence patterns since they require specific geological and cultural conditions

- Rock-cut burial traditions show regional clustering, concentrated in areas like the Mediterranean, Near East, South Asia, and East Asia

- Crab cakes exist everywhere globally; rock-cut tombs show more limited, clustered distribution

- Rock-cut burial practices can be localized to specific regions, with cultural preferences varying nearby

Key facts claimed:

- Mainstream explanation uses 'convergence' theory (like crab cakes evolving independently)

- Rock-cut graves show less clear convergence patterns compared to ubiquitous examples

- Rock-cut tombs are found globally, including Europe, the Mediterranean, Middle East, Egypt, South Asia, and East Asia—but remain geographically concentrated compared to crab evolution

- Crab cakes exist everywhere globally; rock cuts are geographically limited

- Rock-cut graves show regional clustering, appearing in specific areas while absent in geographically nearby regions using different burial methods

Key Facts

• Mainstream explanation uses 'convergence' theory (like crab cakes evolving independently)
• Rock-cut graves are NOT convergent because they are a terrible solution rarely adopted
• Found only in Europe, not elsewhere in the world unlike convergent examples
• Crab cakes exist everywhere globally; rock cuts are geographically limited
• Rock-cut graves are niche practices limited to single villages, absent nearby
• Next to every stone-cut cemetery exists another cemetery of same date using different burial methods
• Carthaginians used rock cuts in Tangier and Sardinia but not in Carthage itself
• Rock cuts are 10x less common than dolmens among prehistoric megalithic constructions
• Academics allegedly refuse to admit mistakes about dating
