Structures constructed between 7,000-8,000 years ago (8,000-6,000 calibrated BCE). Structures constructed between 7,000-8,000 years ago (8,000-6,000 calibrated BCE) Sea levels were approximately 25 meters (82 feet) lower than present Sea level rise rate during Mesolithic was 8.4 millimeters per year
Sea levels were significantly LOWER when these structures were built, and the rise was substantial. But was it really 22x faster? 🌊
New research suggests Mesolithic sea level rise was intense, but the math needs checking.
Key facts claimed:
- Structures constructed between 7,000-8,000 years ago (8,000-6,000 calibrated BCE)
- Sea levels were approximately 25 meters (82 feet) lower than present
- Sea level rise rate during Mesolithic was 8.4 millimeters per year
- Modern sea level rise is about 13 inches per century compared to 33 inches per century in Mesolithic
- Rapid sea level rise was about 2.5 times faster than current rates
