just because we can’t currently prove the presence of such a civilisation, doesn’t mean it didn’t exist.
What kind of utterly moronic argument is that?
The kind that will keep a religion going for centuries.
To be fair (/s), we haven’t dug up the whole Sahara yet.
That's why they're planting all those trees! Not to reclaim the land from the desert but to hide the TRUTH!!!! /S
True, but there's also absolutely no reason to act like it did exist. Russell's Teapot and all.
