Discovery of Sahul
Context
Archeologists have recently discovered evidence of Sahul, a lost landscape from ancient times. This discovery sheds light on how humans traveled across continents, from Asia to Australia, nearly 7,000 decades ago.
What is Sahul?
- Sahul is a supercontinent that existed around 70,000 years ago during the last ice age.
- It connected what is now known as Australia to Papua New Guinea in the north and Tasmania in the south.
- The supercontinent was exposed due to lower sea levels caused by glaciation during the ice age.
- Significance of Sahul
- Sahul served as a land bridge, enabling human migration during prehistoric times.
- Its discovery provides valuable insights into ancient human history and migration patterns.
- The revelation of Sahul, akin to an Atlantis-like continent, offers a fascinating glimpse into our planet's distant past and the remarkable journeys of early human civilizations.
