I don't know where to post this, but I remembered that I talked about this phenomenon before in this topic, so I will post it here.
A few days ago, I talked with a man who claims that near his house, in a village where my father lives, there is an area called "Lake", and that there is a rocky shore with dock rings for ships, which tells us that once upon a time there was a lake in the valley of the village, where now only a small river flows. The valley is known for high moisture with a lot of fog days, but there is no lake.
I was wondering is there any explanation for the existence of a lake in the past and I found a Wikipedia article that says that once upon a time there was a
Pannonian sea in the Central Europe, during which time there were many lakes in the Balkans that now do not exist. And there is also an article about the valley of my father's village, where it is said that where now are two hills between which the river flows, in the past there was one big hill that blocked the exit of that river, which created a lake. And that at a certain point in time, the hills separated and the water from the lake flowed away.
That sounds like a reasonable explanation to me. The only problem with this story is that, officially, this all happened a few millions years ago, where there were no human beings on the planet, and nobody to make dock rings, or to remember that there was a lake and to keep that memory through the name of the area.
So, how to explain this? Have these tectonic movements on our planet really happened much more recently than how it is officially described?
