And a 2018 genetics study suggests ancient humans may have been living in Alaska around 25,000 years ago, ... LiDAR has revealed lost monuments and civilizations.
D’Atanasio et al. (2023) found that Iberomaurusian-like ancestry was characterizing for the unsampled "ancient Green Saharan" population about 12,000-5,000 years ago, and that modern-day Fula people derive around 30% of their ancestry from this ancient Saharan population, which was "modeled as a sister group of ancient Northern Africans, or ...
Various public monuments composed of hard granite will have eroded by one metre, in a moderate climate and assuming a rate of 1 Bubnoff unit (1 mm in 1,000 years, or ≈1 inch in 25,000 years). [183] Without maintenance, the Great Pyramid of Giza will have eroded to the point where it is unrecognizable. [184]

[1] [4] It is archaeologically the last European culture many consider unified, [5] and had mostly disappeared by c. 22,000 BP, close to the Last Glacial Maximum, although some elements lasted until c. 17,000 BP.
