1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Scientists worldwide are amazed at a sensation will find in

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: a rock and no it's not oil. A thirty four

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: hundred year old palace has emerged from the receding waters

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: of the most so damn reservoir on the ancient banks

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: of the Tigris River. This place was huge, folks. Aside

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: from the main palace, there are several mansions and extensive

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: network of roads and even a cemetery. Archaeologists say this

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: is one of the most important discoveries in decades. How

9
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: did they find it? A drought. A drought lowered the

10
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: water table in the reservoir and bingo, there it was.

11
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: Now this discovery is important for another reason. It is

12
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: yet another reminder that climate change is nothing new. The

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: water levels rose, they covered this magnificent palace, and whoever

14
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: lived there moved somebody else. They had to move out

15
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: and they were drowned. Over Thirty four hundred years later,

16
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: a drought uncovered it again, and one day it'll probably

17
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: be back underwater or nooked, just with the reins, depending

18
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: on the Ranians. Anyway, the climate on Earth has been

19
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: changing since there was an Earth, and it's going to

20
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: continue changing as long as there is an earth, and

21
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: despite the amazing arrogance of some human beings, human beings

22
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with it, not a thing
