Wow, so this article from Forbes spawned this shit-storm, which in an unscientific way seems to be lumping in Younger-Dryas into this.

I can't tell if this article is a well-designed hit-piece on the theory (to link it to fundamentalist theology and separate it from science in the minds of the commoners) - or if it was an editorial mistake or just a crappy writer...

Now, do not mistake me, I'm not saying there weren't these cities, or that this may not have happened - quite the contrary. However, by jumping the gun from the scientific to theological, is a good way to derail a legitimate hypothesis, it would seem to me.

There are is some strange comments in the thread too, they look like this:

Who downvoted you? Some Fundie, Zionist, or apologist for outdated information?

This comment sits at +4 in a mainly mainstream sub... strange.

Also the thread is filled with blatant misinformation and opinion, masking itself as research:

We already know the Bible didn't really happen. For one example, there's no accetable evidence that the Israelites lived in Egypt as coerced laborers then migrated to the Levant.

or this beauty:

So nobody credible. I see.

(in reference to Graham Hancock)

Good times... thanks for rushing the point and making the theory look retarded again, just after it was coming back in the "main-stream eye"

And THAT is the extent (7 posts) regarding the Younger-Dryas in Reddit Archaeology.

Their arguments are weak, if they even actually exist and despite being an unpopular hypothesis, it seems to be receiving a mostly fair treatment from the voters, but not the commenters.
