Dude needs to learn how to read a map.
Ah-ah, now hold on there. Not "dude" - one. One is far too sophisticated and intelligent to sully one's filigreed tongue with such drab and pedestrian nomenclature as "dude", as evidenced by the robust vocabulary on prominent display in this most considered - might one even posit, scholastic - query.
Obviously a quarry. How else could you explain the huge depth markers visible in the top photograph?
This is idiotic. It was clearly done by aliens.
Qarries are the same as trenches apparently. Sea floor spreading and layers of basalt rock and centuries of expansion... clearly that's the conspiracy.
Apparently the deepest quarry is 1.2 km (1200m) while the deepest trench, the Mariana trench, is 200 km deep (200,000 m). Totally the same in scale /s
Imagine not grasping the concept of using averages to simplify visual information.
There's a better theory about the Black Sea... it was once a freshwater lake that got flooded by the Mediterranean thousands of years ago.
That massive flood was the origin of the Noah and Gilgamesh stories.

The guy who found the Titanic did underwater explorations and found the remains of the original coastline and human habitation 1,000 feet underwater:
The problem with the claim that it was the origin of the Noah and Gilgamesh stories are:
a) It happened thousands of years before
and
b) Civilizations tend to build around bodies of water. Bodies of water can flood, sometimes catastrophically.
You really don't need more of an explanation for flood stories than "most ancient people lived near places that could flood."
Doggerland was also flooded and there's also lots of evidence of people before that flood.
The scale difference between the two is hilarious.
Notice they never said what the rock that was quarried was used for.
Because nothing comes to mind with the vast amount of rock that would have been removed for it to be an actual quarry that looked like that.
They used it for the pyramids, DUH
Maybe all the rock went to Ural?mud for the mudflood had to come from somewhere!
(if you're not familiar with the new mudflood/tartaria conspiracy theories, they're wild. people just keep inventing wacky new shit to theorize about.)
I just had the mental image of a scaled up front end loader about the size of Rhode Island pushing an ungodly amount of material around. So thanks for that
As unhinged as these people are, they're a great source of worldbuilding ideas.
I’m near certain that’s satire.
I’unno, man, I’ve had people debate the validity of topographical maps because “mountains aren’t shelf-shaped”
