I remember in history class, at this period humans are merely discovering stone tools and discovery of fire. Yet here, researchers presented evidence of tools from boat-makers and other technology where humans navigate on deep waters? this is crazy!
Yet more evidence that Graham Hancock is right - even as far back as 10,000 years ago, humans had the technology to be a seafaring civilization with potentially a world-wide span. Could this advanced technology be the product of the ancient Lemuria civilization that was submerged when the sea-level rose after the end of the Ice Age, and is talked about in the oral tradition of South-East Asian peoples?

Back then also, as there's a subducting tectonic plate boundary running through there - the Weber Line is somewhat similar to the shape of that boundary in that area.
The ocean reaches depths of 7000m in trenches between the Sahul and Sunda shelves, and, at least during the last glacial maximum, 21K years ago, the sea level was only 140m shallower.
Graham Hancock and his theory on advanced civilizations before a cataclysm feels like it's getting more and more traction given evidence like this. The previous theories of civilization starting 6000 years ago in Mesopotamia seems like it's wrong, given how hard it is to prove strong evidence like this article and other sites like Gobleki Tepe, which is 12,000+ years old.
