Reintroduced gray wolf found dead in Larimer County, Colorado One of 10 gray wolves reintroduced to Colorado in December was found dead in Larimer County, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service confirmed. Federal officials found out about the wolf on April 18, agency spokesperson Joe Szuszwalak said in an email April 23. Initial evidence shows the wolf likely died of natural causes, Szuszwalak said. U.S. Fish and Wildlife officials will investigate the death under the Endangered Species Act, and the wolf's carcass was sent off for a necropsy to determine cause of death. https://phys.org/news/2024-04-reintroduced-gray-wolf-dead-larimer.html

I DON'T WANT TO BE IN ANY GANG THAT YOU ARE IN! Did I already post this? I feel like I am starting to repeat myself?

It was just for Harte really, Craig seemed to know of “sources”. What sort of archaeological evidence do you mean?

The carbonized remains of an ancient papyrus scroll from Herculaneum have yielded long-lost information concerning Plato, including his exact burial place as well as details about his demise into slavery. Located near the iconic site of Pompeii, Herculaneum was obliterated by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE, leaving the town – and its large collection of papyri – preserved under ash for thousands of years. Like many other scrolls recovered from the historic site, the papyrus in question is in good condition but largely blackened, thus rendering it virtually unreadable. It contains a section of the History of the Academy of Philodemus of Gadara, which forms part of Philodemus' Review of the Philosophers. https://www.iflscience.com/platos-exact-burial-place-revealed-by-charred-papyrus-near-pompeii-73944

Phoenicians first settled in Lixus in the 8th or 7th centuries BC and the city had become part of a chain of Phoenician cities along the Atlantic coast of ancient Morocco; other major settlements further to the south are Chellah (called Sala Colonia by the Romans) and Mogador. When Carthage's empire fell to Rome during the Punic Wars, Lixus, Chellah, and Mogador became outposts of the province…. Lixus Wiki https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lixus_(ancient_city) Now, Mogador is said to be ancient Arambys… ETYMOLOGY. The original Phoenician name for this ancient outpost was ‘'Arambys'‘ deriving from the Phoenician phrase ‘'Har Anbin'‘, meaning ‘''mountain of grapes'‘ (Encyclopedia Phoenicia, 2007). Subsequently the site became known as Mogador, after the Phoenician word ‘'migdol'‘ for watchtower. https://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=17926 SO….Lixus then south to Arambys… BUT Hanno has it like this: A day’s sea journey beyond this lake we founded five new cities on the coast called Karikon-Teichos, Bytte, Akra, Melitta and Arambys. Passing on from there we came to the large river Lixos, flowing from Libya, beside which nomads called Lixitae(2) pastured their flocks. We stayed some time with them and became friends. So that’s weird….

Deepstaria looks like a cross between a ghost emoji and a floating plastic bag, but don’t be tempted to underestimate this shape-shifting jellyfish: it’s among the largest and strangest invertebrate predators of the deep sea. There are two recognized species of Deepstaria – D. enigmatica and D. reticulum – named after the US research sub Deepstar 4000 that first discovered the genus in the 1960s. On the taxonomic family tree, they are part of a class called Scyphozoa, which are typically referred to as true jellyfish. However, Deepstaria has some significant differences from their other jelly relatives. https://www.iflscience.com/deepstaria-a-giant-deep-sea-jelly-that-houses-a-tiny-isopod-pal-73935

Craig's book is utter bull**** and there is no archeological evidence whatsoever.

Update: Weapons chest found on wreck of 15th-century 'floating castle' sheds light on 'military revolution at sea' https://www.livescience.com/archaeology/weapons-chest-found-on-wreck-of-15th-century-floating-castle-sheds-light-on-military-revolution-at-sea

I remember some crazy guy had a web site that featured every picture from the surface of Mars that looked remotely like something living on Earth as proof of Martian life. For example, he concluded that the round rocks they found on Mars that NASA called "blueberries" had to be fossilized berries. There was simply no other reasonable explanation. Of course we find round rocks near water sources all the time but... these were fossilized berries, dammit!

https://www.space.com/seti-chief-bill-diamond-ufos-alien-visitation This is the point I keep making: there are all these claims, from Roswell onwards, that the US Govt/USAF/CIA has recovered various crashed alien spacecraft - and yet they have somehow kept every single one secret from every single scientist, including everyone at NASA whose job is to look for alien life ...... why? One obvious reason

The absolutely incredible discovery of several fully articulated shark fossils from the Late Cretaceous, 105 to 72 million years ago, is shedding some much-needed light on the mysterious shark family tree. In the Lagerstätte fossil beds of Vallecillo in Mexico, paleontologists have made the find of a lifetime: several exceptionally well preserved fossils of an extinct genus called Ptychodus. These fossils preserve not just the sharks' articulated bones, but some of their cartilaginous structures, outlines of their entire bodies, and possibly even organs. These details reveal how the sharks' teeth and vertebrae fit in with the context of their bodies, a new tool for estimating their sizes and where they fit in, phylogenetically. https://www.sciencealert.com/stunning-remains-of-great-white-sharks-giant-ancestors-reveal-a-surprising-diet

This looks an interesting read, maybe the author has more sources. To me, it doesn’t matter all that much, the stories told were often oral, historic exaggerations of events, times, who knows what was going on or being passed on where. Where did Homer get his sources? Can we even believe the sources? It’s more about fitting jigsaws together, puzzles, if you might….of matching parts of the stories, myths, histories etc to possible real places, people etc, using descriptions given….looking for their inspirations, which may hold a kernel of truth. That’s whatI get out of it. Why has Diodorus written such things? Just a story? Did he just mix and match everything he knew, he clearly knew Herodotus had Lake Triton in Tunisia…..why place it in Okeanos? Maybe we are missing a piece of the puzzle somewhere…, that’s what I’m looking for.

foul play

He deserves (much) credit for keeping Garland out of SCOTUS, but he no longer appears to be helping forestall American degeneracy. He should retire with his millions somewhere and relax.

Yeah, it's called Pluto. #neverforget

The "transit method" where they watch it crossing the front of the star.

Sometimes is easier to observe things in the distance as you can see the whole "picture" than observing yourself in the picture.

Iranian Dissident Rapper Sentenced To Death Iranian dissident rapper Toomaj Salehi, who was among the icons of Iran’s 2022 protests, has been sentenced to death on charge of “spreading corruption on earth.” A revolutionary court in Tehran has issued the verdict, Amir Raisian told SharghDaily on Wednesday. “Spreading corruption on earth,” along with "Moharebeh," is the highest crime in Iranian law and it is punishable by death. https://www.iranintl.com/en/202404240714 What an absolutely despicable regime. I truly feel sorry for its citizens.

People either think Trump is never going to spend a single night in jail and people thinking he's going to be sent to Riker's Max. If he goes to jail, he's going to a country club jail where secret service would be irrelevant. Technically, he should be going to Leavenworth, but that's not going to happen.
