That’s a cool piece of history, if I remember correctly it was determined to be approximately 2000 years old. It was thought to be designed to electroplate items such as putting a layer of one metal (gold) onto the surface of another (silver), a method still practiced in Iraq today. But, there is a great deal of controversy as to what it was actually used for, some believe that the tube inside was used to protect very important documents.

Because the presence of papy- rus inside the copper tube does strongly suggest that the vessels were used to store written messages on papyrus for the afterworld, which were sealed in the vessels with asphalt plugs. But, who knows, it’s certainly an interesting topic, and one thing is absolutely for certain these items no matter their use were definitely not from extraterrestrials origin like some of the crazies have claimed.

Back then recycling was the sh!t! It might have had a different purpose before it was used for storage.

That’s certainly correct, yet 12 were originally discovered at the location in question. But apparently the Egyptians also had a power source.

It happens. A lot of times stuff posted on April Fool’s Day are done just to mess with people and see how gullible they are. We’ve all fallen for it at some point.

I like this one. My question would be who was the greater inspiration for the King Arthur stories, Owain Ddantgwyn or Riothamus?

3. Did Harte start the New Madrid earthquakes that led to a continent wide disaster while trying to dig a hole for his swimming pool?

The effect of that was my people's cultural revival, being flooded by false prophets and a nasty prophetess named Beata burning everyone she didn't get along with as a sorcerer. Then creating the Bighouse Ceremony.

Eye of the Sahara. People say it’s from an underground volcano but the rock isn’t fused correctly. It doesn’t have evidence of a meteor strike like any in history. I believe that is just a lazy excuse for the unknown. It doesn’t lay on a tectonic line. And there are no other volcanic activity near it historically. Man made imo.

Atlantis? No. Meteor. No. Mystery. Yes.

 

jeer me. Don’t care.

Like Siberia, the continent was over the largest hotspot ever on the planet before drifting to it's current position. 

New Jersey was over the same hotspot and under hundreds of feet of flood deposits there are extinct domes including an exposed one off the coast.

I thought it was several knights of the Round Table, but only one King Arthur!

The Sarmatian Laeti Theory, which was concocted by a Hungarian historian and made into a Clive Owen movie was pretty interesting but I don't consider it feasible.

Yea I agree with you, he should have gone down with Titanic and then picked up all the litter from the ship wreck on the ocean floor!

Were the people of Gobekli Tepe actually agroforesters? Not tethered nomads?
