The dwapara yuga is said to have ended and great power/energy is said to be buried under sea on the Gujarat coast - I always wonder if this has something to with nuclear energy!?
Yes, Darwin would have found it right-in-line with his thesis that cavemen were making nuclear weapons, just ask Avatar, but Avatar how'd they do that, and where are the ruins of the nuclear plants which they used back in Darwinian "cave man days?"
Oh good god... :bugeye: Those are wadis cutting the edge of the Gilf Kebir plateau: Wadis are river valleys formed by occasional flash flooding, and that looks like fairly typical dendritic drainage to me. They look to be filled with windblown sand too. And what's more, they have nothing to do with the impact site or the glass.
..Somehow my feeling told me the first post fluffin the ancient civilisation theme ...maybe some of the dessertglass is not created on impact, but rather by meteorites (partial) exploding midflight in the thin and cold stratosphere, wich would provide some hypothetical explanation for the aerodynamical shape, the quick cooling and the lack of air bubbles/ water vapour in the spheres...
We had a lengthy documentary on UK TV about this about two-three months back. Current thinking is that a very large meteor entered the atmosphere and caused a massive column of heated air rising up as it came down. I forget most of the technical spiel but effectively there were two columns (okay, one column and an annulus) of super-heated air. The outer one lifted sand and stuff up, and dropped it into the central column, where the tektites were formed. No radioactivity was mentioned, and the guys on-site were walking about in desert wellies, shirts and shorts. The main proponent has done extensive CFD modelling and there were pretty impressive CGI displays of the effects of different-sized meteors. Apparently the composition of the meteor has to be just right, which is why there are so few sites of this kind around the world. Ancient nuclear weapons my arse.
Can you remember what the documentary was called or what channel it was on? I'll see if I can catch a repeat.
To be quite honest I can remember neither - I'd had a long day at work, four sodding hours stood up on a train from London and it was the only thing watchable - (The Bill? no ta!) while ate my tea before collapsing into bed. Might well have been Channel Five. If it comes to me I'll post something.
Damn! Yep that was it. Channel Five? I said it had been a long day. That's the one. Quite interesting as I recall, but the lead-in had made me think it WAS going to be woo-woo piece about "ancient nuclear weapons" - but it was just the pre-programme announcer getting carried away.
"Darwinists" are not involved in evaluating civilizations only 8000 years old in the middle east. That's after agriculture, in the region. Files under archeology, not evolution. I'll call bullshit on the radiation, if no one else will. And contrary to practice, I'll do it without bothering to look up any of the evidence, or any links. All that stuff is crap, and a lot of it isn't even interesting crap any more. The desert glass is interesting, of course.
In one of the articles I mentioned there were iridium traces mentioned. Iridium is radioactive, but it is commonly found in meteors, as far as i can tell not in any form of A-bomb.
Ya I guess, Iridium can also get thrown up in the air in a major impact(65MYA event threw up a huge band of Iridium). I will retract my connection to the indian site which DID have radiation.
Where's the crater? Africa sits on Precambrian-age crust. It shouldn't be too hard to find - it just takes a little searching like what was done for Vredefort in S. Africa.
I think we had 5 ELEs (Extinction Level Events) in Earth's histroy in the last 750 million years. If you think, long ago there was a civilization between 3rd and 4th ELE, then 99.9% of the signs would be gone including if there was any items in space....by now. If such was the case, then we should speculate how to find such signs.... The other items, I am wondering is what was the Sun's output 500 million years ago? If it was high, then Mars would have been in the comfort zone, low...Venus. Something to speculate...
