A half billion year old hammer embedded in rock that
formed 400 million years ago.
In June 1936 Max Hahn and his wife Emma were on a walk
beside a waterfall near to London, Texas, when they noticed a rock with wood
protruding from its core. They decided to take the oddity home and later
cracked it open with a hammer and a chisel. What they found within shocked the
archaeological and scientific community. Embedded in the rock was what appeared
to be some type of ancient man made hammer.
A team of archaeologists analysed and dated it. The
rock encasing the hammer was dated to more than 400 million years old. The
hammer itself turned out to be more than 500 million years old. Additionally, a
section of the wooden handle had begun the metamorphosis into coal. The
hammer’s head, made of more than 96% iron, is far more pure than anything
nature could have achieved without assistance from relatively modern smelting
methods.
In 1889 near Nampa, Idaho, whilst workers were boring
an artesian well, a small figurine made of baked clay was extracted from a
depth of 320 feet. To reach this depth the workers had to cut through fifteen
feet of basalt lava and many other strata below that. That in itself does not
seem remarkable, until one considers that the very top layer of lava has been
dated to at least 15 million years old!
It is currently accepted by science and geology that
coal is a by-product of decaying vegetation. The vegetation becomes buried over
time and is covered with sediment. That sediment eventually fossilizes and
becomes rock. This natural process of coal formation takes up to 400 million
years to accomplish.
Anything that is found in lumps of coal or in coal
seams during mining, had to have been placed or dropped into the vegetation
before it was buried in sediment.
In 1944, as a ten year old boy, Newton Anderson,
dropped a lump of coal in his basement and it broke in half as it hit the
floor. What he discovered inside defies explanation based upon current
scientific orthodoxy.
Inside the coal was a hand crafted brass alloy bell
with an iron clapper and sculptured handle.
When an analysis was carried out it was discovered
that the bell was made from an unusual mix of metals, different from any known
modern alloy production (including copper, zinc, tin, arsenic, iodine, and
selenium).
The seam from whence this lump of coal was mined is
estimated to be 300,000,000 years old!
These extraordinary discoveries although bizarre, are
not unique or even uncommon. There are literally thousands of them collecting
dust, locked away from public scrutiny in the vaults of museums throughout the
world.
There are many other unusual reported finds including
the following:
The Morrisonville, Illinois Times, on June 11, 1891,
reported how Mrs. S. W. Culp found a circular shaped eight-carat gold chain,
about 10 inches long, embedded in a lump of coal after she broke it apart to
put in her scuttle. The chain was described as “antique” and of “quaint
workmanship.”
Displayed in a museum at Glen Rose, Texas, is a cast
iron pot reportedly found in a large lump of coal in 1912 by a worker feeding
coal into the furnace of a power plant. When he split open the coal the worker
said the pot fell out, leaving its impression in the coal.
Yet another report found in the Epoch Times told of a
Colorado rancher who in the 1800’s broke open a lump of coal, dug from a vein
some 300 feet below the surface, and discovered a “strange-looking iron
thimble.”
A cast iron pot found in a lump of coal.
The Salzburg Cube is yet another ancient puzzle found
by a worker named Reidl, in an Austrian foundry in 1885. Like the others, this
man broke open a block of coal and found a metal cube embedded inside. Recent
analysis established the object was of forged iron and obviously hand crafted.
The coal it was found in was millions of years old.
The list of such items goes on and on and on.
Welcome to the world of Ooparts, or Out of Place
Artifacts.
Out of place artifacts (Ooparts) are so named because
conventional scientific wisdom (an oxymoron if ever there was one) states that
these artifacts should not exist based upon currently accepted beliefs regarding
our origins and history. These discoveries are “out of place” in
the orthodox timeline of human history.
The usual methods of the conformist scientific
community, when faced with such anomalies is to attempt to debunk their
reported age, or perhaps endeavour to discredit the source of the report or
even the reporter. If this approach fails then usually the artifacts themselves
are banished to the shadowy vaults of museums and warehouses, never to be seen
again.
If these unusual artifacts were “one offs” then
perhaps one could be forgiven for accepting the view espoused by the mainstream
scientific and archaeological community that they are hoaxes or misreported
stories. However, when one realizes that thousands upon thousands of these
anomalous artifacts have been discovered and reported over the years, then one
may need to re-evaluate ones acceptance of the integrity of mainstream
archaeology and science.
Occasionally an honest archaeologist will attempt to
reveal to the public the true age and origin of such anomalous objects. They
will question the accepted beliefs of their mainstream peers. They usually find
that their career ends quite abruptly.
Unfortunately, the majority just accept what they are
taught in school and university without question. That is how our educational
system is designed. It does not encourage individuality and originality. It
purely indoctrinates one with established beliefs and dogma.
If one requires evidence of this “mainstream”
mentality, one need look no further than the realms of psychiatry. Modern
psychiatry seeks to demonize and declare mentally ill anyone who deviates from
what is regarded as the norm.
These so called “mental health professionals” have
even invented a new mental disorder named Oppositional Defiant Disorder, or ODD
(love the irony of the abbreviation).
This newly invented condition is listed in the latest
installment of the industry’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of
Mental Disorders, or DSM, which dubs people who do not conform to what
those in charge declare to be normal, as mentally insane.
So there you have your proof – I’m obviously an
unmitigated nutter and completely insane. At least that is what those in
authority would like everyone to believe!
Anyway, I digress.
On one side of the field we have the Darwinists and
their theory of evolution, trying to establish the extremely flawed view that
we have somehow evolved into highly intelligent sentient beings from a
primordial blob of gunge, miraculously brought to life by an electrical storm
billions of years ago. (Perhaps one of this cults followers could explain to me
when “consciousness” evolved, and provide proof – I await with baited breath!)
On the other side we have the creationists with the
belief that some omnipotent invisible being who lives in the clouds, waved his
magic wand about 7,000 years ago and created the earth and everything on it.
Again the adherents of this equally flawed theory rely on nothing more than a book
called the Bible for their “proof” of this concept. The fact that this book has
been bastardised during translation numerous times during its existence, has
been re-written to certain individuals personal preference on a number of
occasions, and has had many complete chapters omitted, is irrelevant to its
followers. All they require is “faith”. Proof and evidence is not a
prerequisite!
One could not get more opposing beliefs if one tried,
and both camps adhere to their beliefs voraciously, and with unshakable
fervor. Yet neither are based on any kind of factual or hard evidence.
The reality is that the origin of the human race is a
total enigma. No one, anywhere, actually knows how old humanity is or how and
where it originated. It is a complete mystery. Yet from birth one is
indoctrinated into one or the other of the above factions, with no questions
asked or alternative opinions allowed.
The problem the mainstream has with these anomalous
Ooparts is that they throw into question every single established belief there
is regarding our past.
It seems that everywhere we look, we find things that
contradict much of the scientific orthodoxy of today. The scientific
establishment will never acknowledge or admit that these artefacts are
authentic. To do so would be to admit that they are completely wrong
about our origins, and consequently, invalidate all of the text books used to
indoctrinate us and our children.
The discovery of Ooparts completely annihilates the
[comparatively recent] theory of evolution. If, as this hypothesis would have
us believe, modern humans only evolved 200,000 years ago (or thereabouts), one
has to ask how man made artefacts, found in substrata originating millions of
years ago, could be explained?
Alternatively, the advocates of creationism have a
very quaint way of “acknowledging” the existence of Ooparts, and bizarrely,
actually believe that Ooparts substantiate their world view.
Creationists just completely disregard the established
dating methods, and declare every single recognized archaeological and
geological process null and void. They would have us all believe that coal
seams, rock strata, fossils, minerals, precious stones and every other
antediluvian element, took only a few thousand years to form.
Yet the psychiatric establishment would have me
labelled as the loony for questioning this baloney. Go figure!
There will no doubt be readers who, similar to
predictable conservative archaeologists, and probably due to their
indoctrinated belief system, will also dismiss the aforementioned Ooparts as
hoaxes or forgeries. Perhaps they would like to consider and offer an
explanation for the following.
It is an accepted belief that humans and dinosaurs did
not co-exist. According to conventional academia, dinosaurs roamed the earth
between 65 and 225 million years ago, whereas the earliest upright biped
humanoid, homo erectus, only appeared about 1.8 million years ago.
However, in 1968 a palaeonthologist named Stan Taylor
began excavations of fossilized dinosaur footprints, discovered in the bed of
the Paluxy river near Glen Rose, Texas. What he unearthed shocked and
dumbfounded the scientific community. Alongside the dinosaur tracks, in exactly
the same cretaceous fossilized strata, were well preserved human footprints.
Human footprints crossing 3 toed dinosaur footprints
fossilised in the Paluxy river bed.
The immediate reaction of evolutionists,
archaeologists, and science in general, was to debunk the find as a hoax. “They
were carved into the rock by hoaxers” or “They are not human
footprints, but more dinosaur footprints that have been eroded to look human” were
the arguments most commonly proposed.
However, their line of reasoning falls somewhat flat
when one asks why only the human prints were eroded and not also the 3 toed
dinosaur prints? Additionally one has to consider, if the human prints were
carved as a hoax, how did the hoaxers manage to carve further human footprints
that continued under bedrock that was later removed from the side of the river
bed?
Since the initial discovery, hundreds more human
footprints have been discovered and unearthed, both in Paluxy and in many other
places around the globe. Either those hoaxers have unlimited time and budget –
or someone is telling porkies!
Next one needs to consider another find discovered in
100 million year old cretaceous limestone. A fossilized human finger, which was
found along with a child's tooth and human hair. This finger has been subjected
to numerous scientific tests and analysis. Sectioning revealed the typical
porous bone structure expected in a human finger. Additionally a Cat-scan and
MRI scan identified joints and traced tendons throughout the length of the
fossil. This is one find that science cannot explain away as a hoax.
Cat-scan of a human fossilized finger shows dark areas
showing the interior of bones and bone marrow, along with tendons.
There is however another find of recent years that
blows all of the others into a cocked hat regarding age.
Over the past few decades, miners near the little town
of Ottosdal in Western Transvaal, South Africa, have been digging up hundreds
of mysterious metal spheres. These spheres measure between 25 and 100 mm in
diameter, and some are etched with three parallel grooves running completely
around the equator. Two types of spheres have been found. One is composed of a
solid bluish metal with flecks of white, the other is hollowed out and filled
with a spongy white substance.
These spheres are reportedly so delicately balanced
that even with modern technology, they would need to be made in a zero gravity
environment to attain these characteristics. These
objects have become known as the Klerksdorp spheres.
A Klerksdorp sphere
Geologists have attempted to debunk these artifacts as
natural formations or “limonite concretions”. They fail to explain sufficiently
how these formations occurred naturally with perfectly straight and perfectly spaced
grooves around the centers.
Perhaps the real reason for such fervent attempted
debunking by the scientific community, is that the rock in which these spheres
where found is Precambrian – and dated to 2.8 billion years old!
Whether one wishes to accept these out of place
artefacts as genuine or not is I suppose, down to personal beliefs.
Evolutionists refuse to accept them as to do so would
mean re-evaluating their whole indoctrinated belief system. They will even
stoop to producing outright fantasy in their attempts to discredit these
discoveries. If that fails then they will just pretend that they do not exist,
and then hide them away – forever.
Creationists on the other hand willingly accept them
as some bizarre kind of proof that the universe is only about 7,000 years old,
and totally ignore any evidence, from any source, to the contrary. They
continue to cling to a medieval belief system based purely on blind faith. How
quaint.
Personally, I don’t belong to either camp. I keep an
open mind regarding our origins. I don’t have any particular “philosophy” on
the subject but rather prefer to adapt my understanding as new evidence becomes
available. My only current belief based upon all of the available facts to date
is that the human race has inhabited this planet for millions of years longer
than is presently accepted.
I realise that I will never discover the answer to the
question of our origin. The human race has been searching for this answer since
the dawn of time, and it still evades us.
Everything we have been taught in our schools and
universities about our origin and history, is based upon nothing more than
speculation and hypothesis. There is not a single provable fact out there that
conclusively answers the question “where do we come from”
What I will continue to do however is question
everything, and not just blindly accept any mainstream viewpoint because it
happens to be fashionable at the time.
If that means one day I get a knock at my door from
men in white coats holding a straight jacket, then so be it……
