Didn’t something similar happen with Kitum Cave in Kenya?
That didn’t turn out well. The crystals turned out to be pure Ebola.

Pardon me, but I don’t really trust these anti-God scientists. Who’s to know whether they took their specimens back to the lab, did a little gene splicing with something else, and now claim to have brought 50k year old stuff back to life? Pass.

Not exactly. It was Marburg virus from bat droppings.

There was a documentary on the caves a few years ago. Those suits are cooling suits because it is around 120F with 100% humidity, and low/no oxygen as I recall.

We had a freeper by the name of Mother Abigail, a retired CDC scientist, who was predicting that bats in that cave would be the carriers of Ebola virus. And she had some much spookier predictions about what could lie ahead.

If you missed all of that you can find some of it here:

Too bad Michael Crichton is no longer around, to write the script for a disaster movie: Pleistocene Park, on an off-shore island, where tourists come to see cloned extinct microbes which have been brought back to life.

Funny how crystal quartz has been necessary to mankind for millennia.

Did the bacteria ask whether Helen Thomas was still around?

Man! That first line sure reads like the Cliff notes of any James Rollins novel.

Personally, I'd like to welcome our new crystalline masters...
