Fascinating. But I’m always of skeptical of anything prefaced by “According to the Russian newspaper Pravda . . .”

I hate these threads. They are always very interesting to me (archeology, etc.), but they never have pictures of the discovered objects. Certainly digital photographs exist even in the Ural Mountains.

Then again, much of the ancient world was more advanced than much of the modern world!

Were there predecessors of homo sapien that long ago?

So who created such an accurate relief map over 100 million years ago?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Humans did not exist 100 million years ago.

Humanoid reptilians? The greys? LGM? Or maybe that theory that says we weren’t around 100 million years ago is flawed?

at 72dpi (web size) you’re not going to see anything very detailed. I’d like to see a rubbing of the hieroglyphs supposedly unknown or unseen before.

It’s happened before. It will happen again. Do do do do. do do do do. bwaaaahaaaa.

Not a 100 million years old. It’s fairly recent in time. DOn’t believe the hype.

Dinosaurs didn’t know how to carve in stone.

Wait! Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WVa) might be that old, and he’s an old dinosaur, the last of his type. Maybe he did it.

I’d like to see it in comparison to a modern map or aerial photograph of the area in question so I could apply my own judgment of how much resemblance there is.

Well, Pravda has gotten more things right about happenings in the US over the last 6 months than our own MSM. Maybe they have been listening to Rush, LOL.

Here is a comparison photo of the supposed mapped region:

At this resolution it takes me an awful lot of creative license to discern any feature similarities.

As an additional note, I am completely puzzled at how a sedimentary formation (dolomite) can be accurately dated, since it is by definition formed from existing, older materials. It is also worth mentioning that diopside, far from being the extraordinarily hard substance the article portrays, is a soft semiprecious jade-like mineral. It is so soft, in fact, that special care must be taken when cutting it into faceted pieces for jewelery lest the stone be scratched and ruined. Oh, and that thin coating of 'porcelain calcium' looks more like partial erosion of a calcite layer of the dolomite itself.

Regardless of the actual or apparent age of the slab, without a more clear and detailed photo of the claimed topographical relief map (not to mention of the potentially more telling hieroglyphic markings), I am skeptical that it is anything other than a natural sedimentary rock formation.
