You need to look up the series “FOUND”.

Everybody has something that they found that is ancient and worth millions.

Until it’s not.

Then there’s the show, “Eating History”, where the two crazy men eat “historical food” that is decades [or more] past its expiration date.

Exciting.

:D

[Salamander]

There has to be somebody to “hold muh beer”.

:D

[Kommodor]

Ah, the good ol’ Time Bandits.

Loved the bits with Connery. And Napoleon...

[Salamander]

My dad had a hilarious [to me] story about that.

I’m a girl so I never had the curiosity *or* the equipment to try.

:D

I saw a Petroglyph that was the atomic design for Oxygen. It looked like a ball with circles around it. Then you count and realize what it is. That was creepy as hell.

Practically speaking, finding something like this your first concern should be that it is radioactive as all get out.

...well things get kinda weird as the protagonist’s mind gets stretched beyond the author’s imagination.

I watch 2001: ASO up until Bowman hits the worm hole, then I usually fast-forward it or tune out altogether.

Earthquake weapon launched from space to induce seismic activity upon impact.

They are saying gator, but I think it’s a cottonmouth/water moccasin..

[Keyhopper]

Well, doing keep us in suspense. Let’s hear dad’s story😁

[Kirkwood]

It could be the source of stupidity that has infected the human race.

giant man eating catfish?

[SisterK]

Too pale for a cottonmouth
I was thinking catfish
But perhaps an eel of sorts

but I agree with you - not a croc or gator
maybe something from Australia
Australia is full of bizarre stuff

[Kommodor]

I was thinking about mentioning that wink, but wasn’t sure if my memory was playing tricks on me. Been a long time since I watched the movie, but I do remember enjoying it. Seems my favorite Python movies are the off-brand ones (Time Bandits, Munchausen, Brazil, etc)

The Daily Mail's take:

"Utah has a history of 'land art' placed in the desert far from population centers."

Maybe it’s Joseph Smith’s hidden tablets!
