archaeology-world ^ | AUGUST 31, 2019 | ARCHAEOLOGY WORLD TEAM

Posted on 09/08/2019 9:26:45 AM PDT by Anoop

The inner handle underwent the carbonization process, the hammerhead was constructed with iron purity, and this is only possible with modern-day technology, according to research by the Metallurgical Institute of Columbia.

According to analysis, the head of the hammer consists of 97 pure iron, 2 percent chlorine, and 1 percent sulfur.

I know, I was going by the official narrative used for so many years. To most they were still just ignorant grunting cave savages. Personally I am a very strong believer in pre-Clovis cultures...:)

That date is very much in question.

Oh, there are more... I fully respect your faith and it is your prerogative, but the idealogical Biblical narrative may have limited the depth of field when it comes to real timelines in history, especially in the geology dept.

Forget about faith. Faith is EVIDENCE of what isn’t seen. I have yet to see true science end up at odds with Scripture.

“There are more”...there are lots more... however, as I said, these “proofs” of some kind of million-year-old ancient man have proven to be hoaxes.

There is no record of man’s existence past 6000 years ago. Written history is no older than 5000 years.

My guess is human society arose at several earlier points in history but was utterly wiped out each time because it eventually embraced collectivism. :)

collectivism

I'll certainly agree that is the repeated downfall of peoples and nations.

But there is something in these location differences during the same era to consider. We tend to think of advancement of “technology” as a blanket timeline world wide applied to judge all cultures when it is a mistake. Look at right now, even at the level we are with technology, there are still many cultures living in the stone age around the world. To use technology levels to date cultures can be very inaccurate and it is ignorant to do so. :)

“Sorry Code Toad. You’re on my “No Fly Zone” list labeled as “unreasonable and can’t be reasoned with”. IMO, you’re a bad-faith poster and commentor and I’m not interested in pursuing any discussion with you.”

In other words, you’re closed minded and just want an echo chamber of your own comments. People who make ridiculous statements usually think this way...them, and children.

Gee, you have something in common with the liberals at Facebook.

“What’s your backup and verifiable support?”

Where is yours to claim there is no history beyond 6000 years? Because some priest said so?

Your theory on the rock hardening like concrete makes a lot more sense. Besides that, the “Metallurgical Institute of Columbia” doesn’t seem to exist. Searching it on the internet leads to nothing but more stories about the hammer.

From Wikipedia (an unlikely source):

Other observers have noted that the hammer is stylistically consistent with typical American tools manufactured in the region in the late 1800s. One possible explanation for the artifact is that the highly soluble minerals in the ancient limestone may have formed a concretion around the object, via a common process (like that of a petrifying well) which often creates similar encrustations around fossils and other nuclei.

J.R. Cole states: The stone is real, and it looks impressive to someone unfamiliar with geological processes. How could a modern artifact be stuck in Ordovician rock? The answer is that the concretion itself is not Ordovician. Minerals in solution can harden around an intrusive object dropped in a crack or simply left on the ground if the source rock (in this case, reportedly Ordovician) is chemically soluble.

The Hammer began to attract wider attention after it was bought by creationist Carl Baugh in 1983, who claimed the artifact was a "monumental 'pre-Flood' discovery." He has used it as the basis of speculation of how the atmospheric quality of a pre-flood earth could have encouraged the growth of giants. The hammer is now an exhibit in Baugh's Creation Evidence Museum, which sells replicas of it to visitors.

Actually not mine, It is the official theory that was used to debunk this find many years ago. But it makes sense, if mining was happening there the chance of several different powdered rocks, clay, and maybe even lime would be present. Just add water and you have a hard rock through the elemental chemical reactions.

To his credit he accurately said no “written” history beyond 6000 years ago. Written history as in a formal written language per say.

Which is precisely the problem with assuming everything culture and technology-wise was the same thousands of years ago, before the comet strike on North America in 10800 BC and the onset of the Younger Dryas Period.

People love to be near the ocean and river mouths, but the oceans prior to the strike are 400-700 feet below sea level. My contention is that the remains we find and label “cave men” etc are actually the hunters of meat and pharmaceuticals for the people who lived in the cites by the oceans. They were the rural folk of their time.
