Eureka! Quarry near oilsands full of ancient artifacts [ Quarry of the Ancestors ]

all arctic animals have dense, oily fur.

Maybe that's why they were hanging around the oilsands... ;')

Wow that is amazing!

And all the evidence coming in now days is these creatures were very fast frozen (within 6 hours?) and stayed frozen till now.

Amazing too like the dinosaur bone found (supposedly millions of year old) and yet still carries detectable and visible traces of organic tissue matter.

Thanks for link.

Thanks for the ping!

I bet you hava a whole closet full of tinfoil hats.

They are often so well preserved that the meat is still fresh.

Solzhenitsyn has another take on how hunger can alter one's perception of freshness.

IIRC, there was a big society dinner nearly a hundred years ago in which mammoth was served.

[PghBaldy]

Well I was a bit off. Someone served a bit of meat at some paleo event much more recently it seems.

Very interesting link, everyone should read this entire link and the following pages. Then go rent 'The Day After Tomorrow". After that, do a search on Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute's site about they're research into when they expect the next ice age.

In the movie, the storms are not fully explained. Basically, they are magnetic storms that happen when the polarity of the earth flips. Such storms would be similar to hurricanes, but not necessarily forced to remain over open water. Polarity differences happen within normal storms due to physical atmospheric differences. If you take a storm based entirely on nonphysical polarity differences, it should cause atmospheric conditions to follow suit, but not be limited to the same rules of conduct that normal storms are. If such a thing were possible, what exactly would make it stop? The only thing that seems to be the answer would be the reasserting of the poles wherever they end up. How long that would take is anyone's guess.

I've written several papers over the years about this subject and keep finding more and more evidence that backs up my findings, rather than oppose them.

It would be interesting to know if the estimated time of death of these mammoths and other creatures corresponds with known periods of magnetic reversals of the polarity. That would fit very nicely into my hypothesis, lol.

One other thing to mention is that in the case of the mammoth found standing upright with the other carcasses buried above and below it. (The one with the horizontal leg vertically crushed in 12 places and no exterior skin damage.) The leg bones of mammoths have a small center hole running through the length of them, but not the same way we do. The bone itself has an extremely thick wall and would be unbelievably difficult to smash flat with vertical pressure. I can't even imagine how much force it would take in real life, or how much ice piled up on top of the mammoth while it was STILL ALIVE in order to both crush the leg before it died, suffocate the mammoth, and freeze the stomach contents within 8 hours. Mind boggling event, whatever happened.

P.S. - Wood's Hole stated at one time that they thought the earth would crash into an ice age in the next 30 - 100 years.

The magentic pole of the Earth has shifted since I was a kid, but the axis of rotation doesn't move with it. But I agree with you regarding the mammoth demise.
