The more we look the more we find, older and older stuff.

Makes me think one of my college professors was right. That many undiscovered civilizations lay buried and hidden waiting to be found, to rewrite history as we know it.

He also believed that if we could explore Antarctica, the ground under the ice that we just might be astonished and completely shocked as to what we could very well find underneath.

The results would hopefully not be like Lovecraft’s “At the Mountains of Madness.”

“He also believed that if we could explore Antarctica, the ground under the ice that we just might be astonished and completely shocked as to what we could very well find underneath”

I for one share that belief. Todays Austrailia and Antartica were once joined before the great tectonic separations. While we in north America go back 10,000 years, Austrailia has an indiginous population that thus far traces back 40,000 years. Everything about these people and particularly their oral history should be taken into
consideration because they have a record of human existance through serious climatic changes, 2 ice ages for one thing occuring here.

For those who have not sipped from the Lovecraftian chalice:

Since the weight of the ice grinds even the rock into flour, I don't think we would find much of anything.

No, he means the giant caverns in the ice that shelter a complex ecosystem preserved since the dawn of time. You know, those.

[Sherman Logan]

Ahh. I forgot about the underground dinosaurs and all that. The caverns found by the Nazis and used for their secret bases.

Thanks for reminding me.

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Thanks Palter. In Horus, a journal published by the late David Griffard, vol II no 1 (1985), Barry Fell was interviewed. Alas, DG went down in a private plane after the seventh issue. Among other things: In the middle of Australia there is a group of three or four meteorite craters called the Henley craters. They're like the Arizona meteorite crater -- not so big, but there are several of them -- and, like in Arizona, the land was scattered with pieces of iron meteorite. I think the [inaudible] dating very slow growing desert plants. They believe that the date is about 5000 years ago -- the formation of the craters. The Aboriginal name for this area is the "Place Where The Sun Walked on the Earth" -- they must have seen it! To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

The aboriginal people of Australia also painted a number of Plesiosaurs...

And yet, coleslaw didn’t appear until 39,000 years later.
