Flame Suit ON!! Is that simply a flame retardant suit - or an insulated high-temperature flame resistant survival suit?

I note that after the Pope gave the OK to coffee, no more giant skeletons were found in Sicily, proving that coffee really does stunt your growth.

Way cool.
I always found it unbeliveable that humans that are genetically like us could exist for hundres of thousands to millions of years and that no civilization would arise, no stone cities were built, no intellectual accomplishments comparable to our's were achieved, and that the expansion of the human population is monotonic.
I suspect that a combination of science-establishment orthodoxy and an unwillingness to let people contemplate the possiblity of massive population crashes and failures of civilizations keeps these topics out of the light.

A party of miners working near Bridalveil Falls in California, find the remains of a woman whose skeletal remains indicated that she had stood some six feet, eight inches in heightForensic anthropologist artists have projected that the woman would have looked like this:

Giant skeletons, while unusual, are not totally off the wall.
Finding a perfectly preserved nail in rocks tens of millions of years old is another story.
I've been undergound, 1400 feet down in a gold mine, and from looking at the strata, types of rocks, and their intersections, you soon realize the magnitude of some of the events that could literally have sheared mountains in half!

Here is a dilly.
In 1567 British sea captain John Hawkins sailed from Africa with a load of slaves. Most of his ships were destroyed at Vera Cruz, Mexico.
Some of the survivors decided to walk out in an attempt to escape the Spanish. One man named DAVID INGRAM was put out at the River Panuco, Mexico, walked overland and was picked up eleven months later by the French ship GARGARINE, of the coast of NOVA SCOTIA.
With no maps how did he travel three thousand miles overland in just eleven months. He later met and told Capt John Hawkins of his adventures.
What is interesting is he claimed to have seen ELEPHANTS in the interior of North America.

I'm sure a good many of these anomalies are frauds - "gee, this pot fits the way that coal cleaved pretty well" - and I'm too lazy to dig up whether photos of any of these things exist.
But I do rather doubt that da Vinci was the first man to ponder flying machines, and that stone cities are a technology that does not date back farther than the last ice age.

[Visiting an ancient battlefield.]
Gen. George S. Patton Jr.: The Carthaginians defending the city were attacked by three Roman legions. The Carthaginians were proud and brave but they couldn't hold. They were massacred. Arab women stripped them of their tunics and their swords and lances. The soldiers lay naked in the sun. Two thousand years ago. I was here.

I've heard of the Iraqi batteries and the Grecian computer but what museum do I visit to see the 30ft human skeletons the carvings of dinosaurs and the geometric steel objects found in coal seams?

I've seen computer enhanced versions of the Patterson film.
It is plainly a female, who's breasts swing as she strides away.
Patterson swore on his deathbed it was authentic.

I've heard of a similar story about a Spanish soldier who was on station in the Philippines, went on patrol, and ended up in MEXICO! Apparently he "got lost", and ended up traveling thousands of miles in a moment's time. What is even more interesting is that he brought a story about the governor of the Philippines being murdered with him. He was jailed for deriliction of duty, and kept in captivity for several months.
Then, one day, a ship came into the harbor bearing news of the assassination of the governor of the Philippines. The soldier was acquited of the charges of deriliction of duty, and was released after the Spanish magistrate decided the man simply "got lost" while on patrol.
Fortean science is a very interesting subject.
