“Around 7,000 years ago the Earth was enjoying a warm climate”>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
You mean we had global warming before and it didn’t destroy the planet...........whowoodathunk...eh???
I'm just having a little bit of trouble with putting that within the time frame. Doesn't look right.
Looks like a shank you might find in a prison.
...car keys, single socks, TV remote controls, reading glasses, wallets, etc.
If anyone sees a pair of gloves, let me know.
I knew I left that somewhere!
"enjoying"? The warmists will tell you that the Earth was "suffering" from the warm climate. Al Gore knows a fever when he sees one.
“Among these were a horse skull....”. So thats where I left my my horse tied up.
Around 7,000 years ago the Earth was enjoying a warm climate.

Probably from all of the coal-burning factories and all of the internal combustion engines running around.
Seriously, though, this must be very exciting for these archaeologists.
Now I know where all those mittens my kids lost when they were growing up went.
Fordi det var så varmt i sommer, var ikke forholdene optimale for å grave ut alle beinrestene de fant. Derfor grov de ut hele funnet i store jordblokker, som de skal begynne å pirke i om få uker.
“Around 7,000 years ago the Earth was enjoying a warm climate.”
It must have been all of those SUVs back then. You know, global warming.
“Around 7,000 years ago the Earth was enjoying a warm climate.”
That’s impossible; it has to be a lie, an invention. Humans were not using fossil fuels and driving gas guzzling SUVs all over the planet 7,000 years ago!!! Someone has planted the “stone age” articles near the melting ice just to make it look like a much warmer earth was possible, in early human times, naturally, without CO2 spewing fuels!!! /sarc
That looks a lot like a handcrafted knife that I watched being made on a PBS program called Craftsman’s Legacy this morning. The craftsman was named Tim Zawada and he started with ore sands recovered from the shores of Lake Superior. He smelted the sand until it turned into a chunk of steel and then pounded and tempered and shaped it until he had a blade to which he mounted a wooden handle. Fascinating.
Glaciers flow, just like a river. They are rivers of ice, and their great weight makes them move. Articles lost in the ice higher up gradually move downhill. Eventually, they are exposed at the bottom edge of the glacier. This may take decades, centuries, or millennia, depending on the size of the glacier.
They found it too late for her, but her heirs should ask for it to be returned.
