Which leads to some credance to Atlantis being in Antarica theory or it could be in a galaxy far far away....
That would be the famous Piri reis map...
I still enjoy those old sci-fi flicks much more than most of the newer ones.
Not possible, the earth was created only 6000 years ago according to gov. Huckabee.
That would fit in with the floods in the bible, also with the Epic of Gilgamesh and Herodotus.
And most Bible believing Christians. ;-)
Try again later once you figure out what's going on.
This allowed animals and humans to move in.
NO Bible Believing Christian believes any such thing. You pride yourself entirely too much.
Thank you for the info.
Damned AGW! My limas are freezing their cotyledons off. Dropping back into the high 30s tonight.
NO, no, no... Not that one... The one where the Ancients put the 2nd stargate.
I know lots of work has been done in recent years improving bean survivability, but whenever I've planted them too early they didn't make it.
Fortunately it's above 60F all this coming week, but there's no telling about next week.
It's already a full MONTH later than you can usually plant beans, or peanuts, in Virginia.
We could be in for a serious crop failure if this keeps up, or even if it simply stops raining.
OK
Same here. It got warm, about 1 week after “last frost”; njow it’s cold again. At least a couple of dozen of them made it out of the ground.
The other beans are okay, but them limas like their night sweats.

How would a shifting of poles lower the temperature quickly enough to freeze food in the mammoth’s mouths?
You are not free to disclose that information!!!!
Fascinating stuff, archeological digs. It is even more fascinating when it collaborates or sheds details on recorded history. We know the Numadians, Hannibal’s main allies in the Second Punic War came from the northern Sahara and it was then a fertile region. Could be those elephants Hannibal’s army used were actually SUV’s which triggered the global warming that turned the Sahara from lush semitropical farmland into a desert. :->
First off, the glacial period ended about 15,000 years ago. Everything was nice and people and animals were moving North into new grasslands, with forests following, and it was Fur Shur that a new Interglacial had begun.
This gave humanity a minimum of 10,000 years to invent culture and technology before the big ice returned.
Then, bang, about 12,800 years ago it turned cold so suddenly that mammoths were frozen to death with food in their mouths and stomachs.
This is called the Younger Dryas period ~ a "stadial" ~ a brief return to some serious glaciation for about 1000 years.
All the ice hadn't yet been melted when this event happened, so when it did, and the melting stopped, the shoreline stopped rising around the world. The oceans began rising again when it was over.
Back before they'd figured out how to date these things they thought the Younger Dryas was a normal "stadial", but it seems not to have been the case.
What we really need to worry about is the present "interglacial" period. Most of them ~ the big ones ~ are about 10,000 years long. Ours started 15,000 years ago. That means we are 5,000 years OVERDUE for a return of the big ice.
Something is wrong. One theory is that with the invention of agriculture we managed to directly, or indirectly, create enough methane and other green house gases to give the Earth a critical edge on holding back the big ice.
If that's so, then efforts to STOP the creation of greenhouse gases may well give us a return of the big ice something like the Younger Dryas.
Since the normal climate of the Earth for the last two million years has been lots of ice interspersed with short, or very short warm periods, it would be wise to bone up on the words: stadial, interstadial, glacial and interglacial.
Just getting a grasp of those terms will put you head and shoulders above the Leftwingtards who want us to freeze to death in the dark.
