For your ping list consideration. I don’t generally believe this stuff but I keep an open mind about it and it is much fun to read about and speculate on.

Scientists found that the ore of this mine contained abnormally low proportions of U235 such as found only in depleted uranium fuel taken from atomic reactors.

So please tell us how an ancient civilization mined uranium, enriched it, and then put back the depleted uranium as ore again.

Albion W. Hart, one of the first engineers to graduate from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was assigned a project in the interior of Africa. While he and his men were traveling to an almost inaccessible region, they had first to cross a great expanse of desert. At the time, he was puzzled and quite unable to explain a large area of greenish glass which covered the sands as far as he could see.

"Later on during his life," wrote Margarethe Casson in Rocks and Minerals (No. 396, 1972), "he passed by the White Sands area after the first atomic explosion there, and he recognized the same type of silica fusion which he had seen fifty years earlier in the African desert."

MIT was founded in 1861. Let's say that Hart graduated in 1870 at the age of 22 (I'm being generous here).

Trinity happened in 1945. That's seventy-five years. Hart would have been 92 at the time of the explosion. And I doubt he would have been able to go anywhere near the site until after he was 100.

The only references I could find to Albion W. Hart were circular - the same reference recycled across mutiple website entries interested in this subject. I call bogus.

Maybe the Apocalypse already happened, and the promise God made that the next devastation would be fire and not flood has already occured. Maybe the whole story is racial memory, and we’re just building a palimpsest civilization on the ruins of the true world.

[concerned about politics]

The Book of Geniuses starts out with the Earth that was - and it was null and void. Each seed grew after it's own kind, as if the seed was already here. That means the Earth was already here and renovated. There very well could have been other life forms before us.
In many different Religions, there have been "ages" before ours. I think it was the Aztec's (?) that claimed there have been 6 ages, or Earths, before ours. This one is suppose to be the last chance.

Yeah. I can believe the Earth was used before. Why not?

Interesting article, but it begs one enormous question: Nowhere in the article does it mention radioactivity - certainly even thousands of years later, there should be some residue detectable by Geiger counter.

The problem with the Ancients were as technically advanced as us hypothesis is plastic & aluminum

If the ancients were able to make nuclear bombs than they most certainly would have been able to make plastic and being that plastic last forever, where are the plastics artifacts?

If Obama drives to world into a Mad Max scenario and/or the ice age comes back, 100000 years from now, some future archaeologist will still find my Styrofoam clam shell that my Big Mac came in back in 1975.

Same with Aluminum, up until modern smeltering techniques 75 years ago, Aluminum was rarer than gold. Where are the Aluminum artifacts?

Residual radiation well above normal background count should last for thousands of years. If it’s not there, it wasn’t nukes.

Didn't anyone on this thread see the end of Battle Star Galactica?

Why nuclear war? A solar mass ejection would do the same thing...

[GOPJ]

Hmmmm, I wonder if the effects of a nuclear explosion can go back in time. Some of those sites sound like ones that will be nuked in the future... ( Works if earth is like the inside of a train...)

When God decides to destroy a city he does not need to use nuclear bombs.

I watched a documentary about “how the earth was formed” and they spent a lot of time talking about the Libyan fused green glass. They showed pretty conclusive evidence that it was from a meteor. There was rock present with high iron content that wasn’t native to the area and a large impact crater.

I don’t need any of your proofs of pre-historic nuclear wars and the way you worship them as idols; I believe in the ONE TRUE nuclear war on FAITH alone.

uhh, sorry, I got lost over here on this thread after wandering over here from the Shroud of Turin thread....
