Like the spark plug found in a coal steam in Australia?

The identity of the geologist and the means of dating were never clarified, nor were the findings ever published in any known periodical.[1] Furthermore, at the time of the artifact’s reported discovery there was no method for dating the concretion.[4] There are examples of accretions surrounding iron or steel artifacts, some of them discussed by J. M. Cronyn. [5]

Stromberg accepted and also arranged for the artifact to be inspected by a geologist from the University of Washington Earth and Space Science department. The inspections confirmed the previous conclusion that the artifact was a 1920s-era Champion spark plug

Maybe 'the same structures pop up' because they were based upon formulae natural to the minds of the times - or at least to some, and then shared.

Maybe travel, and not 'tectonics', had something to do with it.

There's so much that we don't know - but that doesn't mean that we can't re-discover it all.

Yeah, I agree.

Only the bottom courses of the Great Pyramid are granite. The rest is mostly limestone which is far, far easier to work by hand and cut relatively square with axes. More intriguing to me is the fact that the Egyptian people of that epoch supposedly only had copper tools. So how do you cut stone - even limestone, with soft copper tooling? Where are the tools used for that massive building project? The ramps, giant cranes and pulleys, River barges for shipping the blocks from the quarries at Aswan. Massive amounts of “heavy equipment “ just vanished. That, to me is even more mysterious than the pyramids

The proof is in the pudding.

He kept talking how they could have done it with a tuning fork, even theorized what the parameters should be, but never got around to demonstrating one actually working.

The polymer concrete theory seems reasonable.

I learned that steel is a non-ferrous metal!

That was not what was said in the video.

"She insists, incidentally, that these were definitely not non-ferrous, but "steel"."

How the ancients cut stone with microwave ovens

Several years after this, they developed plasm cutters.

Nothing matches my sadness about the torch the Democrats are putting to the U.S. Constitution.

But did they consider the possibility that that 1920s-era Champion spark plug time-traveled back 70 million years and Oog threw it into a peat bog which became coal?

If it was possible to cut stones using tuning forks, we should be able to do that today. We can cut things with sound by using powered ultrasonic cutters, but not using unpowered tuning forks.

Just as an aside, I found a 22 bullet in my sluice box one fine gold prospecting day with a perfect ring of sandstone formed around the lead / brass junction. The accretion was nearly the diameter of the bullet itself.

My thought was the galvanic action of the dissimilar metals in the acidic biological activity in the heavenly organic laced deposits caused a binding process for the streambed sand. The material was as hard and visually identical to sandstone.

This indicates that mineral deposits from cataclysmic flood events like rain soaked mud slides can cause far more rapid sand stone formations than current theoretical dating methods if the mineral deposits contain dissimilar metal deposits.

Just thought you might be interested...

"I’m am quite saddened by the destruction of the Library at Alexandria.

Erasing all that knowledge from the past, it’s an amazing act of ignorance."

Didn't the final total destruction take place in the 7th century by the ROP?
