    And it turns out the Dolphin skeleton isn't 8,000 years old after all. The local archaeologist noticed saw marks on the bones, did a bit of delving and discovered the house had once been owned by a Victorian artist who ran an art school there. Thoughts are he buried the carcass in the garden to deflesh it, and forgot all about it.
    Ach weel.

    Visited Cohokia in 2009 and I'm still amazed/ confused as to just what they were doing. But then again, when you don't have politicians, organized religion, the mainstream media, or the Internet what's cha going to do ?? Build stuff.
    Then again, when you see what they actually accomplished, I'm convinced they were far more advanced than modern Humans !

    Um, they piled dirt up, etc. It was a religious duty and they did it probably one day a week. I climbed that feckin' mound a few years ago. Damn near killed me.

    Well yeah ! What else was there to do ?
    I won't say I jogged up the steps and I may have taken a few minutes, okay a half hour, but we made it. St. Louis looked a lot better from there.

    Yeah, you can see St. Louis Downtown Airport from there. Oh, and it's in Illinois. I wonder how many people fall for that?

    And another two alleged new human species.
    "Scientists may have identified a new species of human after investigating a skull belonging to an ancient child.
    A new study published in the Journal of Human Evolution has attempted to shed light on the fossilised remains recovered from Hualongdong, China, in 2019 that did not appear to fit with any known human lineage.
    Archaeologists uncovered a fossilised leg, skull and jawbone, with the latter two items proving the most puzzling.
    They said the features exhibited by the skull and jawbone did not match Homo sapiens - modern humans - nor our distant cousins the Neanderthals and Denisovans.
    The unusual departure from documented lineages has led them to suspect they have found a missing branch from the hominid family tree."
    www.express.co.uk/news/science/1799740/Scientists-ancient-skull-human-species

    'Scientists may have discovered a new human species for a second time this week.
    Anthropologists in France found a 45,000-year-old pelvic bone of an infant, which is neither a match to Neanderthals nor Homo sapiens.
    The hip bone was found with the remains of 11 Neanderthals in the Grotte du Renne cave, later settled by anatomically modern humans (AMHs), suggesting the child coexisted with the now extinct species.
    The artifact was compared against two Neanderthal and 32 modern baby bones, finding its shape was different from both species - but slightly closer to AMHs.
    'We propose that this is due to its belonging to an early modern human lineage whose morphology differs slightly from present-day humans,' the team wrote in the study published in Nature.
    The news comes as a separate study revealed an ancient skull that belonged to a child who lived up to 300,000 years ago in China may also belong to a new human species.'

    "Antarctica's lost 'ancient forest' found deep within continent's hulking ice
    The icy continent stunned researchers after they found evidence of a long-forgotten forest deep within its ice sheets.
    As the Earth's fifth largest and most southerly continent, Antarctica has captured the attention and imagination of countless people.
    Temperatures there regularly drop below -90C, making it one of the most inhospitable places on the planet.
    The breakthrough discovery was made after a mission found fossilised plant roots preserved under the ocean since the time of the dinosaurs.
    Explored during the science journal Nature's short documentary, 'An ancient Antarctic Rainforest', the narrator noted: "It seems this freezing landscape was once home to a lush forest."
    Dr Johann Klages, a scientist from the Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany who led the research, said: "90 million years ago, a temperate rainforest existed in West Antarctica only 900 kilometres away from the South Pole."
    He and his team set out with a special drill to extract a core of material around 30 metres into the sea floor in 2020, finding that the annual mean temperature of a strip of western Antarctic coastline was 12C.
    This would have seen the region enveloped in a swampy rainforest environment."

    There's a large spaceship and a very aggressive alien down there, too. Looks a lot like James Arness.

    The Arcturians are here to protect us from "aggressive aliens"
    [​IMG]

    In the latest Congressional hearings there are at least 57 different alien species known to us. It turns out that most of these species are humanoid (bi-pedal etc etc) - This apparently has left the scientists baffled as they predicted many different versions of intelligent life forms...Well, once again its left up to me to explain. "Form fits function" - Its possible an octopus type creature could be intelligent (as ours are too) but still needs hands and fingers to be able to manipulate objects to study them and to create/build complex things...Its not really surprising to me. I would keep a strong eye on the hearings that are being released to the public. So far we know the government did indeed retreive a partially damaged space craft in Roswell as well as "biologics" both dead and alive. We know that several fully intact space craft have been obtained - We know that the government has back engineered alien technology - We know that there is such a large crashed spaceship that was too big and heavy to move, so a building was built over it - And it has been stated that it is known of the "exact" locations of all these space ships and aliens.
    I could go on with what else ive learnt but am yet to hear it come out of the hearings...

    I can tell you exactly where that building is. (NOT kidding. I was in the area when it was built.)

    I’ve been enjoying a mental exercise of trying to guess what building it might be…(hoping it was one I might know)… Could you at least give me a state?

    Here's the building:

    [​IMG]

    And here's what they were parking there:[​IMG]


    The foundation was poured, something that couldn't be seen from I-5 because of trees between the pad and the highway. Then "overnight" they put up the walls and roofed it in. If you didn't go south on I-5 every day you would miss the intervening construction stages.

    And it's SoCal, so the filbert factory was in full operation.

    Oops, forgot the name of the base, Camp Pendleton. seventeen miles of SoCal beach front that is totally, almost, undeveloped.

    Cool mate..! The image of what was parked didn’t come through though…

    It’s a tad boring and unassuming…perfect actually (how I want the outside of my house that I don’t have to look). Pretty cool that I’ve seen it now though…

    Thats the US Congress...I would log into the hearings...Disclosure is happening now...No one has denied anything yet. The locations have been submitted - The treasury is confident of information forthcoming or they will defund projects. The world sleeps as this information is being deseminated...As predicted. The story is MUCH larger than is being admitted at the moment (bases on the moon/mars - Battles with other species on other planets outside our solar system etc etc)
    Of course there is STILL no smoking gun...But its now up to the government to investigate to disclose these programs and locations and what is inside...What they will tell the public is another story - They may well censor their own information to keep status quo...
