Where Did This Come From?



This structure in Turkey allegedly predates Stonehenge by 6,000 years. How they can carbon date these huge rocks is beyond me as there is no organic "living" material in them. Carbon dating only works on biological specimens up to 50,000 or 60,000 years old.

Nothing to see here. More breathless speculation pushing the age of man past what Scripture indicates.

Better yet, how can they come up with a woolly mammoth that carbon dates 30,000 years difference from front end to back end? ( same critter. It must have really grown slowly, at least the back part)

IanH - the only reason they use C14dating is because it is the only process that gives evolutionists the enormous ages needed to support their fallacy.

Yes, caveats: carbon dating, bunk; the History Channel, bunk (sensationalism comes to "history"); Archeologists baffled? Can happen with a child-proof medicine bottle, not impressed; British scientists? There hasn't been one since they became atheists; etc.

However, it is interesting that it seems to have been buried. Then again, what in the desert isn't buried quickly by merely being abandoned? Age? The size is enough to be interesting. The carvings are interesting too. Though it looks more like a pagan temple than anything. Druidic in nature. Too many caveats to be sure.

Still, it is a neat story.

These things are easily explained. They were excavated. In other words, the pillars were carved where they stood and the excess material hauled away. In the case of the great pyramid, rubble was brought in to create a ramp for the huge stones to be drug on rollers to their final resting places and the rubble then removed to reveal the entire structure.

Al Sharpton says his clan built the pyramids so I guess you could email him and ask.

Either that or the dinosaurs built this stuff, carving the stones with their teeth and this is why no cutting tools were found.

T-Rex'es are now thought to have be great artists, like that horse that paints the wonderful paintings.
In this case, they were stone sculptors.

T-Rex'es loved geese and wild boar, and like Vargas of Playboy fame, when the real thing wasn't around they drew, or in this case, sculpted likenesses of their favorite things on the pillars.

There is much too much sensationalism in these findings. Most likely an attempt to scare up funds for additional work on the site.

Whatever the case, they didn't do a very good job of documenting their culture since no one has a clue as to what all this crap means. Sounds like the idiots at NASA sending satellites (Pioneer 10and 11 and Voyager 1 and 2) into space with etchings and audio recordings in case some interstellar junk dealer runs across it. They'll do the same thing - "Huh?"

Instant classic.

By the way, if those things are ever "found" it will probably be by our own great^i grand children and they won't remember. And, as you suggested, they will merely say "Huh?"... and promptly scrap them. *poof*

As for sensationalism, they are facing too stiff of a competition in that. What with "AGW", species annihilation, and other scare tactics, they are dogging it by comparison (who cares about long ago crap when we are all going to DIE!1!!1). I wonder if they have ever tried, you know, letting the thing speak for itself? Too many of us have become too cynical for tricks. They are progressives though, they only know one path. The left/wrong one.

I don't trust carbon dating since the 80's when the Shroud of Turing was dated. Test samples of a known fabric (from a table cloth made in the 1950's) were sent to the labs that did the dating. They were off by hundred's of years on the known test sample. So as for the age? who knows?

But, could it have been a pagan temple that slightly predates Noah? After all, God said the world was filled with evil. I would expect worshiping other gods might be considered evil by God. It wasn't buried in sand, it was silt from the flood!

Perhaps the cataclysmic end is because of the flood!

Hmmm, perhaps its a remnant from the antediluvian world.

sig94 said...

Doom - that's probably why they built the stone thingies, out of desperation wrought by globull worming.

sig94 said...

Anam n' Andy - I kinda doubt that this structure predates Noah's Flood for one reason - there would be a lot more than twenty feet of sand covering it and it wouldn't be sand - it would be silt that probably would have turned to sedimentary rock.

What do you expect- it's the History Channel!

I think aliens built it...
