Random


Apparently camels may have originated in North America. The oldest fossils ever found in the world, were found in an area near N. Dakota. They are millions of years older than any other camel fossils found in the world. And around 12,000 years ago, camels died out in North America. Since camels do not travel through water, that is solid evidence that there was a land bridge (of course we all know this) between Alaska and Siberia that allowed them to move from this continent to Asia.
Just wild.
I also learned that gold came from outer space. It only bonds to itself. Gold is only reused, not used up. Therefore, you could be wearing the gold pharaohs once wore. And, gold is everywhere...just in too small of particles to find. There are only 5 major areas in the world that gold is found in large enough quantities to mine.

Ahhh, the History Channel. Absolutely amazing.

Ancient Aliens


I know the last title also had aliens in it, but this time I mean aliens. Little green men, from outer space!

P and I watched a show a couple weeks back by this title on the History channel. It was concerning the ancient astronaut theory, that we have been visited since the earliest times of man. It was so fascinating, hearing theories I've heard before (like aliens must've helped man build the pyramids) to new theories that say c.10,000B.C. paintings from Val Camonica, Italy depict extraterrestrial visitors.

Some of them I dismiss, and some...just make you think. Why not? Why couldn't they have been visited? Are we now? I don't know for sure. I can't imagine we are alone in the Universe...but does that mean the others out there can come visit us?

I highly recommend checking out this show on History channel if it comes on anytime soon. Site says not in the next two weeks. Maybe it can be rented from Netflix?

Do you believe we have visitors to our planet from another planet or galaxy? Or do you think it is all something Earthly that can explain all the sightings? I lean toward the possibility.
