Source. Right now.
Go. go go go.

Though we dont know if the material was possibly only used in the casings of these devices or if maybe they blew up because of some other reason like a solar flare. In any case, that catastrophe wiped out most life on earth and for a long time the earth was barren while the Iridium particles rained down to Earth and all remnants of their great civilization were eroded over the course of several millenia. Most present day researchers confuse this with the impacts an asteroid could have, which also contains Iridium and could cause a mass extinction and "nuclear winter", but that is only because they assume there was no intelligent life on Earth 65 million years ago.

THAT story makes the Creation account in the Book of Genesis seem a LOT less "out there" ma Tsmuk

Nuclear reactors are too small.

I know, I don't have the right cord though. Thanks for trying to help bro.

Oh noes, what does this mean about our nuclear reactors?????

Actually, the presence of Iridium in Earth's craters is a proof of meteorites impacting the Earth. Meteorites are a source of Iridium and that has been thoroughly proved.

Oh, I have NO problem with the meteorite impacts, I have a BIG problem with "Intelligent Life" being here before that, my Judeo christian upbringing, and my unflinching belief in the infallibility of the Bible happen to get in the way of my believing in pre Garden of Eden intelligent life.

...she's trolling, people.

Don't feed the troll.

I am NOT trolling HNM, if someone starts talking about "intelligent" dinosaurs, and I mention that believing that takes more faith than believing in the "Garden of Eden, that does NOT make me a troll. In another thread someone mentions "one of the reasons that they hate Christianity" and they are NOT called a troll.

No, there is only a little bit or Iridium in that layer. It can well be explained by the couple of tons that were used to fuel the reactors. And of course at the time it happened there were a lot - not just some 300 or so. They powered their whole civilization with them. But we dont find any traces of them because they existed only in a very small timeframe geologically speaking. Like humans now - 200.000 years, that is nothing but a few centimeters in some geological strata. If humanity would disappear, one would have to be very lucky to find any traces of us in 65 million years. Maybe with luck a few skeletons and the layer of radioactive materials that we leave behind in case we do bomb each other in a nuclear war. Maybe also some trace metals. Layers with increased content of Lead and Mercury maybe. With some luck they would find some isotope anomalies in that few centimeters. And of course a mysterious disappeareance of many species...



Oops, I guess I forgot to put in a " " in the thread before

Ah come on, this thread turned into a joke within the first 10 posts or so (points to numerous meme-postings).

That aside, what I wrote is not more or less strange and implausible than many of these other "ancient aliens" theories hypothesis ideas out there...

[Niri Te]

I agree with what you are saying Auroraglacialis, I just don't think that I should have been called a "Troll" by HNM. I was just going to make tha comment, and move on, but by calling me a "Troll", he has caused several more posts on it. Let's just DROP it. In the Military, we have this wonderful command, "As you were". It means, "I never said it, it never happened"
so in this instance, "As you were".

But it's fun. Besides, there's a difference between being facetious and trolling.

Actually, it is, because the evidence contradicts it. As I said, nuclear reactors are too small to produce the craters.

You know, Aliens...

Whatever made you think I was talking about you?

Aurora was blatantly trolling, a post which you took at face value, or else decided to respond to anyway.



This is why we can't have nice things.

[auroraglacialis]

Ah come on, I was not trolling because It hink it was so blatantly obvious that I just wrote nonense. It is humour, irony, exxagarration, parody,... you know? This thread was not serious before my post anyways.

But Clarke:

Actually, it is, because the evidence contradicts it. As I said, nuclear reactors are too small to produce the craters.

The evidence also contradicts many if not most of the other stuff about the pyramids being great tesla power stations or the mystirousness of the creation of the blocks for the pyramids (when they actually found the tools and marks that carved them and it was not laser cutters from aliens). Besides - the craters are just a coincidence and happened maybe thousands of years after the demise of the great Dino civilization - Dating is not precise enough to show it. But maybe the impact actually was what caused the reactors to blow up. (mark the last paragraph as humour btw)
