I have to post this. It's taken me 2 decades. The Humanities is a science. A 5-field science. But one of those fields is not plate Techtonics or volcanism.
Asia, Europe and the Lavant, have Vesuvius, as a time marker, now there is a strange scientific marvel! (but it's not a good time marker in pre-historic studies)
America has Yellowstone, as a geo-fault oddity, and as a time marker it has to be considered! (but it's not a good time marker in historic studies)
It can be toasted, that the complete depiction of human history can be summed up as an extraterrestrial ELE (Extinction Level Event) which buried the earth and all its inhabitants sometime in the pre-historic time frame. It is very, very hard to tell an archaeologist that they are wrong. It is even harder to tell them that all things on earth are retroactive and repeat with nauseating repedity. But that's the science, and without some geologists help, we are going to get stuck in this timeframe a long time, and that isn't good from the looks of things. So... when are these academic professors, going to allow us backyard archaeologists to work together, to build idiotic theories of human endeavor long past discarded in strange forms of entertainment? But I can't find any other people who have been buried in volcanic debris, neither historic nor pre-historic.
The mummy? I was against it from the beginning. There isn't even a timeframe in it! But when sociopaths insist on things, the rest of us tend to agree. What if there are Vesuvius type remains in N. America? Isn't it the students right to be informed in such a swayed science of like-minded individuals? Anything buried in volcanic ash turns to voclanic ash, and if you tried to save your ancestor who was buried in volcanic ash? Wouldn't the remains ultimately become broken, lost and finally discarded from moving them, touching them and trying to communicate with them? (pardon the guess) Especially, if you don't have scholarly labs, professional diggers and a large warehouse to use as a storage area.
Americans are Americans. Africans are Africans. Honestly, would you tell everyone you were related to me after what you just read?!!!?
Yep. I got all the above in my backyard. #42Le561 isn't an Eastern American Smithsonian number, and they haven't ever been here... I know. I have been patiently waiting... and waiting... and waiting.
