Of course a shoe doesn't prove the existence of an ancient civilization, I'm not sure why so many people keep repeating that. According to the article they found "a wealth of items that include weapons and shoes among other everyday items."

Here's an article on the pole shift theory:

[link to viewzone2.com]
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1104274

there are in fact several different Pole Shift Theories, it is a branch of theory that has many twigs and many leaves, there isn't just one Pole Shift Theory... Charles Hapsgood's theory is A Polar Shift Theory, one of the 'twigs or leaves'.

Science in its theories used to be and still mostly is seen to have an organizational structure seen as a Tree Struction, Roots, Trunks, Limbs, Branches, Twigs, and Leaves.

More and more its theoretical structure is being seen as a sort of chromosome DNA structure, with one theory having a particular gene or set of genes and another theory having a different set of genes, yet sharing some in common with the first theory. Yet, this sort of chromosome breeding structuring of the theories of science would seldom come up with any thing really revolutionary or 'creative' solutions. Yet we could in a sense 'breed theories' and then with the appropriate experiment testing as a 'fitness function' more rapidly come to see which of all the theories or combinations of theories then best fits the Data at hand, and re-bred and evaluated upon the discovery of new data.

Modern Science and its advocates cannot afford yet to become totally closed minded and dogmatic. Standard Plate Tectonic Theory and Standared Ice Age Theory are in now way to be taken as fully settled 'truths'. They could yet be discovered to be not only bass-akwards but totally in error, like the Flat Earth Theories.

Where is the water from all the above ground melted ice going?


I've wondered that, maybe it go' underground to replace all the oil we extract.

I've read (some where) that there is more water inside the Earth- than is on the surface. Can't remember the source.
 Quoting: Enaid

Water is the most prevelant compound in the universe, and that includes inside the Earth. Hydrogen in bond with Oxygen.. very prevelant.

Search up the geo-physical sciences and its discoveris starting from around 1994 and you will find the recent discoveris of the 21st Century that has stood much of 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, and evne 20th Century Sciences on their heads.

Re: LOST CIVILIZATION FOUND UNDER ARCTIC ICE CAP 3400 YEAR OLD SHOE
it never ceases to amaze me how stupid some glp'rs are. They listen to glen beckkk and pat robertson the theif and murderer, say that there is no science behind global warming and because their parents were brother and sister they missed out the good genetics that are necessary for discernment so they believe them. To say that a shoe found on the ground that is thousands of years old is evidence that there was no ice there before is ridiculous. That shoe could have been left on the ice and then covered with snow just as easy as it could have been left on the ground and covered with snow. Now I realize this is pretty advanced thinking for inbred people but you'll just have to trust that it is a possiblity. Well you might ask, "How then did it get on the ground?" to which a person with an I.Q. over sixty might say that the ice melted and deposited it on the ground. Sorry about my big words which will stump most global warming denyers but have a non inbred neighbor, if you have any in your trailer park, look them up in a dictionary for you.

 Quoting: Elephant Worker

One day I did a little ole thought experiment, in which I assumed that a traveler could just pull food out of then air. I then decided to let my little Sim walk one 1 mile every day but in a random direction every day. In just a year my Sim will have walked (both shoes, one shoe, no shoes) 365 miles, in 10 years, 3,650 miles in 40 years 14,600 miles. Do the same with his children, by the end of the Sim Children's generation, ie. 80 years, that's 29,200 miles.

This is at one mile a day, or for a normal healthy adult human about a 10-15 minute walk, every day.

Using the 'wondering ant' algorithims it is interesting to see just how few years would be needed by a population of 100 such Sims to pretty much cover the land surface of any of the continents.

And to think the Anthropologiest and Evolutionists would have it take human's 1,000 years to travel even 1,000 miles, or 10,000 years or more to move from the Rift Valley of Africa to the Black Sea, for instance. I see a grave problem with such theories. Don't you?

Re: LOST CIVILIZATION FOUND UNDER ARCTIC ICE CAP 3400 YEAR OLD SHOE
As to Ices.. Sandia Nat'l Labs has discovered that there is a form of water ice that they have termed Metalic Ice, it has twice the density of liquid water. Normal water ice is less dense that liquid water, so this metalic water ice is quite interesting. It exists had high temperature in very high pressure environment. Some of the researches at Sandia are of the opinion that there is in fact a shell or layer of this stuff deep down at the bottom of the crust or even in the mantle. If it ever came to the surface the steam explosion would be absolutely emmense, and the resulting volcanic like eruption (of steam not lava) was be far more forceful than a normal volcanic eruption, with gyser heights to the 60 mile to 100 mile high in altitude. This discovery can really call into question the origins of the Oceanic Rift that more or less is a 42,000 mile long 'crack in the crust'.. as if in some ancient time there was a global worldwide eruption of the steam of metalic water ice from some depth below...
Dr. Walt Brown's 'Hydroplate Theory" is also another one that has other causes for the so called "ice ages"

...Those that pontificate that a Global Flood of Noah didn't happen, really have no grounds to stand on, not in a truely scientific sense. Given the various theories I have veyr breifly listed here, in combination with each other and future refined would in fact lead to a natualr conclusin that at some time in the past there really was a planet wide global flood of water of immense purportions... and if man was around it would even be an extinction level event for mankind or a very near extinction level event with very few survivors.

Just food for futher thought.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 985286


The return of the Planet Niburu every 3600 years as mentioned in Sumerian records could act as a trigger for many cataclysms however, the disappearance of 10,000+ feet of water about 200 days (Gen 8) when the water had no place to go, does not make sense. Even local floods sometimes take weeks to drain off when they have a whole ocean basin to flow into. NO, I cannot agree with the metallic ice theory if only because if it were to have happened as you state, then why would it return to the same state back in the ground in only half a year leaving growing things on the earth such as the olive leaf which the dove picked off a still growing tree.

This is monumental on so many levels...

"Ninety-five percent of the archaeological record that we usually base our interpretations on is comprised of chip stone artifacts, ground stone artifacts, maybe old hearths, which is a fire pit, or rock rings that would have been used to stabilize a house. So we really have to base our understanding about ancient times on these inorganic materials. But ice patches are giving us this window into organic technology that we just don't get in other environments."
Alasdair Wilkins, the author of this post
[link to io9.com]

Not to mention the ramifications of the climate in this area at the time to support plant-life and animals.
Impossible for these climes to support life now. Why? Because they are near the poles...in the artic circle. Where it is so fuckin cold there is an ice age STILL happening.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1123253

Ballard exploring below the Dead Zone top of the Black Sea suggests that we may well find prefectly preserved human bodies, not mummified, nor freeze dried, but as if they had been perserved in Argon or Neon... on the bottom surfaces of the Black Sea.. such discoveries would go way beyond even that found of the Ice Man of the Alps.

It could be that we do not travel around the sun in a perfect circle or orbit so sometimes we are closer to it.

This would be predictable.

Just my thought.
 Quoting: t. o. m.

We do not now travel around the Sun in a perfectly circle orbit it is a well proven fact. The orbit of Venus is closer to be a perfect circle than the Earths' orbit.

Sometimes it a real discovery to just read up on Solar System Astronomy and Celestial Mechanics. It is a shame they so seldom teach much of it in High School in the USA any more, or that perhaps, the students are basically just not paying much attention to it.

3,400 years ago is about when the first advanced civilization in the Americas popped up (the Olmec in Southern Mexico and some Pre-Inca cities in on the coasts of Peru and Chile).
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1113606

Yea, 3,400 years ago was like 1,400 B.C.E. in terms of ancient civilizations not really all that long ago. Its not like they are talking 34,000 years ago in this article.

There were many human villages and walled encampment on Earth in 1,400 B.C. some quite small populations only in the dozens of people or couples of hundreds. Jericho as of 1,400 B.C.E. had a farily large population by comparison... and it has been alleged its cemetaries hold a couple million graves.

And finding old shoes does not necessary imply a 'civilization' either, at least not in the sense that so many people like to think of civilization today.

Its more like starting at the very beginning of "Age of Empires" when you ony have two people to start with and growing it from that.

 Quoting: t. o. m.

Oh, well, guess it pays to read in full tha actual linked articles, eh? Yikes.

of course, 12,500 years ago would put it at 10,490 B.C.E., this being 2,010 C.E.

One should also realize that these modern datings are based on Atomic Clock Seconds Years, as the dating are down radiometrically. How these Atomic Clock Years relate to actual Orbital Years as historically happens is in fact a realtive unknown. One needs to study the difference between Atomic Clock Time measurenments and Dynamic Clock Time measurements to see the difference. 12,500 Atomic Clock years could in all fact be only 8,000 Dynamic Clock Years, more or less, depending on what the actual Orbital dimensions over time of the Earth's orbit has been, and what the actual speed of the Earth's rotation around its poles actually has been. Both the Orbit and Rotation around the Poles speeds are dynamic quantities and not fixed at all, difinitely not to be taken as universal constants. Thsi is something that is so seldom understood by the pop-science authors and their readers.

Monte Verde Excavation: or Clovis Police Beat a Retreat

After long, often bitter debate, archeologists have finally come to a consensus that humans reached southern Chile 12,500 years ago. The date is more than 1,000 years before the previous benchmark for human habitation in the Americas, 11,200-year-old stone spear points first discovered in the 1930s near Clovis, N.M.
The Chilean site, known as Monte Verde, is on the sandy banks of a creek in wooded hills near the Pacific Ocean.

To me it says that global warming has happened before.

The polar ice caps are melting now, and

they have done so in the past. That's why the shoe was there.

Someone had to have been there when the ice wasn't.

===

Yeah, and you have to wonder WTF they did to heat the planet up so much way back then. Probably Bush's fault that the planet was dying way back then.

===

God, of course we have had ice ages and periods of warmer climates. Does that disprove that natural gasses and other poisons we put in the atmosphere do not influence this cycle?

Only stupid people who never ever want to pay tax would say pollution does not affect the planet.

If a big volcano erupts, it can also change the climate globally. So yes, also all our industries and cars have an effect.

I know they falsify scientific results and make unfounded claims in this whole climate politics. But we still pollute and fuck up waters, grounds and air, you cannot deny that and still think you tell the truth...
 Quoting: easymind


Taking the methods of the now standarized "Chaos Mathematics", we can also reason that a cat's sneeze has an effect on the global climate, or a dog's fart, or the flap of a butterfly's wings at the middle height of Mt. Everest has an effect on how much rain I get here in Mid Nebraska.

Man has an effect no doubt, but the question always remains just how much of an effect. 40 zillion bacteria pumping out one billion cubic feet of methane a week would seem to have much the same impact on climate as 7 Billion humans pumping out one billion cubic feet of methane a week. End result in either case is one billion cubic feet of methane getting pumped out into the climate a week -- regardless of what produced it.

There is no reason to freeze frame the global climate to one 'ideal state'. If you want such, highly insulate your house, and run your heating/cooling all the time and your humidifiers and dehumidifiers, to have a 'perfectly controled climate' inside you house. Nature does its own thing, and as much as the Environmentalists and Naturalists seem to dislike the fact, MAN is a part of Nature... and has just as much right and power to affect the climate as all other lifeforms and abiotic processes of nature on this planet.

And yes, fouling our own nest with pollution is one thing, its another to be a small part of Nature's overall climate dynamics mechanism.

As far as Climate Progress Predictions are concerned we can only develop models with a certain number of extremely large inputs of extremely fine precision (which we have not even really begun to do, as it all has to be modeled right down to the stomic level, atom by atom to do so). ANd then what about the mathematical functions and assumptions made in such models? At the current state of affairs in climate predictive modeling that is very much still a art rather than a science.

So far, from the found data, evidence, I really see no room to jump to Civilization here in this case... at the least it is evidence perhaps of the skills of just one person, and a single person does not a civilization make.

One person can pick up rocks, gather wood, start a fire. One person can break off tree branches and using stones grind (rasp) that branch itno an arrow shaft or a bow, one person and make an arrow head, one person can take of thorns growing on trees and animal skin ans sinew and make a pair of 'shoes' .. it does not at all take a Civilization do do these things, just a medium intelligent person with nothing better to do and to discover things.

Indeed, even without massive polar shifting, the ice caps at the poles are always in a rather dynamic state.

 Quoting: Ice

Ice, Barry Setterfield (a creation scientist) has put the date of the Flood of Noah at approximatley 3,545 B.C., and with a how series of caveats. I am inclined to agree with him to a point. If Barry's dating is within the ball park, then that would be 5,555 years ago, not 3,400 years ago.

Some others bring it forward about 1,000 years, but it sort of depends on ones' approach to Biblical Chronology and Textual Lines decisions. Masoretic vs LXX for instance.

Heres an interesting thing I find. Many modern radiometric dating techniques are being used on of which is Carbon-14 dating.. yet, since 1945 Trinity shot the amount of new Carbon-14 that has been put into the atmosphere to then wind up in charcoals and other organics has not been taken into account in the least in the Carbon-14 dating anaylsis.

There is also the difference between Atomic Time and Celestial Orbital and Rotational Dynamic time that should be taken into account. When we say 3,400 years ago, do we mean 3,400 orbits of the Earth around the Sun, or do we mean 3,000 Atomic Clock Years. See the difference?

"Only stupid people who never ever want to pay tax would say pollution does not affect the planet."
===
Why would anyone pay tax on pollution. Doesn't that seem like a revolving door if your a rich company that pollutes the environment to make it's products. Why stop polluting??? I pay taxes... Stupid...
===
I don't know what you are saying. But if companies have to pay extra because they harm the environment, they could and probably would think more about how to make it less polluted. Right now, people who cut down trees do not have to pay when the hillside becomes a landslide and destroys a lot of houses.

Companies who put their products in 300 plastic packagings also do not pay all the costs associated with getting the plastic recycled or back in the process.
Taxing pollution works 2 ways. Companies get a more 'real cost' of their product and it should push their innovation towards less pollution...
It is not YOU who has to pay that tax. In a competitive system the less polluted alternatives will be there or come up, and you can pay just the same as you did before...
 Quoting: easymind


If you fine the corporations for polluting, they merely pass the costs of the fines onto their consumers. And the taxpayers spend more money on those goods - its the same if you force the corportaions to clean up their mess.

If you pay for clean up from public tax money's it raises taxes and the taxpayer spendmore of their money on taxes.

Either way the Taxpayers get screw.. the corporations can then continue on to pollute pollut pollute.

But, if you imprision the Owners of the corporations for 10-40 years for acts of pollution, and then imprison the board of directors for 10 to 40 year is the pollution continues, and the imprision the high share stockholders of that corporation for 10 -40 years, eventually the polluting stops by that group. Sure the Taxpers stil foot the clean up bill.. but like taking the rapist off the streets, and imprisioning the armed robber, that corporation is no longer free to continue polluting..

Thing is, we have forgotten the value of 20-40 year prision sentences in this nation for arresting the behaviors of people to reduce the amount of harm they can contiue to do, instead we have gone to Civil Torts.
