Dinosaur 'mummy' discovered in US

I found a dinosaur mummy!

(Fox 32 Chicago) Paul Callistus Sereno (born Oct. 11, 1957) is a professor of paleontology at the University of Chicago who has discovered several new [announced] dinosaur species [and many more unannounced] on several continents, including at sites in Inner Mongolia, Argentina, Morocco, and Niger (Africa) [1]. One of his widely publicized discoveries includes a nearly complete specimen of Sarcosuchus imperator — commonly referred to as SuperCroc — found in Gadoufaoua, located in the Tenere desert of Niger.

Aftershock, Coachella...alt rock fests

Aftershock Festival 2025, Sacramento, Northern California | lineup announcement for rockers

I'm just looking for cheap thrills

Imagine a privileged life so tragic there's nothing left to do but attend big alt rock festivals, dance to EDM, and get blitzed with friends doing nothing with their lives but going to school and working for The Man. This is the American dream? This is the "pursuit of happiness"? And shows are so expensive now, post-plandemic, that one is reduced to trying to win tickets by listening to commercial radio. What a bummer. I mean, woo-hoo! I feel lucky! I'm going to call in and be the "correct" caller, just me and no one else.

People in Americas 130K ago (G. Hancock)

Proof of Great American Flood and more

(History Drops) There were humans here at least 130,000 years ago. Did civilization begin in the Americas thousands of years before Sumer, which was only 6,000 years ago? Graham Hancock presents America Before: The Key to Earth's Lost Civilization, Part 3 of 3, in Graham's hometown, Bath, England, in 2019. Here he presents highlights from his famous 2019 bestselling book, America Before was a New York Times Top 10 nonfiction bestseller. #grahamhancock #science #history #geology

America Before: The Key to Earth's Lost Civilization

(Audible Logo) Graham Hancock is the author and narrator in this Macmillan Audio. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars with 3,884 ratings. Was an advanced civilization lost to history in the global cataclysm that ended the last Ice Age?

Graham Hancock, the internationally best-selling author, has made it his life's work to find out. In America Before, he draws on the latest archeological and DNA evidence to bring his quest to a stunning culmination.

We’ve been taught that North and South America were empty of humans until around 13,000 years ago -- among the last great landmasses on earth to have been settled by our ancestors (the Clovis people).

But new discoveries have radically reshaped this long-established [and gatekeepers at the university enforced] picture, and we now know that the Americas were first peopled more than 130,000 years ago -- many tens of thousands of years before human settlements became established elsewhere.

Hancock's research takes us on a series of journeys and encounters with the daring scientists [who dared to defy the gatekeepers and status quo] responsible for the recent extraordinary breakthroughs.

In the process, from the Mississippi Valley to the Amazon Rainforest, he reveals that ancient "New World" cultures share a legacy of advanced scientific knowledge [likely gifted to them by the Star People] and sophisticated spiritual beliefs with supposedly unconnected "Old World" cultures.

Have archeologists focused for too long only on the "Old World" in their search for the origins of civilization while failing to consider the revolutionary possibility that those origins might in fact be found in the "New World"?

America Before is the culmination of everything that millions of people have loved in his body of work over the past decades, namely a mind-dilating exploration of the mysteries of the past, amazing archeological discoveries, and profound implications for how we lead our lives today. More

Super computer predicts human extinction

VIDEO: New US dinosaur that lived just before mass extinction revealed

.

Steve Quayle says God told him so.

Run! Wait, HOW? WHERE are we going to run to? We don't have spaceships (vimanas) to jettison ourselves off this world and go somewhere else.

Except maybe. "Science" claims to have just found a new planet that's better than Earth, more habitable, bigger, nicer, more water. So take that, Earth. We don't need your stinking dirt and life sustaining H20 after all.

But if we did all have our very own Jetsons' space-cars, WHY should we run? Here's WHY: A supercomputer simulation just predicted when humans will go extinct. Wait a minute, WHEN? WHEN does the all-knowing Supercomputer say we will go extinct, and does that mean only Earthlings or does that include all the humanoids in our solar system and beyond? (Yes, they're out there, but that's a different subject altogether).

A supercomputer simulation just predicted when humans will go extinct

One day, the world will end, or so they say. When that happens, the Sun will essentially explode outward, destroying many of the planets around it as it "dies" to us and reaches another cycle of its life in another form.

But, before that happens, scientists say we can likely expect humanity's end to arrive. Climate change is, of course, an ongoing concern that many scientists and capitalists are trying to solve.

• [Hey, why don't we start a pollution credit market and let the magic of the marketplace solve it for us? Let's give corporations the right to pollute, and they'll sell those right-to-pollute credits until they become so expensive, they won't sell them, and all pollution will end as they go out of business? No, of course not. They'll just pollute with impunity and throw money at the problem. Our lungs could filter their bad air for them, and we won't get any pay off for our shortened lives.]

What we send up must come down to splat on us.

And they've come up with some really cool and impressive ideas -- including sending bubbles into space to help block solar radiation [or toxic heavy metal chemtrails into the atmosphere to rain down on us and block light in the meantime].

However, no solution has actually been put into play just yet [except for the chemtrails, massive forest fires, and volcano eruptions]. As a result, climate change continues to progress onward, threatening the melting of the ice caps, which would send hundreds of thousands of miles of shoreline under the ocean.

And according to a new simulation, humanity's end could come in as little as 250 million years if climate change continues the way it has. [Wow, think about it, we only have a quarter billion years as a species then it's lights out. Oh, great God of the sky, save us miserable slaves from thine wrath and those darn capitalists and their paid scientists who pollute our world!]

A study was published in Nature Geoscience detailing these findings, and it offers a unique insight into the future that could await humanity and hundreds of other species of mammals.

Mushroom Mysteries (Neil deGrasse Tyson)

Neil deGrasse Tyson, StarTalk, 2/8/24; Dhr. Seven, Pat Macpherson (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

The Mystery of Mushrooms [human relatives] with Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bryn Dentinger

Humans are related to mushrooms.

(StarTalk) StarTalk Podcast Full Episodes. Why are some mushrooms delicious culinary truffles, some make us high (200 "magic mushroom" types), and some kill us?

Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice discover the weird world of mushrooms, psilocybin (natural psychedelic drug), and mycelia (root-like fibers that communicate between plants and distribute nutrients throughout forest) with mycologist (person who studies fungus) Bryn Dentinger.

What is a mycologist? Discover the kingdom of fungi, the crazy chemicals funguses produce, and how mushrooms (the fruiting bodies of the mycelia) have a closer common ancestor to us than plants.

How did the asteroid that is thought to have killed off the dinosaurs help the mushrooms? When did humans start using mushrooms for their psychedelic (entheogenic, shamanistic, mind-making) effects?

Mycelia feed the root hairs, and tree gives sugar

Why are mushrooms so hard to grow? Learn about the differences between fungal and plant life. Learn how mycelia are some of the largest single organisms by area in the world, with the largest living organism on earth planet being a giant, underground hyphae of mycelium, a massive fungal mat that is three square miles in area, living in the Blue Mountains of Oregon.

• The Blue Mountains are unique as the home of the world's largest living organism, a subterranean colonial mycelial mat of the fungus Armillaria ostoyae [6]. They were named after the color of the mountains when seen from a distance and the blue hue imparted by the smoke of forest and range fires set by Indigenous people as management tools in the fall [7]. More

How did some mushrooms come to be hallucinogenic? Should we be farming more mushrooms? What makes prized mushrooms like expensive truffles so rare? Why can’t we farm them rather than have to wildcraft them with the help of pigs their incredible sense of smell?

Many mushrooms are culinary and medicinal.

Could fungi be the key to feeding a future Mars settlement? Will mycelia and mushrooms replace meat with their texture, flavor, and environment-friendly production methods.

Learn about what fungi are made of biochemically and how many new species of fungi are found everyday.

How do fungi interact with the human microbiome? What is Auto-Brewery Syndrome [where a person gets drunk by fermentation in the human gut]?

Naga News: Sea monster skull found (BBC)

BBC News, 12/10/23; Pat Macpherson, Dhr. Seven (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Majestic, behemoth pliosaur skull discovered on UK's Jurassic Coast (satorinews.com)

This is cryptozoology taken seriously, forbidden paleontology, the unearthing of an enormous sea monster or aquatic creature, like a serpent or crocodile but a dinosaur of behemoth proportions. What has lived in the sea would boggle the mind, particularly the earth's long history of reptilians (nāgas) of various kinds -- humanoids, amphibians, shapeshifters, monsters, and "mighty beings," which is what naga means in its broadest Buddhist sense.

Colossal sea monster unearthed in UK (BBC News)

(BBC News) The BBC is a British public broadcast service. The skull of a colossal sea monster has been extracted from the cliffs of the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, UK. It belongs to a pliosaur, a ferocious marine reptile that terrorized the oceans about 150 million years ago. The six foot (2 meter) long fossil is one of the most complete specimens of its type ever discovered and is giving new insights into this ancient predator. The skull will be featured in a special David Attenborough program on BBC One on New Year's Day, 2024.

Hi, I'm Gary Larson. I went bald up front from thinking up all these great gags.

Yeah, Doug, but what kind of life?

Gary Larson's The Far Side is known for its surreal humor and morbid perspective, including several comics where no human is left standing.

Whether taken out by space aliens, big animals, or their own hubris (overarching pride), humans are just another animal trying to get by in an often hostile world.

The people of The Far Side are prone to apocalyptic levels of foolishness, often reflecting the (hopefully) less lethal foibles of the comic strip's millions of fans.

Here are the 10 best The Far Side comics where -- for a truly impressive variety of reasons -- no human makes it out alive. Some are iconic, some underappreciated, but in each case, Larson leaves no room for doubt that his human characters aren't long for this world. More

People coexisted with dinosaurs, Moon bldg

MSN.com; Seth Aubeorn, Sheldon S., Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Human ancestors coexisted with dinosaurs? Yes, according to stunning new research (MSN)

Ancient Mexican clay figurine depicts human on dinosaur (Acambaro Collection)

.

An astonishing new study concludes that human ancestors survived the asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs. This fact, and other new insights into the timeline of animal evolution, are rocking the scientific community.

Researchers conducted a thorough analysis of the fossil record. They discovered that placental mammals – a group that includes humans, dogs, and even bats - originated in the Cretaceous period.

Placental mammals, human ancestors, and dinosaurs

Science didn't stop Gary Larson.

This suggests that these mammals shared the planet with dinosaurs for a brief period before the mass extinction event. This finding that throws a curveball into the long-standing debate among researchers. 

Until now, it was a point of contention whether placental mammals walked alongside dinosaurs or only came into existence after the large reptiles had vanished. Fossils from placental mammals only showed up in rocks less than 66 million years old.

That was the time when an asteroid had a fateful encounter with Earth.

This evidence seemed to suggest that placental mammals appeared only after the dinosaurs' dramatic exit. However, molecular data has been hinting at an older age for this group. This finding has completely complicated the narrative.

How the placental mammal study was conducted... More

.

Every kid knew it, every TV watcher thought it, and those exposed to the discovery by a German living in Mexico many years ago -- of course humans coexisted with dinosaurs.

This discovery was of 33,000 clay figures, ancient artifacts showing humans interacting with dinosaurs. There's an ancient Buddhist/Hindu temple with a bas relief depiction of a dinosaur (possible stegosaurus).

• The immense Acambaro collection of Mexico
• PHOTOS: Ica Stones prove humankind coexisted with dinosaurs and had advanced technology

In both cases, centuries ago, people did not know what "dinosaurs" looked like. That came about from fossil digs and artists' renditions, most of them quite inaccurate, leaving out color, feathers, skin, hair -- making everything a version of a lizard.

Mocked by science, Christians knew something

Moreover, there are still dinosaurs around today, here on the surface and in inner earth and, according to Billy Meier, on other nearby planetary bodies.

However, Eric Dubay insists dinosaurs are fake, did not exist, and that fossils -- or at least their interpretation -- are hoaxes used to promote the view that everything just evolved impersonally, Earth is not special nor central to anything, and there is no meaning to our lives. Religion says otherwise. There is meaning, and the Vedas tell of it, and sacred Buddhist and Christian texts confirm it. Older Sumerian and Anatolian monuments suggest it. And the ancient cylinders, carved in stone, have much to say.
