Yesterday we posted on a
compelling piece of ancient evidence in the form of a manufactured
chunk of aluminum alloy known as the Wedge of Aiud. It looks like a
tooth from an excavator and the metal mix is that of an aluminum
alloy. We know also from the mix that it was likely cast. The
oxidation layer is extraordinary and conforms with the Pleistocene
age of the other artifacts.
I posted that this
conforms with my developing conjecture for a Pleistocene era rise of
humanity that included modernism matching and ultimately surpassing
our present achievements. In fact, for this conjecture to stand up,
such artifacts must exist however scarce.
There are in fact many
other similar anomalous artifacts out there that beg interpretation.
These include manufactured metallic items contained inside coal and
stone. These have had substantial ages assigned to them that has
also been off putting.
Most important however,
we have a source of human artifacts matching modern capabilities
originating from 42000BP through 13900BP. That is a long time and
inevitably, accidents do happen and stuff gets lost. Yet metal
itself would have always been scavenged, just as we presently
scavenge our metallic wastage. In time I expect we will actually
mine out landfills for remaining metal content. So any metal
recovery took an unusual set of events to be lost in the original
time and space.
Because rare aluminum
artifacts could be found, it is no surprise that they have shown up
in Bronze age grave goods and beyond. The reason is simple. The
metal is easily remelted and reworked into belt buckles (as found in
a Chinese grave) and surely would be. Thus ancient post Pleistocene
Nonconformity aluminum artifacts have a natural provenance that
precludes some implausible form of Bronze Age aluminum production.
That leaves us with the
problem of super aged human artifacts and bones found in geological
settings.
The problem is actually
one of geological aging. The classical assumption of uniformism has
imposed some age calculations that are completely untested and in
fact suspect. Any given age is typically one geologists opinion
based on good ideas and assumptions but capable of been wrong.
An example of this is the
super high mountains of the present. It is plausible that under the
crustal shift brought about by the Pleistocene Nonconformity, that
the major part of these uplifts took place over a few days some 13900
years ago. It this turns out to be an accurate description of what
happened, then two hundred years of geological aging research becomes
rubbish.
The crustal movement
itself would have accelerated cold creep and likely finished the job.
I certainly cannot imagine coal mine tunnels holding up during a
sustained period of vibration as was experienced.
The reality is that the
ages quoted in most geological work is the apparent age of the host
rock within its adjacent strata showing a chronological sequence. It
may turn out that a more correct assumption to make would be to
assume that all known faults are generally 13900 years old unless
shown otherwise.
Artifacts can be lost in
such strata as part of mining efforts. What is not so obvious is
that deep structures such as coal and shale are quite deformable over
great reaches of time if the surrounding material is under great
pressure. Twenty thousand or so years is quite ample (two inches or
so per century) to squeeze out voids leaving little trace of any
workings. Thus contained artifacts are evidence of antiquity, but
not beyond the cold creep time on the encasing rock.
So once we get past the
common geological error (done in aging faults all the time) of aging
physical evidence against the age of the rock itself, we find that
these artifacts do conform to the 42000BP through 13900BP window
rather well.
To date we have only a
handful of such artifacts and the aluminum artifact is actual proof
of the underlying conjecture. It is Pleistocene and can not be faked
without modern metallurgy. It is also the metal most likely to be
used and lost out on a project site. You can even see the breakage
that allowed it to be lost. I also doubt that lab work will show an
alternative explanation but it certainly is needed here to provide
all possible negative evidence.
For the record, the only
thing preventing aluminum from totally replacing steel is a cheap way
to produce the metal itself. Cheap energy will do the trick in the
next twenty years and after that steel will be generally retired as
alloys can match any characteristic package of steel you can imagine.
After that for the next million years or so, the only metal objects
that we will lose will be aluminum based.
The only other way to
explain away this evidence is to either loudly yell fraud in the hope
serious researchers will be scared away, or alternatively assume it
is all evidence of an alien exploratory visit. Except that aliens
are no more profligate with metal than we are. There we have around
100,000 sightings and a handful of controversial physical evidence at
best and no massive excavator tooth.
