Every once in a while archaeologists (and sometimes regular Joes) make some remarkable discoveries. Stunned, they are often unable to explain what it is they’ve found, how it came into existence, or ascertain its value. This is a comprehensive list of such artifacts; artifacts that many believe should have never existed given the discerned age/period of their creation.

In June 1936 (or 1934 according to some accounts), Max Hahn and his wife Emma were on a walk when they noticed a rock with wood protruding from its core. They decided to take the oddity home and later cracked it open with a hammer and a chisel. Ironically, what they found within seemed to be an archaic hammer of sorts. A team of archaeologists checked it, and as it turns out, the rock encasing the hammer was dated back more than 400 million year; the hammer itself turned out to be more than 500 million years old. Additionally, a section of the handle has begun the transformation to coal. Creationists, of course, were all over this. The hammer’s head, made of more than 96% iron, is far more pure than anything nature could have achieved without an assist from modern technology.

makes you think huh. What if humans existed before, fucked it up like we're doing now, got wiped out then re-emerged later. cool post

reminds me of planet of the apes

Way cool.
In the past i've done some reading about weird archeology findings and that the ruling scientists ignore these finds.
There was also a wooden sandal found INSIDE a 400-500 million old rock somewhere in the U.S. (i seem to remember)

Humans were not even around 65 million years ago, never mind people who could work metal.

So then how does science explain semi-ovoid metallic tubes dug out of 65-million-year-old Cretaceous chalk in France?

In 1885, a block of coal was broken open to find a metal cube obviously worked by intelligent hands.

In 1912, employees at an electric plant broke apart a large chunk of coal out of which fell an iron pot!

A nail was found embedded in a sandstone block from the Mesozoic Era.

It's a bit different.(it was a footprint)

Oldest fossil footprint yet found was discovered in June 1968 by William J. Meister, an amateur fossil collector, and reportedy, an evolutionist.

If the print is what it appears to be-the impression of a sandaled shoe crushing a trilobite-it would have been made 300 to 600 million years ago and would be sufficient either to overturn all conventionally accepted ideas of human and geological evolution or to prove that a shoe-wearing biped from another world had once visited the planet.

Meister made his potentially disturbing find during a rock-and fossil-hunting expedition to Antelope Spring, 43 miles west of Delta, Utah.

He was accompanied by his wife and two daughters, and by Mr. And Mrs. Francis Shape and their two daughters.

The party had already discovered several fossils of trilobites when Meister split open a two-inch-thick slab of rock with his hammer and discovered the outrageous print. The rock fell open 'like a book,' revealing:


on one side the footprint of a human with trilobites right in the footprint itself. The other half of the rock slab showed an almost perfect mold of the footprint and fossils. Amazingly the human was wearing a sandal!

regarding the footprint...
when i have broken stone apart working in a quarry i found that the stone was really unreliable as to how it would break, cant this just be that the rock just randomly split into this shape per chance?

Dunno, i'm not an expert on the matter.

would be interesting to see an expert's opinion or what they say about that concept

[güttsfükk]

i'd really like to see a documentary about this kind of stuff if anyone has one

[Hotstuff]

i agree para could be just that, interesting tho
