Will animals survive a Magentic Pole Reversal?


Well, according to the standard science in a PBS report... yes. The reason is that the reversal, like everything else in nature, will take a very long time to happen. So long and slow that the animals will get used to it, and recalibrate their senses to deal with the changes.

No mention of the possibility of a sudden magnetic pole reversal. I still like to think that most species will survive, because some will still randomly find their way to wherever they are meant to be.

Gilgamesh tomb believed found


The Epic Of Gilgamesh, a key component of any "the Biblical Flood really happened" theory has been validated by archaeology:

"In the book - actually a set of inscribed clay tablets - Gilgamesh was described as having been buried under the Euphrates, in a tomb apparently constructed when the waters of the ancient river parted following his death.

"We found just outside the city an area in the middle of the former Euphrates river the remains of such a building which could be interpreted as a burial," Mr Fassbinder said.

..."We covered more than 100 hectares. We have found garden structures and field structures as described in the epic, and we found Babylonian houses."

But he said the most astonishing find was an incredibly sophisticated system of canals."

Camp fire in Brazil, 56,000 years ago


This isn't a new story, but there is new evidence that the dating is accurate. So much for the old "they walked from Russia to Alaska" theory!

"Earlier tests on charcoal from the deepest layers of the excavations suggested that it was at least 40,000 years old, the traditionally accepted accurate "barrier" limit of radiocarbon dating."

"The new study says that thermoluminscence testing of the hearthstones showed that they "were heated independently from the stones found outside the hearths in the same layer; thus, refuting the possibility that the stones were heated by natural fires".

...The procedure is known as ABOX (acid-base-wet-oxidation) and involves chemically scouring a fine layer off the charcoal surface."
