This is awfully suspicious. What is the sun really? It appears to have mind control powers to make us not want to think about it or question it. I can feel it's power now as I'm writing this.

Radiocarbon dating is presented in pop science as a magical technique where you just point your tricorder at old stuff and it tells you exactly how old it is and it's 100% reliable. In fact it's really complicated. The level of carbon-14 in the atmosphere changes year to year and also seasonally. If the sample was ever immersed in water that can change it. It's not very precise for archaeology as anything recent you'll get a range of a couple centuries.

The biggest problem is finding the right sample to test. It can tell you when living tissue died. The problem is, you're probably trying to figure out how old an inanimate object like a building or statue is. So you have to do it indirectly, testing something like a bit of charcoal that you found nearby that you believe dates back to the same time as the object you care about. It's easy to make a mistake and test material from a totally different time.

Our enterprising r-slur just ignored all these difficulties. He decided that some hill in Indonesia is a pyramid built in the ice age or some shit to fit in with whatever Graham Hanpeepee is peddling. So he just randomly tested bits of mud from the hill until he found something 8,000 years old and claimed that his "pyramid" is really old. Who needs truth when fantasy is more fun?

These two men have been pretty accurate over the last decade. It might behoove us to listen.

Cbf effortposting etc.

real or....

1- Fearsome critters

This covers a few different ones but I feel I can lump these together. Fearsome critter stories stared within American logging camps as a way to haze new members and as a way to explain natural phenomena (loggers going missing late at night, strange sounds in the forests, having to be drunk on the job).

Some of them are maneaters and some of them mostly harmless but all are super wacky looking.

The hugag is my favorite

He's like a moose-camel-duck

2-Selkies

Selkies are creatures that can shapeshift between human and seal. Stories of this legend come mostly from Scotland, Ireland, the Faroe islands, and Iceland. A Selkie sheds their seal skin when they turn human and can only turn into a seal again with it. A lot of stories revolve around creepy moids waiting for selkies to turn into a human so that they can steal their seal skin and forcefully marry them. Real moid moment

I like the theory that the story of Selkies started when Finnish, Sami, and eskimos came into contact with the Scottish and they simply believed them to be a whole other species.

3- Set animal

The Ancient Egyptian God Set was identified with this guy

There's not much else to say other than that they made up a whole new kind of animal.

Hold on a minute there internet. Someone removed the distortion from the Kate Middleton image produced on TMZ.

Drug chads stay winning:

A village in Thailand has revived a strict set of community rules in response to several mysterious deaths that have occurred there since the start of the year. The peculiar case reportedly began in January when Ban Khop Klang Nuea was beset by a series of incidents wherein a staggering 15 young people perished under inexplicable circumstances. Strangely, this was not the first time such an eerie spate of deaths had befallen the community as, long ago, a similar phenomenon took place in the village, which led residents to adopt nine rather strict rules that had been imparted to them by a monk enlisted to help ward off evil spirits.

In light of the unnerving number of deaths in Ban Khop Klang Nuea this year, many in the village concluded that the edicts were being ignored by the younger generation, which led to so many people losing their lives. In response, the community executed a proverbial refresh by performing the monk's ritual once again and reinforcing the strict regulations that govern the village. Among the rules residents are now expected to follow are a ban on bringing dead bodies into Ban Khop Klang Nuea as well as a prohibition on killing any four-legged animals. Additionally, on the 8th, 14th, and 15th of each month, people are not allowed to bring an array of items into the village, including stock, mill rice, firewood, stones, soil, and blady grasses.

In a testament to the seriousness with which the community takes these edicts, they actually put them on display at the entrance to the village along with a sign that reads "stop and read the rules of the village." Lest one think that the strange statutes are merely suggestions for residents and visitors, those caught breaking the rules are subject to a fine of around $14 which goes towards a fund for renovating the community's temple. While that might seem like a small price to pay for violating the regulations, one imagines that most residents will be sticking to the renewed rules in light of the incidents that prompted them to be revived in the first place, lest they wind up being added to the tally of mysterious deaths.

19 January, 2003- Indian officials ventured into deep jungle investigating several missing persons reports from a nearby city. What they found was a “Tower of Silence,” or dakhma. Zoroastrians use these sites to dispose of bodies in the open air. While sites like these are not uncommon in certain parts of India, several peculiarities hint at something more unusual:

1. None of the bodies depicted in the photograph were identified. Villagers from nearby, who were initially surprised at the sheer number of corpses in the dakhma, proved unable to recognize the bodies. The corpses also do not match the descriptions of the missing people.

2. There were no animals except for maggots and flies. Zoroastrians rely on birds such as buzzards to dispose of the bodies in the belief they are contributing back to the Earth. Officials found the corpses relatively untouched by any sort of animal.

3. There is no official count of the bodies. In fact little work was actually accomplished at the site, and perhaps this is the reason only one photograph has emerged. Officials avoided the spot not only because they felt uneasy looking at it, but for the following as well:

4. The deep pit in the center of the photograph was filled with several feet of festering blood. Far more than the bodies on the outside could ever supply. The stench was so unbearable many of the officials began to get nauseous when they first approached the dakhma. The expedition was ended when a villager accidentally kicked a small bone into the pit, penetrating the coagulated surface of the pool. A massive burst of gas from the decomposing blood erupted from the pit, splashing those looking into it, along with the photographer.

Those caught in the explosion were immediately sent to the hospital where they were quarantined for possible infection. They became delirious with fever, shouting about “being tainted with the blood of Ahriman (the personification of evil in Zoroastrianism)” despite never having admitted they had any familiarity with the religion. In fact, many of them had no idea what the dakhma was when they had found it. Delirium turned to insanity as many began to attack hospital staff until they were sedated. The fever eventually killed all of them.

When officials returned with HAZMAT gear the following day, the site was empty. All the bodies had been removed and astonishingly, the pool of blood in pit had been drained. All that remained of the incident was this photograph.
