What are your picks for the top 10 moments in geology during the first decade of the 21st Century?
Belba Grubb
I was just reading what the UK's /Telegraph/ considers "a decade of
scientific discovery" at
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/6905510/A-decade-of-scientific-discovery.html
. I wasn't too moved by most of it, considering that 40% of the
decade's top "moments to forget" involved fraud (yes, I'm being more
straightforward than they are on the Hadley business). It kind of
makes one wonder about the validity of the "someday we'll..." spirit
expressed in some of their Top Ten picks.
Anyway, there is nothing mentioned regarding geology, save extra-Sol
planets, which I'm not prepared to count until we have been or at
least are ready to set foot on them. Geology is just a word unless you
can stand on it, swim/fly over it, duck as it heads your way, or hold
it in your hand...in other words, it's the personal interaction that
counts. This said, I would include solar system objects, because some
of those, in one way or another, can meet up to all 4 criteria.
I haven't the background to make any real judgments about the decades
top moments in geology, but from my very limited perspective here are
some interesting moments:
1. Most definitely, the explosive growth of volcano webcams on the
Web. The Mount St. Helens VolcanoCam may have been among the first
innovators (per http://www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/volcanocams/msh/library/faqs-history.php
), and certainly a lot of people discovered volcano cams when MSH
erupted again in 2004 and the existing cam (a brand new one)
demonstrated an unexpected infrared sensitivity that transmitted very
grainy but (for many people, including me) spectacular pictures of
nighttime glow from the crater and images of the snow-covered mountain
at night. Now cams are all over the place. This is good for all
concerned.
Of course, the popularity of online videos (as opposed to cams) also
has increased candidates for the Darwin Award. My nominee:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBfl82HG9Vc (language warning). Per a
commenter on "Eruptions" blog, that was taken on the Santiaguito dome
complex on Santa Maria in Guatemala; I don't know for sure, nor what
the date was, but it was probably 2008 or 2009. I regret to confess
that my concern for their safety is strongly tempered by an impulse to
shout "Shut up and get out of the way so I can see better!". They were
very, very lucky.
2. This earthquake, not just for the high number of casualties the
resulting tsunamis caused but also for the interest it spawned in
getting tsunami monitoring and warning systems into risk-prone areas
that were (and unfortunately in some cases still are) poorly covered:
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/eqinthenews/2004/usslav/
Also, thanks to the many videos that came out of it, very few people
of the current generation who live or are likely to visit risk-prone
now fully understand what it means when the water out there recedes,
and we all have a better idea of how to react (head for the hotel or
other modern structure in a flat zone, and otherwise, up). Memorial
videos received less publicity but are nonetheless very moving, for
example, this one from 2008: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRyVd2DsoY4
3. Seismic activity in the region of Puerto Aysen in Chile and the
eruption of Chaiten. Are they related? I have no idea. Chaiten
deserves mention anyway (for reasons mentioned below) but I'm
including Aysen because the swarm was striking and the question has
been raised by some people, for instance:
http://sismoaysen.blogspot.com/2009/01/dos-aos-del-inicio-del-enjambre-de.html
(Spanish)
And why Chaiten?
-- The volume of material.
-- The discovery that its rhyolitic magma might have risen quickly, at
rates up to 0.2 km/hr. (See http://scienceblogs.com/eruptions/2009/10/the_speedy_magma_of_chaiten_an.php
and http://scienceblogs.com/eruptions/2009/10/answers_to_your_chaiten_questi.php
) This could make a big impact on how we monitor other rhyolitic
volcanoes.
-- It's proven quite a social laboratory in terms of the response to
the devastation caused by this particular volcano and how/how not to
deal with it. Actually, overall AFAIK, the Chilean government and
local leaders seem to have developed a workable solution (maybe I'm
influenced by the fact that New Chaiten is being built at Santa
Barbara--G).
4. This one is more of an impression than a specific event that I can
point to, but it seems that during this decade that's almost past,
much more attention has focused on the New Madrid Fault Zone, and
through that, there has been an increase in public awareness about
intraplate quakes and the need for retrofitting, etc., as well as
increased funding for monitoring networks and so forth. One surprise
result of this, from a science standpoint, must be the possibility
that the NMFZ may be shutting down: http://www.purdue.edu/UNS/x/2009a/090313CalaisSteinMadrid.html
That's hardly good news, for if that is the case, then the strain is
building somewhere else and we need to know where before old Mom tells
us herself.
5. The LCROSS mission, both because we now know the Moon has water,
which will spur its development, and because it has a really neat
theme song (referenced before, but here it is again:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gnAagqv1lU ).
Also, a couple of missing moments in the 21st Century's first decade
(at least AFAIK)
1. What are the decade volcanoes this time around?
2. Karka's non-eruption.
And moments we wish we had missed.
1. Bobby Jindal. Nuff said.
That's all I can come up with, and it's all either "newsy" stuff or
the sort of science that grabs your eyeballs, literally in the case of
webcams. I know that's not even much more than scratching the surface
of the actual scientific fields that comprise geology. What are your
picks?

1 -The idea that Earthquakes are a signature of planetary rotation
and specifically the rotational effects of the viscous interior on the
fractured surface crust.
2 - The inclusion of the planet's spherical deviation within the
discipline of geology as the fractured crust moves across the less
than perfect sphere making the explanation for subduction and inter-
plate eqarthquakes much easier to grasp.
3 - The global feature of the Mid Atlantic Ridge explained by the lag/
advance mechanism of differential rotation where variation in speeds
of shear bands explain symmetrical generation of crust either side of
the MAR.

Anyway, here is a correction, though, hopefully, the meaning came
through: thanks to the videos of the 2004 tsunami, many more people
will know what it means when the water out there starts receding and
will know better than to stand around on what used to be the
shoreline, wondering what's happening.
That is, if they get the chance. People near parts of the shore in
Aysen Fjord in April 2007 didn't get one, after an earthquake caused a
landslide and resultant tsunami:
Tsunami video by Chilevision (long and in Spanish, but has the video
of the waves):

Earthquake and landslide video (I love the "se calma" towards the
end):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Uvh9ZCelW8&feature=fvw
That was a 6.2 at a little over 38 km in depth. It didn't even make
the NEIC archive news page for that year. Ten people disappeared,
three bodies were found the next day by the navy. I don't have the
time to look it up now, but I think the head of the seismology
department at the University of Chile, among other scientists, helped
save people that day (they were down by the water and lost a lot of
instrumentation).
Anyway, spam on. It seems to be getting a pass for now.

I remember this one well. I did a few interviews with Chilean
newspapers
about it. The Govt. there was getting a lot of criticism; unfairly I
might add
and I said so in the interviews. Chile cannot call a warning every
time a 6+ eq
happens. There are some events that simply cannot be handled by the
tsunami warning system.

What about the fact that half of the continental geological features
are sculpted by the planet's constantly changing climate yet
geologists did nothing to prevent a truly remarkable situation from
arising where climate change or temperature fluctuations are
designated as a scourge or that a race of people would emerge that
believe it could control global temperatures within a certain
range,sort of like King Canute in reverse.
Geologists have disgraced themselves by doing nothing at a time when
people needed to break clear of a social driven agenda such as the
reckless attempt to link global temperatures to a minor atmospheric
gas and to the exclusion of all else.

You really are an idiot indeed, Oriel, and I second Skywise on this
very point. Still carefully avoiding replying to that nagging question
relative to planetary rotations ? ( inertia in all cases, hugh ? )

Yes, there certainly was a lot of criticism of the government
throughout that earthquake swarm -- people were frightened, and
sometimes very unreasonable. In term of the 6.2 quake that day,
though, I remember reading an article in the /Houston Chronicle/
online (it's no longer up, unfortunately) soon after the quake in
which a high-ranking administration functionary really downplayed the
whole event in a way that was not at all congruent with the reports
that the Chilean ONEMI was posting on its site at the very same time.
Then, the Chilevision video appeared -- they had been down there doing
a general story on the quake, I guess, and captured the tsunami and
damage. Subsequently, a lot of people really went ballistic and
condemned the government's reaction that day, and I do believe, that
to some extent, they were correct. The government, though, changed
course and did the right thing; they came right down to Aysen,
including the president herself, and really helped a lot of people.
That entire event may have been a turning point (for the good) in the
public handling of the matter.
It's still intriguing to ponder a link between the Aysen quakes and
eventual eruption of Chaiten, much further north.

I see the count this year was about 1150 cars.

long tradition.
It is expression of no-future french politics for young immigrant families.

The desperation of immigrant families is palpable in impoverished

address living and working conditions as part of its economic plan -- a good
idea for all developed countries as we attempt to address the financial

Paschen in France numbers are always streamlined for a purpose in Paris.
......The Forecast for GDP 2%, reality 0%.
2005 DEC we had in France from 11 PM interdiction to leave the homes to
avoid riots getting violent. In the yard explosions everywhere, cars burnt.
Same 2003 heatwave government told 500 dead, journalsits found out 15.000
died, laying in cooling houses. later government admitted 15.000 offical
dead.
The thing I wonder, why journalist estimations below government, we had a
calm year up to now with only 36.700 cars burnt in 2008 (official number
8000 down to 2007) The situation could trigger again collective punishment ?
I live in the Quatier what I call "Little New York". French, Russians,
Arabs, Jews, Chinese, works very well together; With the tensions in Israel
400 dead, the victims are we here. Protests, uncertainty, people start to
hate, no good development.
Sarkozy: No drivers licence for vandalism youngters untill they pay the
burnt car. Who should know the actors. Anyway the concerned poor drive
without license most on scooters to rob tourists or use cars for business.
Well no conspiracy yet, but high tension with Israel protests included, so
Gov may like to act in a certain way.

The level of intelligence displayed by the French nation is disheartening.
It is no wonder why their nation is in such disrepair. The French have no
control over their own country, and because of this they cannot be respected
as a world power.

By the way, I enjoyed the news of 40 Toads' home burned to the ground
at Toadyay ( a well named township of Toads in wesT australiA)
Quote

The fires destroyed 40 homes around the township of Toodyay, 50 miles
north of the coastal city of Perth. A woman resident required hospital
treatment for burns while three firefighters were treated for smoke
inhalation and a heat-related illness, Mr Gale said.

Turcaud, you are a degenerate, perverted, rubber room,
psychopathic swine
Stick your enema nozzle into your asinine mouth and
drown in your stupid Turcaud Bath.
You are a blight on Human society, a mental midget and retard.
On a good day you're a half-wit.
You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the
personality of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy.
You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of
all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever
you go.
You are a liar and a fraud. Rejoicing in the misery of
others is a true indication of your scumbag outlook on life.
You are a peril to decent Human thought.
Quoted from Bob Ellis, page 11 Daily Telegraph Mirror 16/6/95
"The Perfidious Frogs"
"They are a dense and arrogant people, idle, pretentious and rabbit
slaughtering, all of the men identical, as Gore Vidal so rightly noted
pot belly, green skin, stubble, limp cigarette on long wet under-lip,
unlit, but somehow dribbling ash in acres all down the pendant
clothing, large and serviceable penis, limp hand-shake, always a foot
shorter than their improbably glamorous and vapidly smiling wives,
torpid in conversation, unsanitary as guests, always holding a small
white yapping poodle, and soused on rough red wine from the age of
three. Which accounts, perhaps, for their mental incapacity in later
years. Hooked on snails, adultery and academic fashion, they have been
throughout this century a peril to human thought."
"Besides, bravest Frenchman was a sheila. Joan of Arc"

Well I think that just about says it all.
The French are a poor insignificant race, they make other insignificant
people, look important.
Most of the males are queers and as a result their bloodline has become
imbred.
In more recent times, they have encouraged the immigration of radical
arselifters in the hope it will improve their bloodline.
This, however, has been a failure as most Islamics fuck goats and sheep.
They have taken to the mass burning of cars so that more can afford donkeys
and camels. The arselifters like fucking those too!
Le-Turd, you poor,poor demented French sod. I almost feel sorry for you,

Greatest Mining Pioneer of Australia of all Times
Some news development putting the Mining Criminals in a hot seat
indeed ... that deal signed under duress in New York is void by the
simple fact of hold off informations by the Mining Criminals that :
1) The 3 companies I involved with the Telfer Mine discoveries were in
a joint venture, hence having at their disposal the 1 600 kg of
sulphide samples from the major Telfer Mine dome ( anticline)
2) 11 000 assays realized by Anglo American, about a 1 000 carried
out by WMC and petrologist Borner appraisal was at the disposal of the
Mining Criminals & Fraud Tyrwhitt ( CEO Newmont & master mind behind
the Narla Swindle
3) The NY lawyer was corrupted by the Newmont Mining Criminals, and
none of the objectives agreed upon were reached ... not even going to
court as promised ... I would have signed with the Newmont ( now
Newcrest ) Mining Criminals for a single dollar since in doing so I
was getting my name associated with that Mining Filth in 81,, after
11 years of refusal from that Criminal Manure !
4) No deal is valid then with thieves, liars & criminals of that
kind, all the more since the Tyrwhitt fraud is still presented as the
Discoverer of Telfer Mine, while if is on public notoriety that the
Puke never prospected a sinlge acre of land there. Quote I spotted
the site from the air and landed near by in the Desert to take
samples. signed Tyrwhitt Unquote I will get that puke indeed to spell
that out in front the coming WA Parliamentary commission to be
convened on that issue ...
40 years of richness unearthed for thousand of un-grateful australian
shitheads to benefits without a single thanks indeed ... that matter
is going to settled soon at the expanses indeed of the Mining
Criminals ....
( by the way, debased dull retard, out of the 25 000 paid by the
Newmont Criminals, 40% had to be paid to that NY barrister stinker,
and the remainder, since being at this stage the only thing I got
from the Mining Criminals & considering all the expenses tied up with
years of prospecting and chasing after the swines ... I have to say
that I am far behind out of my pocket indeed !!!
BUT THIS GOING TO BE SETTLED SOON WITH 40 YEARS COMPENSATION FROM THE
MINING CRIMINALS ... don't forget that the Royal Inquiry demanded by
the Hon T.D Evans in 1975 is still valid, and all knowledge of the way
that Mining Criminals not only swindled Turcaud but as well Boral
Shareholders will not go unpunished ...

Darwin Award winners revealed.
The top Darwin Award goes to a crazy Frenchman from La Rochelle, France.
Jean Paul Turcaud claims he was the real discoverer of Western Australia's
largest gold mine.
Over thirty years ago he took his claim to the West Australian Supreme Court
and his fraudulent claim was thrown out of court.
Mr. Turcaud also claims to be the inventor of a new form of Geological
exploration, which he calls "True Geology". No one, other than Mr. Turcaud,
seems to have heard of this so-called "True Geology" or know anything about
it. Mr. Turcaud also claims to be an Australian Mining Pioneer. Gold was
first discovered in Australia, in substantial quantities in the 1850's. Mr.
Turcaud's claim, to be an Australian Mining Pioneer, has left most
Australians perplexed.
Two bank robbers have taken second place, of the 2009 Darwin Awards, after
they blew themselves up while trying to crack open a cash machine.
The Belgian pair used so much explosive to get their hands on the money that
they destroyed the whole bank building.
When police arrived at the scene, they found one of them with severe head
injuries, and rushed him to hospital where he died shortly after arrival.
Investigators initially assumed that his accomplice had managed a getaway,
but the second one's body was excavated from the debris twelve hours later.
Wendy Northcutt, the founder of the annual awards, declared them the 2009
winners of the Darwin Awards, given to those "doing the most to improve the
human gene pool by removing themselves from it".
The bank robbers just edged ahead of their main rival, but still behind Mr.
Turcaud, Shawn Motero who was stuck in a traffic crawl in Florida when he
needed to answer a call of nature.
With no toilet handy, he got out of the car before jumping over a concrete
wall to find a more secluded spot.
Unfortunately, the 30-year-old had not realised he was on a bridge, and fell
65 feet to his death. Award organisers said it proved you should "look
before you leak".
In fourth place was the first ever woman to be nominated for the award.
Rosanne Tippett drove her moped into a flooded river, despite the warning
signs.
She was rescued by police, but died after jumping back into the river in an
attempt to recover the two-wheeler.

You can't discover a gold mine - unless you mean in an archaeological
sense which is not the case for the Telfer - thus whoever is making that
claim *is* a fruitcake.
Turcaud did however discover the Telfer gold resource - and the fellow
who claims that *he* did has discovered nothing of any significance that
I am aware of except maybe how to get investors to open their wallets.

A side-effect of our legal system is that people who discover or create
things often get fleeced by people who have no morality and better legal
skills.
If *you* had made a major discovery, how would *you* deal with the fact
of someone not giving you credit for it? What have you discovered or
achieved, that is, except how to kick a man when he's down?

So you admit:

So now you're saying that I only started two threads, make up your
mind.
In any event, I only started them because I wanted a little sport and
I knew they'd flush you out in a nanosecond. Such is your desire to

Don't get excited, Tex. It was just a little sport. Nothing more.

"hovel", "scouring". Words lifted straight out of my most recent

A bit hard to admit something that never happened.
Unlike your claim that Yuri Gagarin's orbit of the earth was a hoax.
...still denying that by diversion, are you, Tex?

While normal people spent Christmas with family and friends, Tex spent
it in a darkened room huddled over his keyboard feverishly typing up
posts from just after midnight on Christmas Day to just after midnight
on Boxing Day.
.......what a sad, lonely, friendless little freak.
And rofl, get this. Tex's standard excuse has always been him
blubbering "but you could only find 9 posts in 26 hours, Sergey". An
excuse he quickly jettisoned after I came up with another eight posts
that he also sent over Christmas, making a total of 17, which of
course made it impossible for him to have even had time for a piss,
let alone time to celebrate Christmas with anyone. <huge snigger>
Tex's additional Christmas Day posts.....

Quite sad really.
The poor bastards also on record as saying that he spends NYE with a
mate who comes up from Adelaide. Just the two of them, alone at home.
Care to deny it, Tex. because I'll be happy to supply your drunken
admission. :-}
How fucking sad is that?
No seriously! Just how sad *is* that? I defy anyone to read how Tex
spends Christmas and NYE without choking up.

I'm in an expansive mood Tex. So let's make it five. :-}

How many threads was that? You can't seem to make up your mind. LOL
In any event, I only started them because I wanted a little sport and
I knew they'd flush you out in a nanosecond. Such is your desire for a
kicking.
Let's face it, it's not everyday one comes across an infatuated,
obsessive person such as yourself to ridicule.

What's rather telling is your refusal to supply that list.
Why is that list, Tex? <victorious smirk>
> You also seem to follow me into other threads. Talk about obsession.
But I had, and indeed still do have, a simple solution to see who it
is that's obsessed with who, and you wimped out because it showed you
up for the love-sick puppy that you are. LOL
> Not to mention the fact that you followed me into this thread.
> Bwaahahahaha :)
I did. To point out that after I accused you of not responding to
anyone else's posts but mine, you quickly fired one off.
The timeline is in the Google archives for all to see.
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

A list of posters that you have responded to, apart from me, in the

Another typical Tex diversion which comprehensively proves my claim.
Poor old Tex, lurching from one drubbing to another, LOL

It clearly doesn't.
But let's put it to the test.
Provide a list of posters that you have responded to, apart from me,
in the last three weeks. And to preempt you if I may...or the last
five weeks.
It all hinges on that Tex. If you refuse to produce that list because
it shows how besotted you are with me, then my case is proven.

... simply spelling it out for you Bhawke retard, as your lack of
answer indicates that you have not understood the question !
How did you guess that I would look up right at the time when your
squadron of Flying Pigs* would be passing by ?
( Sunnyzecunt,Bhawke, Drsir Porky, Tex, Mad of Havana, Stext etc )
By the way, how did you get a clearance to enter the La Rochelle
restricted zone ? Grunting ? ... or as usual for that former stable
boy of Sunnyzecunt (later employed as toilet boy in some RAAF base in
Vietnam) , the rules are made to be challenged, the regulations
ignored & the flying procedures crashed through... no wonder they got
rid of the pretentious fool the day he tried to hijack a chopper & fly
it solo !!! LOL

Greatest Mining Pioneer of Australia of all Times
In fact, like Bhawke_'ze_turd infers, pigs don't fly. (but we all
knew that, didn't we ?)
...but this with the disclaimer that sunnyzecunt aka Mad of Havana
was a flying pig, since a toilet boy in some RAAF base, he stole a
seat from time to time from his poofters' mates
... as for Bhawkezeturd, who most of his life was a farm hand out of
Cudal NSW, he got a ride from time to time with the crop dusters from
Hazelton, visiting his Master's property for fertilizers spreading
purpose ! I remember I took one of those characters once on board ...
gee what a stink ! .... It could have been Bhawkezeturd, for all I
know ?
Hence it appears clearly that Flying Pigs exist ! ... the 2-legged
kind !

> Australia Mining Pioneer
that will INDEED be great mate
look forward to meeting you if at all possible mate
I will be very pleased to show you the ancient mines and harbors
wehave located in South Australia from the bronze age
Clearly the so called Land of Punt was INDEED located in soyuth
Australia
i note another Doco on the search has been made
Pity they wasted so much money when the FACTS clearly show where it
was for ANYBODY to see , the mounting EVIDENCES are now over whelming
mate
Look forward to showing you when you visit , let the so called EXPERTS
show how SLOW they are at discovering what REAL EXPERTS found long ago
Let them expose their level of ignorance for all the world to see ,
there is no doubt what so ever the ancient land of PUNT is located in
South Australia , and the so called EXPERTS will all be EXPOSED as
clueless fools in due time
kanga
====
repost of link to latest DOCO may be worth watching mate , they wont
take long now to locate the mine sites in South Australia , once they
actually stop to look , then make a NEW doco ASAP
Who ever is able to watch this SHOULD do so
the lost land of Punt is here is South Australia and who ever is able
to move quickly could be world famous and probably very rich too
There is no doubt what so ever the lost land of Punt is indeed right
here in South Australia and was based in mount barker with the port at
Milang and mines at Callington and Echunga
the evidence is over whelming and there is no doubt what so ever
WATCH it if you can
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/pharaoh/
some lucky person will one day joint the dots to see Im right , how to
cash in is another matter
The EXPERTS are still scratching their heads looking , but it wont be
long now until they actually examine the South Australian sites and
Admit , Kanga was indeed right all along
There was indeed a truly VAST mining settlement at the lower Lakes and
near Mount Barker and the EVIDENCE all fits perfectly
WHY the experts refuse to accept the FACTS is simply amazing
How can so many closed minds over look so much evidence for so long ,
its now only months away from them discovering that kanga as unusual ,
was right all along

Dear Mr Kanga,
I am confident I shall be in Australia for the 40th anniversary of
Telfer Mine discovery 14th October 2010, and will visit for the first
time the town of Telfer Mine I put on the map of the land. I will put
a few days aside to visit you in Mt Barker, as well as your Fabian
Ancient Mine discovery.
I have some technique which I will implement on the site & we shall
take aerial photos under particular lighting. Which photos, of course,
shall be handed down to you as to establish the validity of your
amazing & eye opening Archaeology discovery of World importance indeed
( since fitting amazingly with the Turino papyrus map) .
There is a very special point which has been overlooked in the
Aborigenes tradition and this circumcision practiced on both male &
female. This is itself a demonstration of Egypt influence & the
implementation of their known technique to turn people into Negroes,
to wit endocrine mutilation of both males & females. The very
operating mode of genetic manipulation based on the endocrine
interface is not known at all & looked upon either as related to
mysterious tradition or religious sects ' spooky inspiration. In fact
it is due as you so well surmise, to some ancient knowledge which
survived in the Egyptian temples up to our era, and this implies that
far more advanced civilizations than conceived now existed before
Earth was nearly destroyed approx 12 000 years ago. This is what the
official science has done its utmost to deny, just like it is denying
closer to us the evident imprint of Phoenician entrepreneurship in
South Australia & the demonstration of their mining ventures which you
so cleverly unearthed.
Looking forward to meet you soon.& please be assured once again of my
unfailing support in your research
Jean-Paul Turcaud
kangarooistan
Look forward to it mate , all going well , the evidence continues to
mount and every new piece shines more and more light on the big
picture mate
no much found 12000 years old other than stone tools and rocks , most
recorded history is hard to see before the copper age / bronze age
that seems about 6000 / 10,000 years ago
There are heaps of new things that may add to the explanation and some
that we may still be over looking ,
Im still not 100% who was the main people behind the mining and is
perhaps it may be several , Say Egyptian owners , Phoenician traders
and perhaps " IVC / labour ,
I CAN identify linguistic middle Egyptian traces in the languages and
not so much ancient Arabic in the aboriginal languages
I think I have located the port in Egypt the ships would have used to
unload and the stone blocks seen in the district match as do the time
both were abandoned
Seems the bronze age collapse WAS indeed in some way involved
The volume of tin mined from the lower lakes would have supplied 10
times that from Cornwall , and it seems to me that when the mines in
south Australia vanished it left the ancient world in a bronze
drought lasting hundreds of years
Im wondering if a landslide of events combined to basically destroy
every civilization on earth at the exact same time
Every civilization all collapsed at the SAME time
EVEN the mine at the lower lakes
It may be volcanoes in some places wars in another earth quakes in
another that COMBINED to bring down the entire world economy
It MAY yet be some mystery of the so called
" sea people " not yet fully explained
BUT it seems something world wide created a real mess of international
economy and trade
I suspect this ancient port city contains MANY interesting insights as
to what we may expect to see at the south Australian end , granted on
a tiny scale as South Australia was only a mine
And Pi Ramesses was the capital of Egypt at about the time
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi-Ramesses
Interesting how it was only RECENTLY discovered mate , , if they had
trouble seeing the capital , how hard will it be trying to get EXPERTS
to see the ancient mines from that era , interestingly there MAY be
some similarities in that BOTH sites seem to be in places where the
river serving they now runs in a different place , PROBABLY earth
quake here and may be ALSO even in Egypt and the SAME in the IVC ,
seems POSSIBLE earth quakes removed the all importand rive access ??
possibly
If the EXPERTS failed to notice the capital of Egypt , no wonder they
FAILED to spot the ancient mine sites in south Australia , it took a
local miner to NOTICE things dont add up unless you accept the mine
site IS 3200 years old tin / gold / copper mine

The LCROSS mission in my view was a scam. Inferring that a spectra
picked up something for a pico-second of time during the crash of a
metal object does not mean there is lots of water there. Also the blue
color in the south pole spectra in my view is simply indicating that
obviously receiving less direct to no direct sunlight this region is
colder, therefore you would expect the color blue as an indication of
a cold for the entire spectra of the surface.
And don't forget that the chief proponent of this "moon water
endeavor" was arrested for various breaches involving money, fraud and
spying.

Simple chemistry and physics calculations will tell you what exists
where, but these people have to collect paychecks and what easier way
is there than to blind the public with hocus-pocus and smoke and
mirrors. If there was water on the Moon anywhere, Eugene Shoemaker
would have said so in early 1981-83 but he emphasized the it was nil
to non-existent from examining lunar samples, and there is no reason
to believe that the lunar surface and environment is more hospitable
and conducive to accommodating water now more than it was 30 years
ago.

Well, that's your view, but it did have a neat theme song. Shall we do
top 10 scientific music videos then?
