I know this is kind of a contrarian opinion, but I just wanted to put it out there for comment. I was looking at a photo on another thread of NYC in 1890s. It looked like there was a huge pile of trash in front of a building off to the side in the photo. It just made me think, what if the...

I was just reading an article and I noticed this coin in the attached photo. It is another person with this strange, straight nose. 'The Roman Republic may have been long-lasting from 509 to 27 BC. However, it went through many upheavals, including the Great Social War. Here is a silver...

I was just thinking about this supposed mud flood subject earlier today. There is a website I may have mentioned from time to time. It concerns archaeology in the SE USA. The author had mentioned last year- "we have mentioned town sites occupied at least as early as 1000 BC that were abandoned...

I don't know about Siberia, but on the subject of missing old trees in other areas, the area I grew up in in NE USA is today supposed to be as heavily forested as it was when Columbus arrived. But when I was a kid, I saw many old postcards in antique shops and places like that, depicting my own...

This second patent looks like it is using balloons to lift the wires high enough to catch the electricity. It reminds me of this youtube video. I think the guy says he had to go up over 200 feet to get a useable energy differential. I can't tell from this patent how high up the balloons are...

Hi, I just was searching to see if I could add to a thread I had suggested before, but I don't know if I did create a thread or I was just privately communicating with people. So I just looked to see what I could find about church steeples. I would tend to agree that steeples and atmospheric...

Excellent, that is the very thread I was thinking of. As I wrote above, since seeing that, I have noted three live people with this appearance. They actually look a bit odd, but I guess people either don't remark on it, or more likely don't really even notice. People seem to be generally very...

I was just reading the OP here. This is a bit tangential, but I wanted to point something out. Either here or the old site, I think there was a thread about some old American coins and stuff where the people on the coins had a particular profile where the forehead shoots straight into the bridge...

Thanks for moving this post. I came to add something. I read another book, a kind of travelogue by someone from England who was in America virtually at the same time as the author of the above book. A Journey to America in 1834 I noticed reading this guy's book, he is constantly remarking on...

Hi, I just wanted to put this into the record, but I wasn't sure what thread would fit best. I was reading this book about settling Canada in the early 1800s, and I came across some references to 'Indian Summer'. I had thought I knew what that was, but the phenomenon referred to seems to be...

Sorry about the picture. I still see it when I look. You have to expand the part at the top where it has a bunch of 'view attachment' things. Not sure why it looks like that. As for MV, I have heard that before. The population there and on Nantucket I think were basically all just a few families...

I had read a blog post sometime ago, saying that in the 1600s there was a big earthquake in the southeast of the USA. The earthquake caused the ground to open up and it threw up a very thick layer of sand. It didn't say what the mechanism of the creation of the sand was, but I supposed it was...

Not to say that I disagree with the overall thrust of this thread, but the lines connecting those islands I think are just a normal side effect of ocean currents passing along the coasts of islands and moving deposits of sand and rock. This screenshot above is from Martha's Vineyard. You can...

Not sure if this has been posted already. I dont find it from a quick search Ancient Canal Builders - Overview This journey started out with the discovery of a highly complex and technically advanced civilization, called the 'Ancient Canal Builders', which existed on the Atlantic and Gulf...

This could be true, but it reminds me of an article I read a long time ago. I think it was about a Chechen, but I am not sure if it was a Chechen or some other kind of Caucasian. Anyway, this article was about this very old man who lived in that area and he alleged that he had fought the...

this is a good idea, but what would have progressively affected the soil, spreading outwards from NYC, and is still doing it now? I was thinking, I wonder if the spread of disease might follow the course of electrification? I think NYC was one of the first places to use electricity widely, and...

this map just reminded me of this passage: 'Another circumstance may also be mentioned, as making a material difference between the country on one side of the Blue Ridge and that on the other, namely, that behind the mountains the weevil is unknown. The weevil is a small insect of the moth...

I have commented I think on the old site, that I wonder if there has been a fairly recent change in the atmosphere. If you look back not that far, you see people making a living selling lightning rods to every house and farm in America. There seemed to be a lot more lightning back in those days...

Hi, I had commented somewhere on the old website about this guy who used to have a youtube channel. All the videos were just gone one day. Anyway, it was a guy who said he was Anishinaabe and his name was Samuel Poe. He had a long series of videos were he alleged that the Cree in particular...

I have posted this website in another thread I think. The Americas Revealed I believe they mention this Ockmulgee town in several different posts on their website.
