I know for a fact (I have a high interest in archeology) that during the early 1900's, a lot of archeologists actually only cared about finds that would generate money, so if they didn't get anything for it, they just chucked it in the bin. Modern time archeologists have been doing work on previously known places and found a lot of items that the previous archeologists just left in the ground.

The hammer was found in a mine (or may have been a cave can't remember) water dripping through the rock carried disolved bits of limestone which when it fell onto the hammer formed a concretion of stone. As the rock is millions of years old any radioisotope testing of the concretion from the rock would date it back to that time. Even though the concretion formation is only a few years old. Short of hitting atoms with a neutron source radioactive decay is pretty steady even changing the form the isotope is in (dissolving it, melting it, freezing it etc) does nothing to change this thus the rock will always date to the same age.

Hard to believe that "experts" believe that anything is 400,000,000 years old. They believe in "uniformitarianism," which means that things that take a certain amount of time have always taken the same amount of time. It turns out that probably isn't true. In the case of carbon 14 dating, dates before a certain period of time need the numbers adjusted to match proven dates of things based on dendrochronology and astronomy. If carbon 14 decays at different rates at different times, then perhaps other things do as well. The eruption of Mt. St. Helens was in the 80s, but rock has already formed from the ash, dirt, and pebbles from that eruption.

This was dismissed, yet recently documents were found in Spanish archives which not only confirmed that his chart existed and had his name on it, Amerike, but also that Columbus had actuallt used it. Therefore, it was Richard Amerike's surname on the original chart that was used as the name of America, not Amerigo Vespucci first name. It would in fact be unprecedented to use a commoners first name in such a way. The interesting thing is, that its also claimed that Bristol fishermen knew of lucrative fishing grounds off the coast of America for centuries before, but kept it quiet.

Do you understand? The coin wasn't just found on the beach, surrounded by nothing. It was found in an archaeological dig...a poorly recorded one, but one nonetheless...containing artifacts OF A SIMILAR AGE to the coin. That is, if your 19th century $10 Eagle was discovered in the theretofore undisturbed grave of Thomas Redman, who died in 1868, then they would identify the coin and Redman as *contemporaries* , but would NOT identify your Ikea desk as such.

There was one faucet for drinking water that didnt run the water through the water softener. About every 3 years, you had to chip bits of concretion off the faucet mouth. It was caked on around the faucet mouth and the consistency of cement. If you didnt do that, the concretion would have turned into a foot long stalactite within a decade. The London Hammer is nothing spectacular. Anyone who grew up with a highly mineralized well will tell you how fast concretion can grow.

If limestone is buried deep under layers of other sediments, heat and pressure will turn it into marble over the course of millions of years.

I wouldn't actually find it surprising if odd bits of Norse artifacts are found here and there along the US East coast over time (other than they would just be few and hard to find). The fact they made it to Newfoundland, and that they had a tendency to just follow coast lines for extremely long distances to see what is to be found suggests there might have been a voyage or two along the East Coast. It's not like they kept good records of anything. Of course that doesn't mean they did much other than sailing down and back up and maybe occasionally meeting some natives and possibly trading with a few or hauling interesting things back home. There's just as equal a chance they never did go anywhere near the US coastline either. Another thing I've always wondered is how much "junk" could have crossed the Atlantic or Pacific over time and ended washed up on shorelines either carried by storms or lodged inside dead sea life. We see such in the modern day plenty, even metal objects not just plastics and the like. Or how many people might have been swept out to sea and actually survived to also wash up on a far coastline. As unlikely as it is for anyone to have intentionally made it across those oceans before deep sea sailing, it had to have happened a few times on accident. I find it improbable that the Old World and the New World stayed perfectly, pristinely isolated for thousands of years without the odd something or someone washing up here or there.

This is exactly why it wasn't until 1960 that it was accepted that the norse traveled to NFLD. There had been local legends through out NFLD for more than a hundred years of viking artifacts. Many of which were probably fabricated. many of which were probably displaced from private collections and then later found. The burden of proof to 'officially' change history is quiet high. It took finding actual DNA evidence very recently of Polyansian travel to south america for the scientific community to widely accept it as fact. Despite there being a great deal of evidence for a very long time now.

A researcher at Mt St Helens has concluded from his weekly observations of the event and the aftermath, that fossilization is a long process, but what began that process and put the objects into that position was most likely from a single event lasting days or weeks and even erosion was not always centuries but a single flood or eruption. Long term erosion does not leave sharp jagged cliffs but sudden flow events do. Coal fields were formed over centuries, not eons. The timelines have been skewed because we didn't know enough.

I dug up a 4 inch sewer drain in my back yard that was installed in 1956. The loose dirt and clay that originally buried the pipe had hardened to a stone like hardness leaving a perfect impression of the pipe. It doesn't take millions of years for sediments to harden. This hammer is around 4-5,000 years old. It belonged to someone who died prior to Noah's flood. It's comprised of an alloy than can only be produced under greater atmospheric pressure (around 30 psi). Incidentally high air pressure causes plants and animals to grow larger. Our world changed drastically after Noah's flood.

I have recently wondered about 65000yo bones found in Australia being described as Australian Aboriginal bones pertaining to the present Australian Aboriginal population. The present Aboriginal peoples have always been said to be @40000yo. Without dna is it not possible that the older bones are bones of a previously existing people that were already here and perhaps already gone when the current Aboriginal people came here 40000 years ago. Or possibly wiped out by the Australian Aboriginal people that did arrive here @40000 years ago. I think this is entirely possible as new discoveries are being made in Asia which both clarify and create new questions about human movement. The fact that dingoes were brought here @3500 years ago means there were other comings of people to our shores, although that too is something no one is allowed to talk about as it creates questions about the age of the present Aboriginal peoples. Perhaps the current Australian Aboriginals came here 3500 yrs ago and wiped out the 40000yo peoples or the 40000yo peoples were already gone. We do not have a lot of verified information here in Australia from back then. I never thought of archaeology or anthropology as possibly left wing but in today’s age I have been proven wrong on that point several times already so I don’t trust that all questions have been raised and considered. Some questions are not allowed to be asked here so the “answers”we have are hardly conclusive. Just curious if you think these are valid questions….

Flying fish are mid-ocean creatures not usually found in the near shore zone. There's no archeological or other scientific evidence the cultures on the Pacific coast of South America traveled far enough out into the ocean to become familiar with flying fish. In addition, flying fish don't have vertical tail surfaces or delta shaped wings. The fins they use to glide over the water look like fins not wings.
@DH.2016

We must agree to disagree. For example, Search on KZitem and you'll find video footage of flying fish off the coast of California. From what I've seen, it definitely confirms that the tail fins are held vertically when gliding. There are also over 60 types of flying fish. Also remember that the Inca Empire stretched along most of the western coast of South America (plus the Aztec Empire would have had knowledge of the modern day Mexican coast in the north) so it is perfectly plausible that they would know about flying fish. As for the delta shape, I think the artefacts have been stylised because of practical difficulties in manufacture or to make the items more robust for the use they were intended for. (e.g., one of many views is that some were funeral urns). For me, its the evidence of advanced construction techniques used at the likes of Machu Picchu or Pumapunku attributed to so called primitive peoples that is more of a mystery than these artefacts. @@marielarrison101 🤓

Fish tails (vertical) go side to side, mamalian (horizontal) tails go up and down.

Very interesting as usual. When it was announced in the late 1960s that Britain's money was going to be decimalise, there was a rush to save less common dates of very common coins from those in circulation. During this period I removed from my pocket change a few pennies and halfpennies from the Victorian era. Pre-1921 sterling silver shillings, florins and halfcrowns were more numerous than Victorian bronze, and 50% silver coins from George V and George VI were common. I still have hundreds of these coins in a box! It is not a great leap to imagine that a Norse coin from the 10th century, having been used as an inherited pendant, might still be kicking around a couple of hundred years later until lost or discarded in Maine, USA. While the other artefacts shown appeared to be photos of the actual objects, the coin shown appeared to be complete, with no evidence of corrosion or a lost puncture hole. One is forcibly reminded of a certain popular KZitem "archaeology" channel that shows Hollywood film scenes and artefacts from totally different times and cultures to illustrate its narration. Few people have ever had the broad education to distinguish the real from the artificial in such circumstances, and there is a danger that the false image is conflated with the truth. If an original artefact cannot be fairly represented, better it not be falsly visualised unless it's made absolutely clear what's being shown instead.

I'm very surprised you found silver coins circulating in the UK in the late 1960s, especially since you did away with circulating silver entirely in 1947. Canada ended their silver circulating coins in 1968 (after experimenting for a year with .500 fine from .800 fine), and the US took all the silver out of the dime and quarter in mid-1965 (when they finally stopped striking 1964 dated coins), and finally from the debased half dollar (.900 to .400) in 1969 (the 1970 halves weren't produced for circulation.) But I AM impressed that you know the difference in silver content changed, but you're a year off. The sterling to .500 happened in 1920, not 1921. I imagine most folks are unaware of the change from sterling to .500 from 1920 to 1946.

Noone ever considered the possibility that a catastrophic tsunami event could scrub the top soil and loose dirt clean off the face of the earth and deposit it in kilometres thick alluvial plains, to be dicovered later, and thought of as millions of years of deposits instead of one sudden catastrophic event. This could very well explain the artefacts found buried deeper than expected.

Can't wait to see a retraction video when they discover some isolated pocket of still living sivatherium.

How about the Coelacanth? Thought to have been extinct 66 million years ago and then a guy caught one in 1938 off the coast of South Africa. I would have loved to hear the "experts" back-pedaling on that one. I'd sure like it if scientists said "we think" more often and "we know" hardly ever.

@@YourHineyness Thats honestly what I was thinking of. Those "living fossils" that show up occasionally or the confirmed extinct animals that then a isolated group is found like the black footed ferret. Its HIGHLY unlikely, sorta like finding the fabled still living Wooly mammoths, but not entirely impossible either. Definitely agree on the "we know" vs "we think", I'm denser then lead and even I know science should never be taken as 100 percent fact, just fact as far as we know right now.

Thank you. We automatically think we are the smartest people who ever lived because we have cellphones and electric clothes dryers. I think our ancestors were smarter than us because they built awesome structures with hardly any tools, moved multi-ton stones something like 60 miles to Stonehenge, and moved 100 ton stones up high in walls like in the temple at Baalbek. The Great Pyramid being so precisely laid out to within fractions of a degree. The rock at Macchu Picchu being moved from a mountain across the valley and 7000 feet up another mountain. What our ancestors did is amazing. Today the average person can't even figure out how to assemble IKEA furniture with printed instructions. Do we have geniuses? Sure, but I believe the intelligence of the average person has dropped substantially.@@patrickday4206

Norse people, or "vikings" used their earnings from around the world as jewelry, because the value was not in the coin, but the iron, silver and/or gold it was made of.

The issue is that it was found in a pile of discarded shells and bones that dated back to 1200. How did it get there, when the pile had been abandoned for hundreds of years prior to the English landing in that area? The most likely explanation is that it was acquired, or taken from Norse explorers, by natives far to the north, and traded again and again, eventually finding it's way down south. It was probably part of a necklace, and dropped off while someone was working, dumping stuff on the pile.

The Maine penny isn't particularly mysterious. There's a significant body of evidence to support the idea that Greenlanders made periodic trips to North America long after the abandonment of their settlement in Newfoundland. As to how it got to Maine, the most likely explanation is that it was carried there by a Native American. Native American trade networks were extensive. Excavations of the Spiro Mounds in Oklahoma turned up items which originated in Illinois and Mexico. Prehistoric Europeans had trade networks which stretched from the Near East to the British Isles. It would be laughable to suggest that 12th century Native Americans couldn't have traded an interesting trinket from Newfoundland to Maine.

I wouldn't rule out that the people that made the quimbaya artifacts might have had a simple understanding of aerodynamics. Enough to play around with the idea of flight. Like Asian cultures did with kites. And Europeans with early gliding toys. Chances are we'll never know. Because anything that could have glided would have likely been made out of biodegradable materials. To be clear. I don't believe they would have had any conception of powered flight, just enough to make figures and toys.

I want to write a whole story about a lost Viking landing in North America and being taken in as a friend by an outcast Native American. Through struggle and shenanigans, they become like brothers. One day - tragedy. A wild Bear attacks, and though they fight bravely, the Viking is mortally wounded. He gives to his friend the only trinket he has remaining from home: His penny. From that day, the Native American wears it as a symbol of their brotherhood, finally meandering south to Maine, where he spends the rest of his days near that trade hub, before finally passing on, not long after losing his precious amulet.
