Your pulse quickens
The Eternal impure
With bloodlust empowered
Our Ezomyr endured
But soon all were devoured
In unending war
Death waited at the door
Then hour by hour.. Men fell as summer soured

You are hunted
Fang, tooth and claw
Tortured under the moon
The pack suffered but endured
And howled now in tune
No tales were told
None new, none old
And their endless hunger... Grew ever stronger

As night falls
Winter's chill
Sought the unworthy
Through an endless night
They wither and tarry
Forsaken frosts
As cold as death
Of Beira's misery... The pack won't forget

The air grows colder
Agnar the Runed
Agnar the Impaler
As swift as death
And imbued by the moon
Cursed or gifted
Branded and afflicted
Your veins soon chilled... Agnar shall slay again

maybe time to sunset the endangered species act, which would be a great step forward

10,000 yrs isn't really that long ago. Humans were already building towns. I find it hard to believe they didn't contribute at all to the demise of multiple animals, both prey and predator.


10k years really wasnt that long ago at all in geological time but humans weren't building towns in north America. The populations here at the time were incredibly sparse and primitive.

The mass extinction in north america was 10-20k years ago. If I am not mistaken over 80 percent of large mammal species in North America went extinct during that time period. It's not a coincidence that the climate changed so rapidly during that particular extinction event. There was an incredible amount of large ungulates that ceased to exist during that time frame. There was also an impressive amount of very large predators suited only to prey upon such large ungulates.

It is heavily debated if it was human activity, climate change or a combination of both. Personally I don't believe there was nearly enough presence of humans at the time to affect such a massive amount of animals over such a wide area. The extinction event started before the clovis people were even established... and they themselves were a nomadic culture with a very sparse population.

We need an Indian Artifact sticky on the Outdoor Board, I have hundreds and love looking at/discussing other peoples finds.


That would be awesome. There is nothing I find more interesting. It's pretty neat to see how the finds vary by region and how far materials traveled.

The pieces I've found with tar had to travel from the gulf up to the mountains of arkansas. There is no source for tar here. Some other finds from here got tested and showed it was likely tar balls that washed up on the gulf.

Novaculite which is only found in the ouachita mountains has been found in the form of artifacts all across the u.s.

A high percentage of the artifacts I've found that date older than 8k years are made of non native stones found in the top half of north America. They had to travel here with nomadic peoples.

Dire wolves, while larger than modern gray wolves, were not as big as some might think, averaging around the size of the largest gray wolves, with a shoulder height of about 80 cm (2.6 ft) and a head-body length of 125 cm (4.1 ft).

Here's a more detailed breakdown of their size:
Shoulder Height: Around 80 cm (2.6 ft).
Head-Body Length: Approximately 125 cm (4.1 ft).
Tail Length: Around 63 cm (2 ft).
Estimated Body Weight: 34-67 kg (75-148 lb).

Despite how ill conceived this misuse of science seems, I admit I’d like to see these given a chance-though we already may have three in Louisiana. Extinct?

They are doing that,

The CEO was on Rogan and sounds like they're actively working on the Tasmanian tiger and American red wolf.

They're doing a lot of work in Louisiana in regards to the red wolf, he didn't specify where or with who but he actively brought up Louisiana when talking about the red wolf

Why? Humans had little to no impact on those animals going extinct. Their climate change super fast relative to geo time and they couldn’t survive. Humans had had a lot less impact on this planet than we want to believe

It's a debated topic. Won't argue because I wasn't there.
