Seems like something you should have included in your link-less, original post.


So it's my fault you made a smart arse comment without knowing what you were talking about?

Well, Hell...baw was onto something with the dinosaur asian last week...they applied animal husbandry to Dinosaurs, and trained them to do highly specialized tasks:




And applied this knowledge to industrial construction:

Will do.

I'm reading a good book on it now. If you're interested in this stuff, you might like it:

It starts out with the author investigating the Gobekli Tepe site. Good info.

Good stuff! This was really interesting from it:

"What was so important to these early people that they gathered to build (and bury) the stone rings? The gulf that separates us from Gobekli Tepe's builders is almost unimaginable. Indeed, though I stood among the looming megaliths eager to take in their meaning, they didn't speak to me. They were utterly foreign, placed there by people who saw the world in a way I will never comprehend. There are no sources to explain what the symbols might mean. Schmidt agrees. "We're 6,000 years before the invention of writing here," he says."

Another site that defies logic is Adam's Calendar.

The problem isn't a lack of things to explore, it's that people have lost a sense of wonder and adventure while entertaining themselves with pop culture frivolities.

Cut a hole in that ship of yours and you'll be the first man to set eyes on all kinds of stuff. Probably won't live to tell about it though.

There is plenty to explore.

I bet 95% of people have never climbed the highest peak in their state, hiked down the devil's staircase to swim in the Colorado River, or explored the underwater worlds of Raja Ampat.

There are plenty of places to explore, both near and far. They may not inspire an entire nation like landing on the moon, but they can certainly inspire an individual.

There are literally tribes in places like Brazil who have zero contact with the outside world, so safe to say there are still places on solid ground that we have not explored.
