Except there's evidence of human settlement in the Americas well before 10K years ago. The Clovis site, thought to be at it's peak 13K years ago used to be considered the oldest know settlement in the Americas, but additional, older* sites have been identified in the last few years.

In our house, the VCR (three of them for all the TVs!) was king. We would use them to tape shows because we couldn't watch them live. Since two of them were "Good" we didn't have to worry about simultaneous shows, we could tape the both. It was a godsend in the time before streaming.

That is easy .. It was the Zip Drive .. where it would corrupt all your discs.

No I think you nailed it. That's kind of a motif throughout the Gospels (and played with heavily in Last Temptation of Christ) that Jesus was a far different kind of Messiah than people were expecting or wanting. He was neither anti or pro establishment; his view of salvation was focused on the human soul. So in that…

I had the Mattel Football game and loved it, even had the head to head version. My brother-in-law gave me a reproduction version they came out with a few years back and I still pull it out every once in a while.

When I was little I had swords, throwing knives, guns, bombs, booby traps, tree forts, and pretty much every other dangerous device .

Grrrrr, I need that New 3DS, Nintendo!!!!

The fruit of prickly pears is a similar story, it evolved to be eaten by megafauna.

Ugh, no, no, no, no, no, a thousand times no. I'm probably going to get a ton of shit for this, but I say keep those fucking hacks away from anything decent. I hate Hanna Barbera with a steaming passion. They've done two things well. They gave us the original Tom & Jerry, and they made a great backstory/intro to…

I'm from bois d'arc bottom in Texas. The town here used to be called Bois D'arc but was then renamed in honor of a fallen Texas Revolution soldier. Bois d'arc wood is insanely tough and commonly chews up chain saws.

*Avodillo

This type of thing happens all the time in nature. Did you know that birds don't feel the burning sensation of capsaicin so they can eat the fruits and then poop out the seeds of chili peppers far and wide?

I am, in fact, eating an avocado right now. Thanks, Glyptodon!

That's what I got from the picture and little research about the site. Some bodies were dessicated or otherwise naturally mummified which is very different from what most casual readers would think a Egyptian mummie is. I understand the desire to increase visibility for their project but misleading science is still…

It's BYU, so I automatically question everything.

Which is probably why even on paper Dr.Youssef sounds so irritated/exasperated.

I'm far out of my field here but I think I would agree with the ministry that the remains found shoukd not be clsssified as mummies. Specially not what most people consider to be Egyptian mummies. From what little I read most of the bodies are simple burials with objects and the remains weren't processed for…

This is the eternal battle of producing solid archaeological reports versus raising public awareness. In this case, it seems pretty clear that the Egyptologists in question fell afoul of both the desire to make people aware of an interesting find (over realistic and, well, truthful representation of what they…
