Ancient Skeleton
|
In 1913, a german professor named Hans Reck, dug his way to a skeleton in Tanzania that boggled the scientific community. During his stay at Olduvai Gorge, Reck found a modern homo sapiens skeleton that remains a mystery to this day. This modern skull is from a fully human skeleton found that year. The human skeletal remains, including this complete skull, were cemented in the rock and had to be chipped with hammers and chisels. It was found in the upper end of a rock bed dated at more than 1,000,000 years old. How did this modern human find his way at least 800.000 years into the past?
Another ancient skeleton In 1896, workers excavating a dry dock in Buenos Aires found a modern human skull. The Pre-Ensenadan stratum in which the Buenos Aires skull was found is a least 1.0 - 1.5 million years old. Even at 1 million years the presence of a fully modern human skull anywhere in the world is highly anomalous. Did in fact fully developed Homo Sapiens enter Buenos Aires over one million years ago?
3-4 million year old skull Late in the summer of 1860, Professor Giuseppe Ragazzoni, a geologist and teacher at the Technical Institute of Brescia, found an ancient skull. He traveled to the nearby locale of Castenedolo, about 10 kilometers southeast of Brescia, to gather fossil shells in the Pliocene strata exposed in a pit at the base of a low hill, the Colle de Vento. Here he discovered this remarkable and anatomically modern human skull. The stratum from which it was taken is assigned to the Astian stage of the Pliocene. According to modern authorities, the Astian belongs to the Middle Pliocene, which would give the skull an age of 3 - 4 million years. Why and how did this modern human visit Italy nearly two million years before human beings walked the planet?
