* "Carbon-14-dated dinosaur bones are less than 40,000 years old" (newgeology.us/presentation48.html) [archive.is/LXYQh] [begin excerpt]: Researchers have found a reason for the puzzling survival of soft tissue and DNA fragments in dinosaur bones - the bones are younger than anyone ever guessed. Carbon-14 (C-14) dating of multiple samples of bone from 8 dinosaurs found in Texas, Alaska, Colorado, and Montana revealed that they are only 22,000 to 39,000 years old.
Members of the Paleochronology group presented their findings at the 2012 Western Pacific Geophysics Meeting in Singapore, August 13-17, a conference of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS). [...]
Dr. Thomas Seiler, a physicist from Germany, gave the presentation in Singapore. He said that his team and the laboratories they employed took special care to avoid contamination. That included protecting the samples, avoiding cracked areas in the bones, and meticulous pre-cleaning of the samples with chemicals to remove possible contaminants. Knowing that small concentrations of collagen can attract contamination, they compared precision Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) tests of collagen and bioapatite (hard carbonate bone mineral) with conventional counting methods of large bone fragments from the same dinosaurs. "Comparing such different molecules as minerals and organics from the same bone region, we obtained concordant C-14 results which were well below the upper limits of C-14 dating. These, together with many other remarkable concordances between samples from different fossils, geographic regions and stratigraphic positions make random contamination as origin of the C-14 unlikely".
The theoretical limit for C-14 dating is 100,000 years using AMS, but for practical purposes it is 45,000 to 55,000 years, depending on the type of equipment. The half-life of C-14 is 5730 years. If dinosaur bones are 65 million years old, there should not be one atom of C-14 left in them.
Clearly something is wrong with the conventional wisdom about dinosaur bones, but it has been hard to reach the public with the information. Despite being simple test results without any interpretation, they were not allowed to be presented in conference proceedings by the 2009 North American Paleontological Convention, the American Geophysical Union in 2011 and 2012, the Geological Society of America in 2011 and 2012, and by the editors of various scientific journals. On one occasion, they were allowed to display a poster (newgeology.us/Carbon-14 comparison.pdf) [is.gd/a8JPq5]. The information was finally published in an online journal on January 3, 2020 (researchopenworld.com/the-search-for-solutions-to-mysterious-anomalies-in-the-geologic-column/) [archive.is/Clelg], presenting the Carbon-14 data from dinosaur bones alongside similar data from other material in the geologic column. [...]
Many dinosaur bones are not petrified. Dr. Mary Schweitzer, paleobiology researcher and professor of biological sciences at North Carolina State University, surprised scientists in 2005 when she reported finding soft tissue in dinosaur bones. She started a firestorm of controversy in 2007 and 2008 when she reported that she had sequenced proteins in dinosaur bone.
Critics charged that the findings were mistaken or that what she called soft tissue was really biofilm produced by bacteria that had entered from outside the bone. Schweitzer answered the challenge by testing with antibodies. Her report in 2009 confirmed the presence of collagen and other proteins that bacteria do not make. [...]
Schweitzer wondered why such materials are preserved when all the models say they should be degraded. She coauthored a paper published in 2014 proposing that there is a role for iron in preserving proteins in fossil tissues (royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rspb.2013.2741) [archive.is/p4uk6]. However, iron is not always present in dinosaur soft tissue. Jasmina Wiemann coauthored a paper published in 2018 proposing a different solution to the problem: polymerization of proteins in oxidative settings (nature.com/articles/s41467-018-07013-3) [archive.is/JtB9o]. A 2019 report in Science magazine explained more about these findings (science.sciencemag.org/content/366/6462/176) [archive.is/6ZQ4g] (science.sciencemag.org/content/366/6462/176.full) [archive.is/GK4wc], showing that although the protein structure in selected dinosaur bones was changed, their organic material is apparently original. Yet the associated brown and black bones and residues constitute only a portion of the preserved organics in dinosaur bones, as described by Brian Thomas (http://newgeology.us/Preserving%20organics%20in%20deep%20time.pdf) [is.gd/gRx8m5].
However it is preserved, if the original organic material in dinosaur bones is less than 55,000 years old it could reasonably be expected to contain measurable Carbon-14, and so it does. For years, until their access was blocked, the Paleochronology group had AMS laboratories conduct Carbon-14 tests on dinosaur bones. The tests yielded dates in the range of 22,000 to 39,000 years before present. [end excerpt]

When these attempts failed, they turned to the fruit itself and were able to culture adult plants from placental tissue. The team grew 36 specimens from the tissue. The plants looked identical to modern specimens until they flowered, at which time the petals were observed to be longer and more widely spaced than modern versions of the plant. Seeds produced by the regenerated plants germinated at a 100% success rate, compared with 90% for modern plants. Scientists are unsure why the observed variations occur.
According to Robin Probert of the Millennium Seed Bank, the demonstration is “by far the most extraordinary example of extreme longevity for material from higher plants” to date. It is not surprising to find living material this old, but is surprising that viable material could be recovered,” she added.
The reasons for the success of the experiment can be manyfold. The Russian scientists involved speculated that the tissue cells were rich in sucrose which acted as a preservative. They also noted that DNA damage caused by gamma radiation from natural ground radioactivity at the site was unusually low for the plant material’s age and is comparable to levels observed in 1300-year-old lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) seeds proven to germinate.

The megalithic empire
...But how are we to present this other, so much different, facet of the history of Europe? The “humans of the megaliths” left practically nothing besides their enormous blocks of stone to signal their passage on Earth!
Should we be surprised that for a long time their fate hadn’t aroused anybody’s interest? To the peasant, a dolmen in the middle of his fields was merely a hindrance, associated with some superstitious fear. Didn’t the Middle Ages see in them the work of the Giants which the Bible incidentally mentions? Many a best-selling author threw in some extra-terrestrial levitation technicians. In the XIX century, these works were considered to be posterior to the Roman period, because Caesar did not mention them. [end excerpt]

Gunnar has, since 1987, rediscovered the supposedly untraceable Chaldaean cradle of civilization in land of Kal, the indigenous name of the so-called Sumerians, dated some 1600 years earlier but unknown before the 1860s. Ninos, the first “world ruler” mentioned by the Greeks he has identified with Nimrod and Naram Sin of the Bible and the Old Akkadians respectively (pic.: Stele of Naram Sin of Akkad, Musée du Louvre, Paris). The deleted Empire of the Medes, Indo-Aryan horse breeders, he has tracked down in the Mitanni, no less Indo-Aryan horse breeders that were unknown before the late 19th century. The powerful Scythians - competing with the Medes for domination – he sees in the Qutheans trying to take over the Near East some 1600 years earlier.
He claims that he can even pin down the time and context of the Exodus or King David’s battle for Jerusalem that scholars have pushed aside as mere fairy tales.
JERUSALEM AND ROME is a very brief text. Yet, we believe that it contains enough challenging material to reconsider the past of our civlization.
