I just think it's AWESOME that stuff like this can happen. Not the endangered whale dying part, but natural phenomena that, with all our scientific equipment and data, still surprises and astounds us with new developments. It's random things like this happening that keeps me confident that there are far better explanations for historical mysteries than anything having to do with ancient aliens...
Sorry guy...love the show but "aliens came and built the pyramids" is not the next logical explanation.
The author's level of analysis is truly astonishing. The real mystery is why the "unusually high tied (sic)" didn't leave behind any other oceanic relics to give credence to such a moronic theory. Go back to the drawing board, people.
ReplyDeletei dunno if by author you mean me...but I'll put forth an idea that may curb your distrust of the theory a bit. We have tides, some as much as 40 ft, all over the world all the time, every day. Other than sand, small shells and small rocks, not a whole lot is usually left stranded on beaches as the tide floats back out to see. We don't have beaches covered with beached fish every time a tide goes back out, we don't have seaweed, we don't have ancient submerged trash...most tides bring nothing into land that we notice...SO, with a large tide, I wouldn't expect anything different. I suspect the whale was swimming close to shore, as whales do when they are sick or dying, followed the high tide in and didn't have the strength to get back out to see. For instance, we find whales washed up on beaches all the time because of their own doing...this whale may have been on the way to beaching itself, only to follow an unusually high tide, much farther in than normal...maybe pose a question before calling a theory "moronic"?
ReplyDeleteI guess the main thing I'd point out to you is that oceans are, for the most part, full of nothing but water. There isn't a ton of "relics" floating around in comparison to the emptiness. Therefore, the chance that multiple "relics" would show up is pretty small. I suspect the whale is there mostly from it's own doing, able to reach farther inland with the help of the tide, not caused by the tide...think of it this way...if you took a net a mile long and a mile wide and a 100 feet deep and dipped it at a random spot in the ocean, I think you'd find almost nothing in that netqualifying as "relics" 99% of the time.
