I think that is a diagram of a virus.

it’s a nuke, Fat Boy, I believe.

There are new pictures released of the Lascaux cave paintings. What did they use for illumination that did not leave soot behind?

Landshark is right, it is a diagram of a virus.

If only all that hadn’t been covered… Imagine where we’d be today.

humm, After the buffalo is a unicorn, an atom, a man being taken into a space ship, DNA, and your guess is as good as mine.

FIG MINTS

The item is a computer chip that’s implanted under the skull so you can get advertising 24/7 -365 interrupted by a program

Can you imagine the look on the modern day archeologists face as they scrape away the plaster? Priceless!

The virus (left of the mass-energy equivalence) is a bacteriophage - its outline is so distinctive that it can’t be mistaken (if you know viruses). It reproduces by attacking bacteria. I got a book when I was ten years old or so with plenty of electron micrographs of those things “eating” E. coli bacteria.

I’ve been trying to reason backwards and figure out why Peter would want all his discoveries (I presume they are his) covered over. It doesn’t compute - Peter was never one to hide anything about his brilliance.

Any ideas, folks, about his motivations?

Just imagine what was lost when the Library of Alexandra was burned???? I’ve often wondered where we’d be with all that lost information.

I think this act of destroying knowledge has something to do with the church :-p

The last item is just a “weather balloon”…..LOL

Glad you put “christians” in quote, Clark. If they were truly following Christ, they wouldn’t have done those things.

@Johanan: He’s not remodeling, presumably because he doesn’t think they look good. The irony is that they’re so nonchalant about it, and the illustrations are nothing to the cave men, whereas future society didn’t discover those things until later. Thanks probably in part to Peter covering them up.

This is going in my Favorites.

just when you thought you were the first…

how about the moon lander

Currently watching Ancient Aliens on the History Channel, I think Peter maybe onto more then we realise…..

Thanks for the link, JP Steve. That is absolutely fascinating. It looks like an SF artist’s idea of an alien robot.

no weirder than the renaissance paintings of ufos

I wouldn’t be surprised if it IS an alien nanobot. Not all pre-human structures are necessarily natural. They’re just assumed so because non-human intelligence is not confirmed.

I sure thought I left a message this morning. Wonder what happened.

It is highly unlikely there were ever millions of scrolls in the Library of Alexandria, Clark, and no one knows how many managed to survive Caesar’s conquest and Zenobia’s revolt. I’m not aware of any sources that refer to books or scrolls being burnt during the destruction of the Serapeum in 391. The accounts of that destruction vary along partisan lines: the Christians blamed the pagans; the pagans blamed the Christians. Also, I’m not sure which particular bit of fiction you pulled the part about Hypatia from, but she was murdered 24 years later. Once again, the accounts of precisely who was responsible for her death and the reasons for it differ.

Please do check your sources before you start lamenting the destruction of knowledge.

Nabuquduriuzhur: That is a diagram of a virus … it looks like a T4 Bacteriophage actually …

Hey, don’t plaster that. You are Steven Hawkins of B.C.
