What’s the Aluminum Wedge of Aiud?

The question is, “What’s the Aluminum Wedge of Aiud?”

A wedge like a hammer head was found in 1974 in Aiud Romania with two mastodon bones that were found to be around 11,000 years old.

Now this wasn’t unusual until you find out what the wedge was made of.

Surprisingly it was made of aluminum and cased in a thin layer of oxide. This was a surprise mainly due to the fact that aluminium had not been discovered until 1808 and that it had not been produced until 1885.

So how could an object shaped as a hammer head made out of a material we hadn’t even discovered then, be found?

Well that is a question.

Now I’m no Archaeologist but could it be possible that before dinosaurs and humans were created on Earth, another species existed?

Or could this simply be the Mjolnir – Thor’s Hammer?

What do you think?

What’s A Tyrannosaurus Drip?

I read the children’s book called, “Tyrannosaurus Drip.

This children’s book was written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by David Roberts.

This delightful children’s book tells the story about a stolen duck billed dinosaur egg that gets put into a Tyrannosaurus nest by accident.

The Tyrannosaurus parents know something’s not quite right once all three eggs have hatched as two baby dinosaurs are the image of the parents whilst the third baby dinosaur’s appearance is quite different.

Then one day the Tyrannosaurus parents and siblings go on a hunting expedition excluding the duck billed dinosaur.

Upset the duck billed dinosaur runs away, but to his amazement he comes across some extraordinary dinosaurs that happen to look just like him.

It’s a wonderful story about being different and the need to belong.

So take a leaf out of the duck billed dinosaurs book and if you feel that either you don’t fit in or don’t belong then don’t be a clone and stick around, set-up your own group about the things that you like and then the future will look quite bright.

So read the book or listen to the story on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

What's HD164595?

The question is, “What's HD164595?”

In August 2016 scientists were intrigued to find that signals were coming from a sun like star known to many as HD164595 although it had been noted that the Russians had detected the same signal the previous year.

A spike was detected in this star that’s about 95 light years away from Earth in the Hercules constellation.

So is this an alien civilization that’s trying to communicate with us, a rogue satellite that’s unexpectedly come back to life, or has Earth been communicating with aliens all along but it’s only now that it’s been noticed?

In my opinion whoever’s sending the signal is more intelligent then us Earthlings especially as they appear to have technology that’s so advanced that it can send a strong signal from a beacon 95 light years away that can be seen by us?

And to think I can’t even get a strong signal on Earth to use my mobile?

But hey I’m no scientist, what do you think?

The Princess And The Wizard

I read the children’s book called, “The Princess and the Wizard.

This children’s book was written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Lydia Monks.

It tells the story of a wicked wizard that unexpectedly shows up at Princess Eliza’s birthday party.

Angry that he’d not been invited to the party he turned all her family to stone.

Fortunately Eliza’s fairy godmother arrived late to the birthday party and after seeing what had happened she waved her magic wand giving Eliza seven chances to escape the wizard, but then the wicked wizard turned the fairy godmother to stone.

Princess Eliza’s only hope now lies with the magical seven chances given to her by her fairy godmother, but will these be enough to release Princess Eliza from the wicked wizards clutches or will she have to remain with him forever?

Find out what happens in the end by reading the book or you could watch it on Youtube then you can tell me what you think.

What Is Skull Binding?

The question is, “What is Skull Binding?

I read an article about an ancient woman’s remains that’s estimated to be around 2,000 years old that had being discovered in central Russia’s Chelyabinsk region.

Scientists have dismissed the idea that this new discovery was of an alien female and suggest that her elongated skull was due to it being tied up.

Apparently this is what the tribes did to the children in those days. However there is no mention of any other remains found or if the same was done to the males.

Is it possible that the skull could be elongated at the time of birth whilst the babies’ soft spot on the head is still visible?

But wouldn’t the force of binding incur pain to the infant and possibly damage the brain if the skull was bound to elongate it?

Centuries ago Chinese women and young girls had their feet bound that kept them small. So with this in mind I don’t completely understand how a head becomes elongated and longer rather than smaller and shorter if bound?

The other thing that puzzles me is how do they know that this actually took place, are there records on this ancient tribe?

With no mention of rope or material fibres found should we believe everything we read?

What do you think?

A Not So Clever Rat

I read the children’s book called, “The Highway Rat.

This children’s book was written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler.

A delightful children’s book about a very bad Highway Rat that takes everything he wants from traveller’s including the traveller’s food.

However the greedy Highway Rat becomes unstuck when he meets a duck.

To save herself she takes him to meet her sister who lives in a cave that’s he’s heard is filled with lots of delicious food.

So what happens in the end?

You’ll have to read the book or watch the story on Youtube to find out, but I will say it’s a very clever ending.

So why not read the book or listen to it on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.
