There is something about this article that kind of annoys me. It's my understanding that back in the year 1006, the entire world was not using the same calendar. Each of these obse…

Here is a drawling of what they think this tablet says: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:YBC_7289_sketch.svg It's just a bunch of numbers scribbled onto a tablet. For all we…

How is this different from seeing a fuzzy video of some lights in the sky and then coming to the conclusion that it is definitely a UFO? If you're so convinced that this carving de…
