2012: Year of the Dragon
In the Chinese calendar, 2012 is the year of the dragon. It is the only of their 12 years that is named after a fictional animal. So are dragons really fictional?
I have investigated the possibility …
Megafaunal Extinction – Still Unsolved
Many scientists have been attempting to find an underlying cause for the demise of large mammals at the end of the last Ice Age. And they will still keep trying, because they aren’t thinking outside …
If the Spotted Horse was real, then…
I actually hadn’t heard of the spotted horse before today.
The spotted horse exists as art found in a Spanish cave that is 25,000 years old – much older than the last global cataclysm, and predating …
Killer Koala Unearthed
Like a giant (size of a rhino) cross between a wombat and a koala, the Diprotodon supposedly died out in Australia 25,000 years ago. As with all other extinct megafauna, experts figure that they were …
70 American Ancestors / Exploding Transformers
By using nine different genes, and real genetic data (instead of estimates) new research suggests that just 70 people crossed the Bering Strait 12-14K years ago. This means that the wiping out of megafauna in North …
Mammoth Killing Humans Caused Mini-Ice Age
I feel like a movie villain after the good guy has fallen into my trap. This is so absurd (to catastrophists), it feels like an April Fool’s Day prank!
The suggestion is as follows:

Mammoths Survived the Cataclysm?
While research into the global cataclysm of roughly 10,000 years ago regularly mentions the extinction of mammoths, it appears that pockets of these giant creatures survived until more recent times.
The core [soil] samples revealed the …
Decline in Megafauna Pre-Dates Clovis, Extraterrestrial Impact

Stegomastadon: Another Unexplained Extinction
Not that I’ve tried to catalog all the extinctions from the cataclysm of 12,000 years ago (or so), because I’ve already seen enough evidence to convince me. However, until today I was not aware of …
Giant Lions Roamed Britain 13,000 Years Ago
In North America, lions 25% bigger than the African lions of today, lived just 13,000 years ago. DNA analysis had helped scientists determine that another breed of large lion (5-10% larger than today), known as …
Mammoths in UK later than thought
Mammoth bones found in Shropshire, England provide the most geologically recent evidence of woolly mammoths in the UK and North Western Europe. The new evidence proves that mammoths existed in Britain long beyond when they …
Mammoth and Rhino in Ancient Scotland
The main thrust of the article from The Scotsman is that human settlements dating to 14,000 years ago have been unearthed in Scotland – the oldest yet. But what stood out, for me, was this …
Flightless Sea Duck – Not Tasty?
The extinction of so many species during the great global cataclysm of 10-12,000 years ago has regularly been put down to lots of hunting, by orthodox science. Supposedly humans crossed the Bering Strait, worked their …

Up to 9 feet (3 meters) long and 70 inches (180 centimeters) tall, some of the marsupials weighed as much as a pickup truck and stood as tall as a person. Others were much smaller, …
Settlers Took a 20,000 Year Rest in Beringia?
According to the new theory, humans heading east after leaving Asia about 40,000 years ago were blocked by two huge glaciers that met at present-day Alaska.
With no way forward, the humans settled on the land …
