During blasting work at Dorchester, Massachusetts in 1851, the broken halves of a bell-shaped vessel were thrown by the force of an explosion from the vessel's resting place in solid rock. The vase, about 4 1/2" high, is made of an unknown metal and embellished with floral inlays of silver - the "art of some cunning workman," according to the local newspaper report. The editor of Scientific American gave as his opinion that the vase had been made by none other than Tubal-cain, the biblical father of metallurgy. In response, Charles Fort - a lifelong connoisseur of anomalies and a dedicated opponent of scientific dogma - said "Though I fear that this is a little arbitrary, I am not disposed to fly rabidly at every scientific opinion."  |

im not to sure about that vassel wiggly,iv read about it but if you look for more info its the same story,i know that WIKI thinks its fake.have you ever heard or this story There is one area of ancient mining activity that geologists and anthropologists have paid close attention to, and it was discovered in the rock strata of the Pioch Farrus mine in France. From 1786 to 1788, the quarry provided massive quantities of limestone to rebuild a local judiciary building. Usually, the miners found a layer of silt present between the layers of rock. When the miners dug to the eleventh layer of rock, approaching a depth of 12 to 15 meters under the ground, another layer of silt appeared. But when miners were cleaning out this silt, they were surprised to find the remnant piles of stone columns and fragments that signified that the rock was cut and mined. Digging deeper, they were stunned to discover coins, the wooden handle of an iron hammer that had fossilized, and other petrified wooden tools. Finally, they discovered a plank that had petrified and cracked into fragments. After the fragments were put back together, it turned out to be precisely the type of plank used by miners, and moreover, it was exactly the same type of plank being used today. There are many similar discoveries being made in prehistoric mines, and many other mysterious relics unearthed. They have not only aroused people's curiosity but also presented a significant message to archaeologists — it's high time to push the origin of human civilization to a much earlier time. this story came from the same place as the vessel story www.pureinsight.org/node/1899 |
