I'm no expertJun 19th, 2009 - 15:17:02

No claims to any expertise here but it amazes me how many archaeologists seem to assume that any bodies in the ground were placed there by burial. If mammoths are found buried upright in sediment across Russia (with dust in their mouths and nostrils), why not consider the possibility that humans could just as easily have been caught in sudden dust storms and perished as they sheltered (curled up and protecting their children)? There are other examples of this 'curled up' position where children are entwined with adults, all in the same plane at the same depth, buried under sediment that had to have got there somehow, and surrounded by artifacts of daily living. Just a thought.

I'd just finished talking with 102 years old woman in Arizona. She mentioned the wind blew for four days and covered up most people; the pyramid shape shelter survived the wind; she talk of the red, blue, yellow, dark, white worlds of the past - this reminds me of 'loess wind from ice - age that pigment in china - a layer of red and yellow loess (?); i have interest in these old legends ..., thank you,
