Default 150,000-Year-Old Pipes Baffle Scientists in China

Aliens?



Oopart (out of place artifact) is a term applied to dozens of prehistoric objects found in various places around the world that seem to show a level of technological advancement incongruous with the times in which they were made. Ooparts often frustrate conventional scientists, delight adventurous investigators open to alternative theories, and spark debate.

In a mysterious pyramid in China’s Qinghai Province near Mount Baigong are three caves filled with pipes leading to a nearby salt-water lake. There are also pipes under the lake bed and on the shore. The iron pipes range in size, with some smaller than a toothpick. The strangest part is that they may be about 150,000 years old.

Dating done by the Beijing Institute of Geology determined these iron pipes were smelted about 150,000 years ago, if they were indeed made by humans, according to Brian Dunning of Skeptoid.com.

And if they were made by humans, history as it is commonly viewed would have to be re-evaluated.

The dating was done using thermoluminescence, a technique that determines how long ago crystalline mineral was exposed to sunlight or heated. Humans are only thought to have inhabited the region for the past 30,000 years. Even within the known history of the area, the only humans to inhabit the region were nomads whose lifestyle would not leave any such structures behind.

Brilliant article Niamh - very thought provoking.

I love the predictable way in which the 'Establishment' scientific 'experts' dismiss this as 'Natural phenomena' - laughable.

you may not believe this but why where american and british troops in iraq, dig up ancient sumerian and mesopotamian sites, those soldiers where told that they are looking for technology, they did not believe at first, but they said that they saw very strange things happening on those sites, even men wearing protective suits,

Kizzy - I firmly believe that aliens HAVE visited Earth in antiquity and I could post hundreds of links to articles and write dozens of long posts from my own research files which offer very convincing evidence for that belief, but this does not negate the fact that Stitchin and his Anunnaki theories have been extensively debunked with incontrovertible evidence - not least of which is that his translation of the Sumerian text which his theory rests on, is wrong and wildly imaginative. Every ancient language scholar has concluded as much and it is notable that Stitchin was NOT qualified in ancient languages.

His links with the Anunnaki and the Nephilim is equally fanciful and does not bear scrutiny.

However, you are free to believe what you want, though I find it laughable that people find it all so easy to continue to believe this and other totally fallacious theories without ANY evidence but yet declare that Christianity is a myth when the evidence for Christ is both preponderant and persuasive.

I will believe what I want thankyou, I find your views as laughable as you appear to find mine.
How are we to know that this discovery won't offer the proof?

...it's funny because I was recently looking at some Egyptian artefacts in a gallery and thought hmmmm, what's gained really from these exhibits...is it right really to essentially rob graves/dig up bodies...and then with something like this, you're reminded of just how much there is still to learn and to gain from...


some of the pipes were found to be highly radioactive

..also, with ancient stuff like this and the thought that aliens could have been responsible..it's all quite fascinating/thought provoking and amazing and exciting etc..but if we were to find live aliens now...?...would we kill them out of fear/not us but Governments etc or cut them open to see how they tick...that wouldn't feel quite so amazing...
