Legend of badimo: a myth unraveled (Part 2)

Last week, I deemed it necessary to begin this miniseries with a short but necessary background overview. Therein, I noted that there is a plethora of evidence – nay: proof – routinely found embedded in fossilised rock, coal or volcanic ash 300 to 400 million years old, that reveals machined objects of such utter sophistication they ought to belong to our modern age.

Indeed, the latest finding I am aware of is an intricate gear-train – that is, a device on which gears travel – made of pure aluminium, found embedded and fossilised in a piece of coal 310 million years old. But, up to the early 1800s, no-one could ostensibly smelt bauxite (aluminium ore): it was only made possible by electrolysis; i.e. only after the discovery of electricity.

The gear-train was discovered by a Vladivostok, Russia resident in 2013. He took it for scientific examination…but, in typical fashion, no convention was held to discuss what ought to be yet another game-changing discovery. Ask any professor of archaeology or history.

Congratulations Anicia Gaothuse!

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
