I think it was all one flood that subsided you know, incrementally as the water drained off. Right. Okay.
I think it was a lake that filled up rapidly and then drained off somewhat slower. And you can, and once you understand this, the, the, the basin here, Missoula basin, in order for this water to drain out, it had to go through this torturous route of, of valleys with constrictions, basins, 180-degree hairpin turns.
And what that meant was that the rise and the fall in water level is not going to be smooth. It's going to be a stepped process, right? And I think that's what you're seeing right here. But this is what Pardee saw back when he wrote his 1910 paper thought the strand lines. And then looking at the floor of the valleys had layered deposits, like you would expect to have occurred in a lake. Um, okay.
Next slide. All right, so this is the same thing, you see. And so this is the kind of evidence that when we are... You know, what I tell people is, well, we're like detectives, and we're going to try to solve this, because this might be part of the murder mystery. What happened to the great megafauna? Because for one thing, I can tell you this.
85 to 90% of all of the megafauna remains that have been found, the fossils excavated, they're all in flood deposits. Virtually all of them. Okay. Primarily gravel pits over and over again. And gravel, gravel pits, peat bogs are the primary two places that you find the skeletal remains. Now, when you get up near the Arctic circle, you find them embedded in permafrost. Mm-hmm .
Yet the permafrost itself looks to be gigantic flood deposits that subsequently froze.
Yes.
Yeah. dozens and dozens. I mean, I've collected, I've got three ring binders. I don't know how many, you know, with probably three to 400 papers in there discussing. And then I've got PDF files that I've studied online the last 10 years, probably another three or 400. So yeah, going through these, you know, what are the circumstances in which these remains are found?
And over and over and over again, they're found in flood deposits.
I know. It isn't known. Again, it's a matter of putting the pieces together.
Well, see, there have been people that have been doing it, but when I look back at people that were doing some of this, like Brett's, You know, he was working from the 20s to the 1950s. You know, same with Pardee. You know, these guys didn't have the tools that we now have. You know, when Bretz was mapping, we just saw those maps of the Channel Scablands, right?
I can show you papers that he would have written like in 1928, and you'd look at his maps that he drew by going over in cars, and the roads were hardly any roads, cars, horseback, on foot. It took them 20, 25 years to draw maps that now we see in the satellite images are almost perfectly duplicated, right?
But, you know, I guess the thing is, is that, you know, I started into this research in the 1970s. So I've been doing it for, you know, going 40 years. Really? Well, let's see if I started clearly, I was undertaking these studies by 1975, 1976. So that's 50 years ago and I've been doing it obsessively. So.
I'm not surprised that there aren't too many people because who else is going to be looking at this? Geologists? Well, geologists, what are they mainly doing? They work for government and they work for industry. They're looking for hydrocarbon deposits. They're looking for minerals. They're looking for, you know, they're not looking even at the land itself.
What they refer to, like if you have a big gravel deposit that I now know, yeah, this is a backwash flood from a huge flow, right? They call that overburden. They're not interested in that. They're looking at getting under the overburden to see where's the coal? Where are the natural gas deposits? Where are the precious minerals? Where are the hydrocarbons? All of that stuff.
That's what they're looking for, right? They're not looking for that. When I first started these and going on field trips guided by geologists, these geologists were for the most part doing it in their spare time. Nobody was funding them. Nobody's subsidizing them. Like when I went out, you know, going back to the eighties and the nineties and things. Yeah.
They're all doing it out of their own pockets in their spare time, but You know, I, I, I'm, I'm surprised that not more of them are putting the big picture together. Um, and you know, correlating well, what is the connection between these climate changes that we're seeing with the mega funnel extinctions, with the floods, with the legends, with the oral tradition, right?
No, you said remnants of the boats. Do we know what, were they wood? Wood, yeah.
Advanced boats 40,000 years ago.
Where are they putting ocean level at 40,000?
