11:21 Man, so there's a lot of stuff we want to try to fit in. But I had mentioned wanting to hear about the best stuff you found from articles about caves and the underground and there's no shortage of that stuff any person who even just gives a cursory glance to your Twitter feed will see all kinds of things but what would you consider? A couple of your favorites how would you get us started here Yeah So I picked a few based off of that mentioning their end Yeah, would you like me to read the articles or I can just give a synopsis? Whatever you think would be pertinent to the time we have. I'd say just go ahead and read them as they're written of course You can paraphrase when appropriate but that way people who are listening get a sense of exactly how these stories are presented in old newspapers
12:11 Okay yeah so I'm just going to start in with, I picked a cave and it kind of covers the gamut a little bit. And then yeah so i'll just jump right in this is called... The headline is Mastodons in Nebraska This is from a paper from Georgia 1894 and I'm just gonna start reading from here A cave containing prehistoric remains discovered near Kedron Bones of animals 10 times as big as Jumbo and of birds that would make the American Eagle appear like a swallow in comparison, found in a cave a few miles out of Chadron. Evidently the tomb of prehistoric animals who sought therein refuge from the flood." –Chadron, Nebraska, August 13th Much excitement has been created by the discovery of a great cave about 10 miles from the city of what is called The Badlands. This cave contains prehistoric remains of petrifactions—the most valuable ever found
13:05 which go to establish the fact that giant men and animals lived upon this continent before the all-delusion flood engulfed it and swept them out of existence. The discoverer of the cave is Professor W. Don Fritzenholtz, who was traveling through the United States in the interest of a European Institute of Zoology when seen by your correspondent was about giving any information relative to his wonderful discovery. It was learned that he consulted some of the legal fraternity of the city in regard to the proper procedure To acquire title so that's pretty interesting there, you know? He's talking about a fraternity giving him
13:50 the ability to explore the land. But yeah, I am going to just kind of skip ahead a little bit just because it's a long article just to get into some of what we're after but... Sure! So basically this guy he goes on say he refuses say why he wanted to become the owner of this cavern It was learned from other sources that it contained many zoological specimens thereof unknown to the zoological world as well as a skeleton and petrification of prehistoric man which are considered very valuable and they are first-of their kind ever found Every known specimen of extinct animals are to be found in the cave and several that were never heard of before. The skeleton of one of these awe-inspiring to look upon, whatever period in the world's history this monster roamed the earth it is safe to say that mankind did not and that most of the animals that now exist were unknown at that time."
14:41 The skeleton of the monster would indicate that it resembled very closely the elephant, only it must have been 10 times as large. To give an idea of its size, it is only necessary to give the dimensions of some of the bones. One of the ribs measured 24 feet 9 inches in length and the others are in proportion to this. Another skeleton resembles that of a horse and from its size it would seem impossible that it could live if constituted and at present horses are, and it is evident that it would be of no use to the man at present. It would be necessary to use a ladder to harness or get on its back, and if there was a tariff on lumber it would be utterly out of the question to provide stabling for it. There are also many specimens of birds to be found in this cave but they are five or six times larger than ostriches
15:34 The bones of the wing, just one wing would indicate their width including the feathers to be 23 feet so about 50 foot wingspan. There are also a number of extinct species of reptiles and fishes which are so large that is impossible to conceive how they would be able to move about. The most interesting discovery is that of the skeleton of a man And as it is said, finding these skeletons with the bones of animals that undoubtedly have become extinct for thousands of years leads many to believe that they must be skeletons a prehistoric man. These skeletons resemble those of the present man very much and none but an expert eye could detect the difference."
16:20 One is that before the country was inundated by the ocean, all these animals congregated in the cave to protect themselves from water and were drowned. The cave being in close proximity to a natural wall it is supposed by many that they belonged to the race that inhabited this land at the time when these walls were built So built walls, constructed walls. From the structure of the walls it is supposed that they were made to enclose large tracts of land and that they were used by the inhabitants at that time as a place of refuge from the enemy in the time of danger this wall no doubt formerly surrounded an ancient city that has become engulfed through volcanic eruption or was inundated
17:11 Some things go to show that it was engulfed by an ocean, as there are to be found in the vicinity of the walls huge turtles which measure nine feet and eight inches across. Tending a show that this country must have been deluged at or after the time these ocean these once beautiful ruins were destroyed here was where was found a short time ago embedded among the remains of these extinct animals and reptiles a beautiful and perfect petrified man that was exhibited in the east, and which scientific men were unable to say as to what period in the world's history the man existed. There are also to be found huge petrified logs piled up in great masses some of them at least 35 feet in circumference and as solid as a rock this would indicate that the destruction was wrought by water
18:06 It was learned today from Chief Yellow Wolf of the Sayu tribe that these discovery had been made and known to them long ago, and that when they would die they would go to happy hunting grounds. That they believe this will be the land to which their spirits will return, and the game will be provided for in abundance similar to the species found in the wonderful cave." but that they were afraid to tell the wights as they feared that they would destroy the cave and then their ancestors would never have the pleasure of examining the skeletons of the kinds of game provided for them by The Great Father when he called them to his happy hunting ground. Hmm, damn man there's so much there that is really interesting and obviously the overarching theme seems to be that this story supports
