am submitting this because some have accused me of lying about my Grandfather’s statement about the mine, and all have misquoted my name. My name was never W.W. I have my Grandfather’s signed statement about the mine, and I can prove the signature for any of the slanderers who have the guts to stand up. I was at Abilene Christian College (now University) in 1968-1969 when I shared the statement with a professor there. I thought he ignored it. Only recently did I become aware that it had gotten any attention, and then I learned that some were calling it a fabrication. I’m here to take you slanderers on. I live in Lindale, TX. My real name is W.A. McCormick. If any of you had looked for Atlas Almon Mathis in any genealogical records, he was there!!!!!! I was there with him!!!!!

i mean i could make a pot out of 100 year old clay but the pot itself would only be 1 minute old, yet it would get dated as 100 years old if u catch my drift??
You would be correct in your calculation The phenomena we are searching for is how it came to be entombed in a coal rift. What we cannot determine is is it were built underground, or if it was layered over by epochs of time by wind and water. Just as ruins discovered hundreds of feet deep in offshore locations. Were they built underwater, or did the rising sea levels inundate them?

ah well that will teach me not to read the entire thing lol..!!
i think its more plausible that landslides, tsnuimas or maybe an earthquake even could have possibly buried this wall.
but whos to say its very intriguing

It's worth noting that if I go into a mine, to a seamhead where the coal being extracted is ~286 million years old, and drop my digital watch .....
..... and a month later someone finds it under a pile of coal dust, right where the latest coal has been dug from ......
It does not mean the digital watch is 286 million years old

Great thread , I will have to go over it later since I have to run an errand but just a quick note before I get out .

Who said it had to be humans that made those ? I mean 280 mln years old means this could have been build by a highly evolved race of sentient worms, or butterflies for all we know Just throwing it out since I am almost sure (I read only a few posts) , the old debate about human age will develop here
