Ice cores? Tropical? No, I don't think so. You won't find any evidence of a tropical past in the ice cores.

Now, was Antarctica once tropical. Yep. It's in the rocks. (They're below the ice.)
Okay, thanks.

I almost totally agree with you.

The only thing I disagree with is your word choice in your last sentence.


Sorry - I left out the "Abracadabra!".

(I'm not having a good morning).

Meaning you don't know the difference between "antiscience" and "no science"?
Enough of this rubbish.
Genesis is in the no science category yet you use Genesis to try to explain why Antarctica was tropical in the past.
It's possible that it had something to do with this:

Genesis 2:6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
Genesis 2:6 is describing nothing more than a hydrological cycle which the ancients had known through observation but did not understand the mechanism or the science.
It was the ancient Greeks who first postulated the hydrological cycle based on evaporation and condensation.
Your post encapsulates how you convert the no science of Genesis into your anti-science rants.
In this case it is anti-science because Genesis does not provide a mechanism or evidence to support your assertion.
Your anti-science rants needless to say go far deeper than this.

By the fact that these are mountains sculpted by glaciers, not mountains constructed of blocks by pyramid-building people.
How can you say that for sure, when no one knows for sure?

from your link --

An Antarctic mountain with a unique, pyramid-like shape is suddenly internet-famous, ...
“This is just a mountain that looks like a pyramid,” Eric Rignot, a professor of Earth system science at the University of California, Irvine, told Live Science in an email. “Pyramid shapes are not impossible — many peaks partially look like pyramids, but they only have one to two faces like that, rarely four.” [Photos: The World’s Weirdest Geological Formations]

many mountains sculpted by glaciers no doubt.

How many of them are in a square - 2KM on each side of the base??? The article says that is not what they would expect.

And? Is it unusual and unique? Absolutely. But until someone can actually present evidence that it's a "man-made", non-natural structure the most likely explanation is NOT aliens or even people. It's natural processes. I mean it's not like it's made of hexagonal columns forming steps for giants or something.

It's not perfectly square though. You can see in the in the still from the video title card AV posted that it's not. One side is more narrow than the others and the angles don't line up like the pyramids in Egypt. I mean I guess the "architects" may have been bad at math and measurement, but they sucked at what they built if that's the case. Not sure we should be praising these primatives.

Interesting that people will pshaw a Flood but have no problem with miles deep ice reshaping a planet .
We have direct evidence of ice reshaping the surface... and don't have evidence for a world wide flood.

The climate and environment of what would become Australia and Antarctica is nothing like any environment of the modern world.

The average annual temperature was around 1 degree centigrade. But it was lush and warm in the summer and icy and cold in the winter.

The bigger dinosaurs we've found from there had growth marks consistent with hibernation and the smaller ones have proportionally large eye sockets probably appropriate to the endless night of the winter.

The huge amphibians might have frozen themselves like some modern crocodiles, or gone into torpor in burrows like some frogs.

That white region between the continents seems to have been an incredibly vast valley with a braided networks of river systems.

I find it ironical these naturally formed pyramids must be man made due to their shape when the Egyptian pharaohs abandoned pyramids as tombs which were easily looted for rock cut tombs in the Valley of the Kings which is dominated by a pyramid shaped peak the ancient Egyptians referred to as "ta dehent" or "The Peak".
This naturally occurring peak allowed the pharaohs to retain the tradition for a pyramid type burial.

When you compare the man made pyramids at Giza with "ta dehent" in terms of symmetry and structure there is no comparison.

At the time of reshaping the ice wasn't miles deep. Over millions of years the ice thickness has varied along with the local climate. Causes of shaping vary but glacier movement, scraping and eroding the rocks, is a common cause.

Floods and glaciers leave evidence. There is no evidence of a global flood.

Any idea why?


The absence of the expected evidence for such a large scale event is a strong indication it may not have happened.
