Title: Pyramids in the Antarctica?!?
Post by: tnjrp on 13 September 2012, 08:25:51 AM

OK this is not quite news any more but all the same...

Yonaguni monument is so yesteryear. Bosnian pyramids are passé. The alt-archeological crowd has been in need of a new titillation -- and lo and behold, it's here:

I didn't see any reports of plaintative cries of "tekeli-li!" being heard in the vicinity so I remain strongly skeptical o_o

I believe that the theory of Goal'ulds soon invading earth was the most plausible theory so far :)

It may be so bad a hoax that not even the woo-woo crowd (aside of a few truly deranged ones) have caught on :?

I like the idea it's a prelude to a 'Mountains of Madness' film.

Everybody knows that pyramids in Antarctica hold a deep frozen Alien Queen ready to lay eggs in preparation of The Hunt...

Too bad the website is just a site making fake news, but it is possible that there is real stuff buried in the ice.

Who knows?

Well, many things indeed are possible but that doesn't mean they are factual 8)

Up we go.

"Argentine experts have discovered fossils of a two-metre tall penguin that lived in Antarctica 34 million years ago." (http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/world/argentine-experts-find-huge-penguin-fossil/story-e6frfkui-1226521642718)

It's hardly a surprise, given that the Mayan apocalypse is right around the corner... Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li! o_o

Great find, Dolmot. “The Fury of Giant Penguins” is now on my list of Doc-Thompson-scenarios-one-day-to-play.

Some 'interesting' theories on the comments section of that website. I'm sure they are all perfectly reasonable people just having a little chuckle. No loons at all. Nope.

Loads of scenario ideas though.

A fine example of the axiom it is too! I've no idea which ones are serious.
