        Finding red blood cells in 70 million year old bones. Still find that incomprehensible. Not sure King George didn't kill a dinosaur.

          For anyone else absolutely baffled by this statement: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/jun/09/75-million-year-old-dinosaur-blood-and-collagen-discovered-in-fossil-fragments https://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/jun/09/75-million-y... Red blood cells, and collagen from dinosaur bones. With the idea that even current museum hosted bones might have more??? Today is a wild day for me.

            It gets wilder, all of the finds mentioned so far are stuff I have heard of, then there are the intentional burials from millions of years agoby a tiny hominum in SA, deap in a cave complex that requires extream cave crawling to get into, and also from SA, there is strong evidence for the manufacture of red pigment @400kyr ago. And if you like, you can wander around certain sea sides and pick, little tiny dino trackways that have fallen out of the cliff, :)

              > then there are the intentional burials from millions of years agoby a tiny hominum in SA, deap in a cave complex that requires extream cave crawling to get into This is very heavily disputed and very much not consensus opinion.

    Ironically even archive.is just has the 503 page cached.
    • eigenspace 10mo ago
      Yeah, that was me. I threw the link into archive.is to check if it had a snapshot, but it just created a shanpshot of the 503 before I could figure out how to cancel it.

        Top box: my url is alive and I want to archive it's contents Bottom box: I want to search the archive for saved snapshots I have defaulted to using the bottom box first, since it's usually much faster

    I actually saw the website, pictures of the tools and text and everything before it gave me the database error message. It would have been totally fine.
