12,900 years ago there were people on the Iberian peninsula the Saludrians I believe, and throughout Europe at that time....they must have built a frickin' alter after this....wow...
@JstNEarthling Yeah, there were people around at that time. As far as I know, though, no human remains have been found in the ash layers in the immediate vicinity so far, and relatively few animal remains. It is possible that this explosion has kind of "announced itself" through minor eruptions and a lot of them have fled the area before the big one occured.
@KaroKoenich (cont.) In the occasional creatard presentation, you see photos from just this corner of germany of what creatards call "polystrate trees". I.e. trees buried as they stood, upright. I've personally been at these outcrops, and they're absolutely awesome.
Usually, the creatard showing the photos will tell you that there's no explanation for that, except a catastrophic one. Well, quite! Because it's not normal sediment but volcanic ash. Morons...
@KaroKoenich Here in the States, in Arizona there's a place called the "petrified forest", one can just imagine what it consists of. There are almost whole tree trunks standing straight up, petrified into stone......very cool.
@KaroKoenich Oh, yes, I'm certain of it. After all they were the same people as we are, the same intellect, the same imagination...if they saw the signs they'd scad-addle in a second....... I have a feeling my knowledge base is going to go up a bit knowing you and discussing geology among other things I'm sure.
I haven't seen basalt columns so thick before. The landscape is reminiscent of the volcanic areas (now all extinct) in south eastern Australia -- especially in the west of the state of Victoria. I love all things volcanic, and this was a super video!
@AngryWomble Thanks :-). Of course I don't want Ham & Co to die in the incident. That would be mean. But thanks to the science those guys so happily deny, we will most likely have warning of an eruption, and the area can be evacuated.
Still, I really wonder what Pat Robertson would have to say to SUCH an event.
under Kentucky's creation museum.......hahahahahahahaha

We're damn glad the lava flow got isolated by a layer of volcanic debris. Without slow cooling, we wouldn't have such a fine climbing area today ;-).

I like the location you chose for your proposed caldera in the states, very fitting.

There'd probably lost of stupid noise and it would be claimed it was satans work.

Very nice and very educational. But it made me miss Europe.

@TheLivingDinosaur Glad you liked it. And don't forget to drop me a note if you plan to visit the old continent :-).
