Mass grave of new human relative discovered in South Africa, claim scientists

It's impossible to overstate how amazing a find this is. So many hominid species are referenced by a few fragments and here we have a millions of years old mass grave with individuals of a range of ages and both sexes. It's beyond incredible.

Thanks for posting this!

The paper published at eLIFE can be found here. There's also a National Geographic article here.

Very cool...thanks for the links (pun intended).....

Anyone ever read Sitchen's book Planet X and the translation he made of the cuneiform writings of the epoch of Gilgamesh?

Talks of a pre-flood story of gods (sons of god) coming down to earth and Anuki(SP?) making the black headed people. The Bible tells us that there were sons of gods and they were wifing (having babies) with the women of that time and producing all sorts of offspring.

According to Sitchen, the Anuki said the black headed people were created to serve in the gold minds of which were deep in the ground. One thing they report is not telling us is how much gold in down there and that the mass grave is a result of a flood that collapsed the mine entrance.

One must ask what were these families doing that deep in the ground in the first place. Unless they were the creation of the Anuki.

Well, if mining were the case then surely there would be evidence of tools, and would have to be fairly advanced tools to mine. I haven't read about any tools being found there yet.

It is not just a mass grave, not that deep. They have kept a lot of this secret and why? GOLD!

They will reveal tools with them just wait. If they were advanced don't expect them to reveal them.. But stone tools and the like they will show.

It is odd how many were found in there as they said from the article....

I am saying it is not a grave but a collapsed mine and the bodies are of the workers from before the flood of Noah.

The comment about this having to be a ritulistic burial due to not having any aminal bones also makes me wonder. What will people think of all of the mass graves of people buried in more recent times be seen as?

Kurdish mass graves from the Saddam regime, Bosnia mass graves and Pol Pot and all. I'm not so convinced that this has to be an intentional ritual burial.....just as it doesn't have to be human either.

Clothes, tools, and other artifacts may change my view a bit, if they exist.....we shall see in time.

That was fiction

What would they have been mining? This was millions of years before smelting.

He answered that in the post prior to....Gold....and yes, for Aliens.

Only way that could be shown is if there are huge quarts veins that happen to run down the insides of the cavern that were exposed from following them during the mining process......and no....I do not think it was a mine.

so you're taking the "Alien" part as valid ?

I'd advise holding the astonishment until some form of date can be provided.
