Artifact Looks Like A Spark Plug!
Take a look at the x-ray image below of an artifact resembling a spark plug found in Caifornia, which is half a million years old!
X-ray of the artifact
Image courtesy: godlikeproductions
While mineral hunting in the mountains of California near Olancha, Wallace Lane, Virginia Maxey and Mike Mikesell found a rock, among many others,
that they thought was a geode - a good addition for their gem shop.
Upon cutting it open, however, Mikesell found an object inside that seemed to be made of white porcelain. In the center was a shaft of shiny metal.
Experts estimated that it should have taken about 500,000 years for this fossil-encrusted nodule to form, yet the object inside was obviously of
sophisticated human manufacture.
Astonishingly, an X-ray revealed a tiny spring at one end which was surround by a hexagonal casing. Some who have examined the evidence say it
looks very much like a modern-day spark plug.
The moot question is, How did it get inside a 500,000-year-old rock?
So is it possible that an advanced civilization once inhabited Earth half a million years ago? How and where did it disappear? What happens to the
theory of evolution? Or is it a part of some extraterrestrial craft that visited Earth half a million years ago?

en.wikipedia.org...
The Coso Artifact is a spark plug found encased in a lump of hard clay or rock on February 13, 1961 by Wallace Lane, Virginia Maxey, and Mike
Mikesell while they were fossicking for geodes near the town of Olancha, California. Following its collection, Mikesell destroyed a diamond edged
blade cutting through the rock containing the artifact and discovered the item.
Originally it was believed that the artifact must be very old, perhaps 500,000 years old, as claimed by Virginia Maxey, one of the people who
discovered it. However, details of either dating technique or evidence on which this estimate were made was neither revealed nor published. Rather,
this date was based solely on the opinion of an anonymous "geologist" as repeated second hand by one of the people, who discovered this artifact.
Neither the identity, credentials, nor expertise of this "geologist", from which this opinion came is known. It is not even known if he or she was a
real geologist or not. Now it is largely accepted that the material surrounding the sparkplug may have accreted in a matter of years or decades.

'Largely accepted' - by who?
'May have accreted in a matter of days or decades' - says who? (Note the word 'may'). Not sure?
As per wikipedia...
The current location of the Coso artifact is unknown to the general public despite an intensive effort made to locate both it and the people who
found it.
So where has it been hidden? Is it a conspiracy to hide the truth???
Brian Wood, described as "International Director of MICAP (Multinational Investigations Cooperative on Aerial Phenomena) and Producer/Director of
The Paranet Continuum Radio Program" suggested that if it isn't simply a spark plug, "My guess would be some sort of antenna. The construction
reminds me of modern attempts at superconductors. Wonder if anyone's tried replicating the thing using ceramic superconductors and then cooling the
thing off with liquid nitrogen to see what happens."

Oh boy! Marduk. you aint pulled the spark plug out yet!!

so what youre saying Mike is that
an object that looks like a 1920s spark plug
x rays like a 1920s spark plug
isn't a 1920s spark plug because:-
1) nobody knows where it is
2) no geologist has ever seen it
3) the people who found it have vanished
4) it has never been dated by anyone qualified
5) the only websites that claim its special are those written by ufonuts
you really haven't got the hang of this scientific approach yet to proving outrageous claims have you buddy
theres this thing
its called evidence
you just have hearsay from nutters
thats not even admissable in a court room
even if it wasn't nutters saying it

So do you think that 500,000 years ago people were driving around in Model T Fords?
The Coso Artifact was indeed a remarkable device. It was a 1920s-era Champion spark plug that likely powered a Ford Model T or Model A engine,
modified to possibly serve mining operations in the Coso mountain range of California.

Edit: Marduk, it was made in the 1920s, not 1950s

Obviously you can believe what you want, but this has been throughly debunked. When I first read about the Coso artifact, I researched it and right
away I found the following page:
www.talkorigins.org...
It's very thorough and certainly convinced me that this is, in fact, a 1920s era spark plug...from the REAL 1920, not from some ancient car.
DOH! Somebody else beat me to the link. Oh well

Good! So that's been debunked!  Now here's more...
Fossils, appear in rocks that were formed many thousands of years ago. Yet there are a number of fossils that just don't make geological or
historical sense.
A fossil of a human handprint, for example, was found in limestone estimated to be 110 million years old. What appears to be a fossilized human finger
found in the Canadian Arctic also dates back 100 to 110 million years ago. And what appears to be the fossil of a human footprint, possibly wearing a
sandal, was found near Delta, Utah in a shale deposit estimated to be 300 million to 600 million years old.
And more!!
Humans were not even around 65 million years ago, never mind people who could work metal. So then how does science explain semi-ovoid metallic tubes
dug out of 65-million-year-old Cretaceous chalk in France? In 1885, a block of coal was broken open to find a metal cube obviously worked by
intelligent hands. In 1912, employees at an electric plant broke apart a large chunk of coal out of which fell an iron pot! A nail was found embedded
in a sandstone block from the Mesozoic Era. And there are many, many more such anomalies.
Any explanations?
Cheers!!

noted
now I could say here "what are you talking about i said 1920s"
but of course I won't
personally I think Mike is now so far down the credibility ladder with this one that he's clutching at straws
which is why I have added him as a friend
whats the betting that he comes up the megabeast skull with the bullet hole
hes already posted numbers 7.9.10 from that list that frequents the nut sites
you think he hasn't heard of ooparts ?
we know he hasn't heard of empirical evidence so anythings possible

Oops!! Where was the metallic tube and the hand in stone discussed? Didn't seem to find it! Lead kindly light and point me to the thread. 
That's if you have the time!
Cheers!

Wow!! This I gotta see! Where is it? Where is it?
And Marduk, you still haven't answered the question of the hand in rock and metal tube artifact! (posted above).
OK! I'll add you as a friend too under the express condition you chop yur locks. Do you still use Fructis gel? Hmmm! remember, bald is beautiful!!
Lol!

Ah Essan thanx! Interesting stuff. But of course, there's some explanation for not only the skull but also this Egyptian artifact found in the link
you provided?
Needless to say, my friend Marduk (Darn! It's been ages since I've known him, especially by his hair!!  ) must know the answers to all these
puzzles? Ooparts is a load of crap, right? So why doesn't he open a web site to trash err, debunk err explain all these strange objects of
pre-history? That'll help us illiterates like me to get a little more educated!
Marduk, you there, dude? Thanks for hearing me out!!
Cheers!

Ah! The Denderah 'Lightbulbs'
www.ancientegyptonline.co.uk...
There are plenty of sites that list these 'anomalies' - but you're right Mike, we could really do with a site that offers all the more mundane
explanations as well ....

That isn't a bullet whole. A bullet would have shattered that are of the skull. That is a fake

Ah Mike, as many have said, we've discussed these before.
The problem with the site you're linking to is that it's one of literally hundreds on the net, all of which did no research but copied text from
another site. Since the other site said it was a Gen-U-Wine Mysterie(tm) then the site you're reading accepts it at face value.
From the "fossil human handprint" (one of Baugh's very questionable finds, and apparently a carved handprint paleo.cc... ) to
the "finger" (which has been xrayed and found to be an ancient seashell), the collection contains material that is astonishing only if you don't
bother to research it. The "plane" is a "plane" only if you don't go to the Museo del Oro and look at the other gold artifacts (and that one as
well)... it's pretty obvious they're stylized insects and birds because there's literally hundreds of examples of them (and they're clearly birds
and insects.)
There's interesting, odd, and unusual archaeological and paleontological material out there and interesting REAL unusual finds on ancient
civilizations. But those hoary old hoaxes aren't any of them.
For example, a good list of "top ten Biblical archaeology discoveries" is here (and there's interesting unknowns and mysteries about them) :
biblicalstudies.info...
Or the 2001 find of an underground palace in China:
www.china.org.cn...
And lost Peruvian cities:
www.iol.co.za...
and lost Mayan cities:
www.ananova.com...
Even discoveries of the first people to encounter Columbus:
www.iuinfo.indiana.edu...

It's called concretion. You see, when metals like copper or iron corrode, they expand somewhat - thus a heavily rusted iron nail can almost grow to
the size of a pennyspike, and can wind up "absorbing" any bits of wood, stone, or metal nearby into it's mass as the rust grows around them.
Lime sediments, as well as other minerals like gypsum or aluminum silicates (clay, in other words) can also wind up forming a big nodule very quickly,
through the exact same process as your common every day commercial bag of cement. Add water, allow to harden. Voila, instant rock blob that would take
"half a million years to form"

Thanks Byrd! I ain't no archaeologist! So it gets pretty interesting when one reads about the oddities of the ancient past. Like the mysteries of
Easter Island, Stonehenge and hey, even the pyramids!! But you'll agree, we don't have all the answers to all these enigmas!
Is there a site that explains all this scientifically? Agreed most of them may be biased toward sensationalizing these finds. So there must be
somewhere a site that provides logical and scientific explanations for all these oddities?
By I was especially interested in this Egyptian artifact...
Cheers!

Mike save us all a lot of time and just do a search on egyptian or dendera lightbulb
its been done to death
its actually a cosmological scene
theres hieroglyphs underneath it telling you what it is
obviously they have been cut from the illustration you posted because whoever did it wanted to wow you with ancient technology
