Explanation: The remnants of nuclear reactors nearly two billion years old were found in the 1970s in Africa. These reactors are thought to have occurred naturally. No natural reactors exist today, as the relative density of fissile uranium has now decayed below that needed for a sustainable reaction. Pictured above is Fossil Reactor 15, located in Oklo, Gabon. Uranium oxide remains are visible as the yellowish rock. Oklo by-products are being used today to probe the stability of the fundamental constants over cosmological time-scales and to develop more effective means for disposing of human-manufactured nuclear waste.

Lysergic, cool find with the natural reactor page Thanks!

I have read about them, but not seen any photos like that.

Xaos, I understand where you are going about the natural reactors going supercritical, however it has never been found to be the case, and honestly I dont think that it is possible in nature. Although there may well be enough naturally occurring radioactives to start up a limited chain reaction, it would very likely NOT be enough in terms of amount or in terms of purity to carry on a sustained and uncontrolled chain reaction (the possible exception to this in nature may be in the inner mantle and core, where some rules tend to bend, but nto in the crust). Also, there would be too much intervening material acting as a moderator to allow a runaway chain reaction.

As far as evidence for far past nuclear events, I am drawn to stories of the Vitrified Forts of the Scottish Highlands.

The rock these "forts" are made out of is granite, but most all of them have been melted into a vitrious glass for 360 degrees around thier entire circumfrence. I dont know how many of these forts there are, but I understand there to be dozens.

(Gryffen, any local info on these???)

I did read a report about these where an experiment was conducted. Representative granite from the area was surround by a complete bonfire built around it, with the idea to find out how hard it would be to melt the rock. The calculations from this experiment showed that in order to create just a handful of these "forts" (and there were dozens of them) it would require the consumption of every tree in Scotland.

Please post your thoughts on this.

One should perhaps first determin the nature of these stories, whether they speek of something long gone or something future. They are spiritual scriptures, they could just aswell be prophetic... Anyhow the weapon they speek about has to be an atomic bomb.

C'mon -- you're a geologist -- and you didn't twig to them identifying supernovae as "mysterious deep space explosions"???? I thought that was the funniest part of the site!

It was great for a laugh, but we've already debunked most of that stuff -- much of it is old science (like the asteroid belt things) that was outdated after the 1970's. And I'm surprised you didn't howl with laughter at the forced conclusion on the antigravity hills. With your geological background, that should have been a no-brainer debunking for you and you could have supplied a list of a number of other similar sites as part of your debunking.

Anyway, it was a hoot to read! Someone needs to update their science books, though, and get their nose out of the Velikovsky stuff.
