Artisans had apparently heated fine-grained alluvial silt to melting temperatures,then slowly cooled it to produce rock-hard slab resembling a type of volcanic rock.
Such early production of synthetic stone was previously unknown to historians,but its discovery suggests the existance of creative collaboration between metallurgists and ceramicists in Mesopotamia about 4,000 years ago.
Some house's were set a fire during a meeting that we were having,at the same time there was a Town Meeting going on in another chamber of the building,and some passer by's heard what the conversation was about."Wicca"."There was an occasional jeer and dirty look from those who didnt really understand the importance of the Meeting" and after a little while,someone came by and said..."Some houses were on fire!"and the meeting quickly dispersed to find out what was going on in this "Small town in Tennessee."
"Well soon on Monday july 13th 1998,I must go and speak in court about this..and am I going to give them a piece of my mind!"my source also said, "It was nice though and such a surprise that some of the peoples who's houses got burned,found some of the towns people rebuilding the home's that was damaged"
"I want to know why the Media was surpressed,and in the Modern day,nearing the 21st century,people are still acting like the Burning Times are still permitted to go on!"
"Censorship" and "Media Surpression" has always been the device of the Ignorant when the voices of wisdom ring out,and "unecessary fear" becomes the motivating factor.
When I asked my source."What now?" "Whats the next step?" and the reply was,"Well we're not sure at the moment,but at least the area has been opened up a little bit more." "When I can release more of what happened I will,but the Attorney said for the moment to remain silent."
I stand by what I write,and will update all information when I recieve it.
But a new chemical analysis challenges this view and concludes Peking Man did not actually conquer fire in the cave,which is located in the southwestern suburbs of Beijing in Zhoukoudian,researchers said on Thursday.
"This site doesnt prove the use of fire," said Clark Howell,a Paleontologist at the University of California at Berkeley,who did not work on the study but who is familiar with the cave."There was certainly no burning in the cave itself."
"No ash or charcoal remnants could be detected,"the researchers,headed by Steve Weiner from the Weizman Institute of Science in Isreal,wrote."Hence,although indirect evidence for burning is present,there is no direct evidence for in situ burning."
Many scientists had pointed to the presence of burnt animal bones and stone tools at the cave,dated to between 200,000 and 500,000 years ago,as evidence the early cave dwellers could control fire.
But these fossilized remains do not necessarily mean early humans killed and cooked animals,the researchers,a team of experts from Israel,the United States and China,concluded.
The researchers also said they doubted early humans really used a hearth in a cave.The researchers said it was possible that at one time the cave was more open to the air and that the pools of water formed inside,wearing out the rounded bowls that earlier researchers said were hearths.
Water running off the slope could have washed the bones into the cave as it filled in overtime,Howell added.
"There is no question the sediments themselves indicate a situation involving water,"Howell said in a telephone interview.
Natural forest fires could also have blackened the bones found in the cave,he added.
"This had nothing to do with people having a picnic and roasting animal bones in a fire,"Howell said.
Knowing the date when humans first knew how to use fire tells scientists one aspect of culture and gives a more complete understanding of the Earhts early inhabitants.Howell added.
Fire was only important for early humans because it allowed them to survive in higher latitudes by offering protection against large animals and providing warmth and nutrition,the researchers added.
"That is really a step forward,"Howell said."It tells us about prehistoric people and how they adapted to their environment."
Peking Man is an example of Homo Erectus.a precursor of modern humans that died out by 100,000 years ago.
