Okay, I'm just gonna pick one for you on this episode for our fringy mini and
This one is filed under feelings uncertain. It's not can't choose between good or bad. This one's feeling uncertain
Yes, we are decisively
Uncertain not unsure you get it
So I usually just store these away based on the title alone and those are the impressions I get and I'm not sure
Actually now reading the title why I would file it under this
But let's see how we feel about it after and I only go by the title because I love to
React with everybody while reading the article. So I never read it
ever as you may come to know yeah, I feel like the title and subtitles should give you a significant enough
Notice as to what this is so we can all experience it together. That's the point of a title
Nobody should be left out. Yeah, this one's day
Brazil drought reveals ancient rock carvings of human faces. Oh that was on my list too. Was it?
Okay, well strike it off so that we don't have the same fringy mini twice in a row
This one's by Vanessa Boosh shoe shoe slur ter
From the BBC duck. Oh, you can bet that was pronounced exactly right
It starts off like this a drop in water levels of the Amazon has revealed rock carvings which had been mostly
submerged since they were carved more than a thousand years ago a
Severe drought means that the human faces carved into rocks on the shore can now be easily spotted
Some had been cited during a previous drought
But archaeologists say they have been able to locate a greater variety of the carvings this time
Okay
Now I see why I filed it under here can't choose between good or bad wait now feeling uncertain
Yeah, shit my system
You know what it's too far along in this guy to actually merge those two categories they just have to stay separate
I think I just got caught in it. Yeah, okay
the discovery was made in the city of Manao in northern Brazil and
Okay, I just have to scroll past all these pictures
They're located on a stretch of shore known as Ponta das Lages near where the Rio Negro and the
Salimóes river flow into the Amazon
Archaeologist Jamie Olivera told local media that they were carved by people who lived in the area in pre-Columbian times
Well, this region is a pre-colonial site, which has evidence of occupation dating back some 1,000 to 2,000 years
He said wow what we're seeing here are representations of anthropomorphic figures
Another rock has grooves though thought to have been used by indigenous people in the area to sharpen their arrows
The carvings were last seen in
2010 when the water level at the Rio Negro dropped to 13.63 meters or 44.7 feet on Sunday
The rivers level dropped for the first time to below 13 meters and on Monday
It fell even further to 12.89 Wow, that's crazy
And I'm looking at a picture right now of it looks like some type of ferry that's beached
Is that the proper word run beached the waters all gone from it? Yeah. Oh, it's so low
It left boat stranded on the sand beings. I don't know if it's called beached if it just
The beach came to the ferry yeah, it did the beach came to the boat exactly wait
Did the beach get voted it did in fact get boat that's bad for the beach
Yeah, that's not where both supposed to be beach. You should know these things. That's a no boat territory
It just don't work there
The Brazilian government attributes the droughts to climate change and the El Nino weather phenomenon
Which has caused the volume of rainfall in the northern Amazon to fall below the historical average and river levels to drop to near record
Levels, so I get why I filed it there. It's mostly a bad article. These are probably rock carvings
we don't want to be seeing because
The water levels are so low in this area of the Amazon which is bad for us because climate change
But the feeling and searching comes in because obviously it was low enough before to draw these
Yeah, that's what I find crazy like basically a once in like 2000 year event
Seeing as how these were carved about 2000 years ago, and we didn't know about them since
And it was so significant for them. They had to mark the special occasion
So I would not be surprised now if graffiti artists will be going out there to mark the special occasion yet again
That's really how they got there in the first place. I do find it crazy. Like this is a river, right?
Yeah, it's the Amazon. Well, it feeds into the Amazon as the article said. Oh, yeah, right
But in any of its it's crazy that these things survived at the side of a river for a thousand years
Right cuz usually they would get huge erosion. I would think yeah
There's tons of stuff like that around the world that is erosion. Yeah, that's how rivers work when I mean you wrote
So, yeah, I just find that part like mind-boggling like what is this river flowing through is it like a diamond base
It might be but in which case how did those drawings get there aliens? Yeah, exactly. It's always aliens
We're the next season of ancient aliens guys
Yeah, we'll be raking in the money because we'll be able to sue them for sure
But we've seen most recently in our minis the wooden structure that shouldn't have been there for so long
Yeah, it predates humans and this as well
So we're just seeing all these things he discovered that shouldn't technically be there
I guess this one's a little less out there though because humans definitely existed a thousand years ago
I'm fairly certain of this we have episodes that talk about humans well before 1080. I guess we could say that sure
Anyhow, I think I filed this right. I am feeling uncertain about it
Okay, but I am feeling certain about boats not belonging on the beach. That's for sure
Yeah
And I think that is one thing that we can definitively say out of anything that we've talked about boats do not belong on beaches
We I don't think we've been more sure about things in our lives having grown up in the landlocked prairies
Yeah
Where it's disturbing to see a boat boats should not be on land
The beach is the warning area for the boats
But that's probably enough pondering of the uncertainty
In the world end of life and for 48 hours you can speculate on boats and their specific locations
Particularly if you see one out of the water in which case I suggest that you explain to boats how they work. Yeah, anyhow
See you guys Friday. Bye!
