While searching for anomalies via Google Earth in Antarctica, we discovered by chance something quite remarkable in the receding ice patches of Antarctica. Using Google Earth, I found what looked to be a fully intact fossil of a potential Ichthyosaur, the biggest marine reptile Earth has ever seen. The only issue is that while Ichthyosaurs were thought to grow upwards of 70 ft in length, the fossil discovery was 115 feet long — a little too large for it to be a simple outlier. We published this potential Ichthyosaur discover in 2017, still convinced that the fossil looked too close to the Ichthyosaurs class of marine reptiles to completely dispute the idea. Not longer than a year later the Smithsonian magazine in conjunction with the National Geographic published articles detailing new findings that indeed Ichthyosaurs are at least 33% larger than previously thought, and possibly larger than even blue whales.
So our only paleontology episode in 150 videos surveying Google Earth in Antarctica so happens to name the exact species, Ichthyosaur that a year later became the paleontology story of the year! Could this be just an incredible coincidence, or is it an independent confirmation that indeed this huge potential discovery is real? Not to mention that the findings were directly related the size of Ichthyosaur being larger, something we suspected a year before.
Then in early October 2019 scientists published their “ground breaking” discovery that Antarctica happens to be a treasure trove of marine reptiles fossils, specifically ones living 250 millions years ago, the exact date Ichthyosaurs first arrived on planet Earth. Yep, you can say the evidence is pilling up.
Lastly we discuss new evidence that seems to indicate that indeed a comet likely stuck Earth 12,800 years ago massively disrupting human civilization. We believe, and with good reasons, that this cataclysm might have been responsible for the final extinction of Neanderthals!
