Default THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



"THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR"
Foreward
(by Alfred de Grazia)

In 1950, a book called Worlds in Collision, by Dr. Immanuel
Velikovsky, gave rise to a controversy in scientific and intellectual
circles about scientific theories and the sociology of science.

Dr. Velikovsky's historical and cosmological concepts, bolstered by
his acknowledged scholarship, constituted a formidable assault on
certain established theories of astronomy, geology and historical
biology, and on the heroes of those sciences.

Newton, himself, and Darwin were being challenged, and indeed
the general orthodoxy of an ordered universe.

The substance of Velikovsky's ideas is briefly presented in the first
chapter of this book.

What must be called the scientific establishment rose in arms, not
only against th new Velikovsky theories but against the man himself.
Efforts were made to block dissemination of Dr. Velikovsky's ideas,
and even to punish supporters of his investigations.

Universities, scientific societies, publishing houses, the popular press
were approached and threatened; social pressures and professional
sanctions were invoked to control public opinion.

There is no doubt that in a totalitarian society, not only would Dr.
Velikovsky's reputation have been at stake, but also his right to
pursue his inquiry, and perhaps his own personal safety.

As it was, the "establishment" succeeded in building a wall of
unfavorable sentiment around him: to thousands of scholars
the name of Velikovsky bears the taint of fantasy, science-fiction
and publicity.

He could not be suppressed entirely. In the next few years
he published three more books. He carried on a large
correspondence. And he was helped by friends and by a large
general public composed of persons outside of the establishments
of science.

The probings of spacecraft tended to confirm -- never to disprove --
his arguments.

Eventually, the venomous aspects of the controversy,
the efforts at suppression, the campaign of vilification
loomed almost as large, in their consequences to science,
as the original issue.

Social scientists, who had been generally aware of Dr. Velikovsky's
work, now found themselves in the thick of the conflict.
The involvement of the social and behavioral sciences in the
scientific theories of Velikovsky was higher than had been earlier
appreciated.

The social sciences are the basis of Velikvsky's work: despite his
proficiency in the natural sciences, it is by the use of the
methodology of social science that Velikovsky launched his challenge
to accepted cosmological theories.

No one pretends that this method is adequate. New forms of
interdisciplinary research are needed to wed, for example, the study
of myth with the study of meteorities.

Nor does one have to agree that Velikovsky is the greatest technician
of mythology, even while granting his great conceptual and
synthesizing powers.

Whatever the scientific substance, the controversy inself could not
be avoided or dismissed by behavioral science.

The problem of sicence is one of the agitating problems
of the twentieth century. The issues are clear:
WHO DETERMINES SCIENTIFIC TRUTH? (My caps, not his!)
WHO ARE ITS HIGH PRIESTS, AND WHAT IS THEIR
WARRANT?

HOW DO THEY ESTABLISH THEIR CANONS?
WHAT EFFECTS DO THEY HAVE ON THE FREEDOM
OF INQUIRY, AND ON PUBLIC INTEREST?

In the end, some judgment M-U-S-T must be passed upon the behavior
of the scientific world and, if adverse, some remedies must be
proposed . . .

It is our hope that the publication of these papers in the present
volume (a revised and enlarged version) will make it less easy for
Velikovsky's new work to be suppressed, or lightly dismissed.

We hope, too, that they will help scientists and interested laymen
everywhere to rehearse the problems and to REFORM THE ERRORS
of the vast enterprise of science.

===============================================

(But a half-century late, things sure haven't changed. The disgraceful
Scientific Community is still belittling honest investigators,
berating legitimate scientific evidence and badmouthing and
blackballing seekers of The Truth.)

General Accounting Office, WHERE ARE YOU?

Isn't it time YOU lived up to your responsibility to protect
the American taxpayers' dollar and put your giant foot down on
the scoundrels who -- via their deceit, deception, collusion and
conspiracy, THEIR TOTAL DISHONESTY -- are keeping
the fresh air of truth from replacing the $tink of Science?

============================================



This article details with incredible anthropological
discoveries made in Pennsylvania's anthracite
region -- petrified bones, teeth and soft organs
(some human) -- that annihilates the theory of the
evolution of man.

The corrupt Scientific Establishment has been
avoiding honest, courageous investigation of
any sort regarding these specimens and just wishes
these discoveries would go away, which they won't.

=====================================
MAN AS OLD AS COAL
=====================================

PETRIFIED FINGER AND TOE:
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Au29/MVC-016S.JPG


You should be displeased to know that truth is no longer playing
second fiddle to the fiction, fantasy and fairy tales that have been
dished out for more than a century about man's origin and ancestry.

At long last, it's nearing the official end of the deceit, deception,
collusion and conspiracy that has long been perpetrated by arrogant,
egotistical members of the Scientific Establishment in and out of its
hallowed Halls of Learning -- the Smithsonian Institution, foremost.

Their monumental hoax on mankind has more than met its match
with the discovery of undeniable physical evidence that,
multi-millions of years ago, the good earth wasn't anything like what
has long been depicted by the scientific community.

For one thing, man -- in almost our present form -- existed while
coal was being formed, and our ancestors lived alongside giant
scorpions, dinosaurs and beasts with six-inch-high canine teeth.

And man and animals had one thing in common. Both were
annihilated in some incredible catastrophe that blew them limb
from limb and scattered their bones, teeth and soft organs
in all directions.

This is an underground mining map showing coal veins
that were vioently disrupted, and where most of these
fossils came from.

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Fossils/MVC-033S.JPG


What happened next is a testament to the late, great Immanuel
Velikovsky who, more than a half-century ago, wrote that the true
story of earth's -- and man's -- past is written in the rocks, visible
for all to see as part of the fossil record.

Eons ago, before coal hardened, some sort of fluid engulfed the
bones, teeth and soft organs just after the great catastrophe, causing
them to petrifiy and now offers a mindboggling horror story of
mankind's far-distant past.

That man existed during the Carboniferous Period also offers
proof that we could not possibly have evolved as suggested
by the Darwin Theory.

Rightly so, because the theory of the evolution of man never
possessed a shred of physical evidence in the first place. It
was -- and is -- a sham.

Man could not -- and did not -- become such a magnificent machine
by a series of incredible accidents of nature because that's an
astronomical mathematical absurdity.

Even Charles Darwin had a sneaky suspicion his theory was full
of hot air.

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/truth/tosuppose.gif


And Earnest Hooton, longtime professor of anthropology at Harvard
University, seconded the motion years later in his book, "Apes, Men
and Morons," citing the absence of undeniable physical evidence.

" I can point to many anatomical
features of man in which the known
courses of evolution can be explained
plausibly by the theory of natural
selection, but I do not know of one
in which it can be proved."


But, since we were spoon-fed such pablum -- the evolution of man --
by members of the omniscient Scientific Establishment, most of us
ate up every word. These pompous asses were neither to be
questioned nor challenged.

About a year after finding my first specimen of petrified bone between
coal veins in June 1981, I couldn't believe the incedible resistence
I was encountering in my pursuit of honest investigation.

My longtime friend, Clayton Lennon (1900-1996), warned me it
wouldn't be easy and one day, between puffs of his cigar,
summed up my despair quite eloquently .

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/coalbones/edyournot.gif


Meanwhile, as their noses continued to grow (from lies), so also
did the arrogance of members of the Scientific Establishment who
had long lost the goal of a search for truth. The only important thing
to them, I soon learned, was to make no waves and concentrate
on protecting their vested interests.

Over time, they had become incredibly ruthless and bold, really
believing that -- as members of omnipotent Acadamia -- they could
do anything they damn well pleased and answer to no one..

Since I have had a ringside seat over these past 23 years, it has
included not only their denial of physical evidence that could --
would -- destroy the theory of the evolution of man but actually
tampering with that evidence. And I have come right out and named
names.

Then, with brass testicles, the "criminals" were actually belitting
the victim, with character assassination leveled like a Gatling gun.

And even worse, the assault on truth was adamantly defended by
their colleagues, and still is.

Fortunately, for your grandchildren and mine, that day is over.
The pseudoscientists' day of reckoning has finally arrived.

But it comes as no surprise. After all, they had been forewarned:

TRUTH FINALLY CATCHES UP TO THE PERPETRATORS
OF DECEIT, DECEPTION, COLLUSION AND CONSPIRACY

MAN AS OLD AS COAL
All Specimens Found Between Anthracite Veins


(Strata geologically dated at a minimum of 280 million years)

Here are just a few of the thousands upon thousands of specimens
of petrified bones, teeth and/or even soft organs -- some human --
that I have discovered between two separate anthracite veins
in Northeastern Pennsylvania over the past 23 years.

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/pp/MVC-022S.JPG


Strange, according to scientific doctrine, they couldn't possibly
have been found in Carboniferous strata, dated at a minimum
of 280 million years.

You see, every scientific textbook insists that no large land
animals, let alone man, existed back then. Hell, man wouldn't begin
evolving until multi-millions of years later, the pseudos proclaimed.

But the incredible arsenal of petrified bones, teeth and even soft
organs proves -- beyond doubt -- that man and large land animals
indeed had been around when coal was being formed. Otherwise,
their mortal remains could not have been preserved between layers
of anthracite as the result of a catastrophe beyond our wildest
imagination.

And, since this is the grim evidence that a catastrophe happened
before, there is NO question that it could happen again.

Velikovsky provided evidence of catastrophes in his two books,
"Worlds in Collision" and "Earth in Upheaval," published back
in the early 1950s. In them, he offered undeniable evidence of
calamities beyond human comprehension but was ridiculed
and badmouthed by members of the deceitful, dishonest Scientific
Establishment.

Here's a copy of these two books, in paperback, and an explanation
why Velikovsky was treated with scorn and contempt, which is how
members of the Scientific Establishment have treated me for the last
23 years.

================================================== ==

================================================== ==


A longtime newspaperman, I figured -- realizing I was getting
the shaft from the Scientific Establishment -- I'd get a fair shake
from newspapers in an effort to tell my story.

I thought editors would be genuinely interested in what might've
sounded like a farfetched story, except that it was backed up by
petrified bones, teeth and soft organs as old as coal.

Reporters from the Allentown (Pa.) Call-Chronicle and Las Vegas
Sun, to mention just two, were greatly impressed. But when their
stories appeared in print, it took my breath away. The articles were
completely negative, making me look like that proverbial horse's
ass.

Naturally, there was nothing I could do about it, so I had to give up
on newspapers completely. I had long known the New York Times,
Washington Post and Philadelphia Inquirer wouldn't touch it because
they had several opportunities to do so but bowed to their vested
interests and ignored me.

Ditto for the TV network news shows like "60 Minutes."

For the longest time, it appeared the world would never know the truth
about the catastrophe that decimated both man and animal while coal
was being formed.

Then a miracle happened -- along came the Internet which gave me
a way to reach the pubic. But, of course, the public wasn't paying
attention because members of the Scientific Establishment kept making
me look like a fool and an imbecile.

And, if you recall, they had been doing a mighty fine job of it
right up until now I assembled the assortment of petrified bones,
teeth and soft organs (some human). That's when members of the
Scientific Establishment got the second biggest shock of their lives,
dwarfed only by the second jet plowing into the Twin Towers.

Suddenly overnight, with the presentation of an arsenal of physical
evidence, the ridicule and character assassination have eased
somewhat.

Suddenly, their cannons had ran out of ammunition, accusations that
I'm a liar and a fraud.

Suddenly, these Clown Princes of Science -- long having made
a joke at the expense of sacred Science -- finally realized that
their involvement in deceit, deception, collusion and conspiracy
might finally be catching up to them and their monumental fraud.

These Omniscient Buffoons have defended their colleagues
who, with incredible audacity, have made a mockery of physical
evidence, totally ignoring it and sometimes even tampering with it.

Thomas Alva Edison probably put in a nutshell what they were
doing for so long, and my dear friend Clayton was right on target,
too.

===========================================
========= SOME OF THE SPECIMENS =========

===========================================

THE VERY FIRST DISCOVERY


The following is the very first discovery of petrified bone in
coal-bearing Carboniferous strata in June 1981.

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith1/first.jpg


The specimen, which I found by accident, resembled a giant skull
and the Smithsonian expressed an interest after receiving a photo,
inviting me to bring it down to Washington so it could be examined
firsthand.

Three of its "experts" -- an anthropologist, a paleontologist and a
geologist -- looked it over carefully but, after a few minutes,
concurred that it was nothing more than a rock or concretion,
certainly nothng that had ever lived.

No one mentioned that a microscopic study of the specimen's
cellular structure would accurately identify whether it is or is not
bone. (I had no knowledge of this fact at the time and wouldn't
become aware of it until many months later)

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/brain/textbook.gif
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Newpix3/thefactthat.gif


In any event, while preparing to leave the Smithsonian, I politely
asked if they would want to keep the specimen, perhaps to break
apart the jaw-like area to see if teeth could be found inside. The
three "experts" -- Joseph Brown and Robert McCurdy, the only
two names I remember -- laughed at me and said it would be
an absolute waste of their time.

About a month later -- rather discouraged -- I decided to search
the interior of the jaw-like area on my own. It began with a icepick
to penetrate the rock hardness, then using all sorts of small tools
to reach inside and, strangely, begin pulling out what resembled
brownish dirt.

I was mysified that some sort of cavity existed and contacted
the Smithsonian about this -- but was totally ignored.

After several weeks of part-time probing, I found a pair of peculiar
objects inside. Photos were taken, greatly enlarged and sent to
Krogman, one of the world's foremost human anatomists who
wrote the book, "The Human Skeleton in Forensic Medicine."

Our friendship had begun months previous when I had driven
to Lancaster to show him the first strange specimen I had found
that had come from between coal veins -- the large skull that
the Smithsonian later dismissed as a rock.

Krogman studied the photo of the inclusion, then told me over
the phone that the object is definitely a premolar tooth because
"I can see a pair of cusps."

Here's the photo that Krogman had examined, with the dime
offering an indication of size.

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Tool/MVC-014S.JPG


The photo below shows another view of where the premolar was
attached.

http://edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/z1.jpg


Krogman suggested an infrared scan be performed and it was done
at American Medical Laboratories in Chantilly, Va. Here's the result
of the test:

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/coalbones/graph.gif


This is what the laboratory stated in its official report:

http://edconrad.com/ebay/Newpix3/result.gif


It meant that the inclusion in the jaw-like area was neither rock
nor concretion but something that once lived.

When the scan was interpreted later, this fact was confirmed.

http://edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/compatible.gif


It also should be emphasized that microscopic study of the
skull-like object was conducted and Haversian canals -- miniscule
circles, the tell-tale sign of bone -- were visible.

It had prompted Krogman, at one point, to offer great encourgement,
as he followed the discoveries with great interest.:

http://www.edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/krogquote.gif


============================================
PETRIFIED HUMAN SKULL


The following specimen was identified by Krogman as a petrified
human calvarium -- a skull with the eye sockets broken off -- after
he personally had examined it and even measured it with
caliphers, expressing pleasure with the results..

Krogman, who was personally invited by the Egyptian government
to be present when a Pharoah's tomb was opened years before, is
shown holding the calvarium in the second photo.

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/z11calv.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/krogwskull.jpg


Moments after this photo was taken of Krogman with the specimen,
an associate -- a medical doctor -- walked into his office at the
Cooper Clinic in Lancaster, Pa., and he told him to come closer
to see "the oldest human skull ever found."

Two other photos of the specimen:

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/MVC-006S.JPG
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/MVC-007S.JPG


Meanwhile, a CATscan revealed a second protrusion not visible
to the naked eye but located precisely where it would be expected
to be found in a human cranium.

Here's a copy of that scan:

http://www.edconrad.com/images/catcalv.jpg


This specimen also tested positive for the presence of Haversian
canals under microscopic scrutiny.

Additionally, American Medical Laboratories performed testing
of calculus analysis by crystallography on the specimen and
found "a composition of dried blood intermingled with a few
small crystals resembling calcium oxalate dihydrate."

The laboratory's official report follows:

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/AML/MVC-012S.JPG

=============================================

ANOTHER PETRIFIED HUMAN SKULL -- IN A BOULDER


Another petrified human cranium was found approximately
a year later only a short distance from where the human
calvarium was discovered.

It was -- still is -- embedded in a boulder..

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/skulla.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/skullb.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith1/other1.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/z2_2.jpg


The Smithsonian was sent a photograph and Raymond Rye,
musem specialist, replied in writing: "The object ... does resemble
the outline of a human skull ... We must do a microscopic study
of the outer rind to determine if it has the structure of bone."

http://edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/rr072782.gif


The Smithsonian had been mailed granules, as requested, then
weeks later replied: "X-ray analysis of the material reveals it to be
quartz, the most abundant material of the earth's crust. So, although
the enigmatic object exposed in the boulder may resemble a hominid
skull, its mineral compostion is definitely not that of bone."

http://edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/rr090982.gif


The fact is, "x-ray analysis" is NOTan appropriate test to identify
the presence or absence of cellular structure.

Later, a microcopic photo of granules removed from the specimen
revealed the presence of Haversian canals. (Actually, I knew they
did ahead of time because I had examined other granules
microscopically before sending them to the Smithsonian.)

Here's one of those microscopic photos of the cell structu

http://www.edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/proof1.jpg


=============================================== =
PETRIFIED HUMAN FEMUR


This is a petrified human femur still embedded in shale,
a near-cousin of coal. Portions of the bulb ends have broken off.

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith1/z7femur.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Spec/MVC-001S.JPG


Since a femur measures approximately one-fourth of a human
being's height, the femur belonged to someone at least 7 1/2-foot
tall.

================================================ =====

PORTION OF A TIBIA (The subject of fraudulently testing by Andrew
MacRae)


This specimen was identified as a portion of a tibia by Krogman
and was subjected to one of the greatest cover-ups in the history
of science.

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/newtibia.jpg


Andrew Macrae, then of Calgary University, performed fraudulent
testing when entrusted to examine its cellular structure and publish
the microscopic photos on his web page. Instead. he posted
microscopic photos of a rock or a concretion.

Macrae undoubtedly was advised and assisted by Paul Myers, then
of Temple University in Philadelphia and now at the University of
Minnesota.

When charged with participating in the scam, Myers adamantly denied
it. Then, when I suggested officials of Temple University check their
long-distance telephone calls during the time that Macrae was
"testing" the specimen in the summer of 1996, Myers suddenly admitted
in the talk.origins news group that he had made many phone calls
to Calgary University in that time span but on other business.

It didn't end there. Myers later admitted in talk.origins that he had
FLOWN to Calgary one weekend during that same time period and had
spent time on campus. He said he didn't even have a chance to say
hello to Macrae, claiming he was there on other business.

Here are two additional photos of the portion of the petrified tibia,
(known as EC96-001 for Macrae's fraudulent testing purposes).

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/fossil/z15tib2.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/fossil/z15tib1.jpg


In addition, a scanning electronic microscope (SEM) was used
to examine the interior surface features of this specimen and then
compare it with cadaver bone at the same power magnification. These
are the photos at 2,000-times magnification:.

http://edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/bones.jpg


(They would look incredibly similiar if the grains were lying in
exactly the same direction.)

The left photo in the first URL below shows what Andrew Macrae
posted on his web page, claiming it was the cell structure of
EC96-001 and nothing like bone should look like (in the right photo).
The next two photos show EC96-001's true cell structure.

http://www.edconrad.com/canals/ts_compare1.jpg
http://edconrad.com/canals/slide1.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/canals/0505160x.jpg


It was just one of several fraudulent maneuvers perpetrated
by members of the Scientifiic Establishment over the past 23
years when the first specimen -- the large petrified skull -- was
discovered.

Additionally, American Medical Laboratories performed calculus
analysis by crystallography on EC96-001 and determined that it
"consisted predominately of dried blood and protein."

That report follows:

PETRIFIED MANDIBLE

between the same coal veins:

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Tool/MVC-019S.JPG


A lung is a soft organ and, as such, many contend it can never
petrify. However, in recent years it was established conclusively
that soft organs can indeed be subjected to the petrification process.

============================================


PETRIFIED GALL BLADDER, WITH GALLSTONE


Here's a petrified gall bladder, and a CATscan revealed the presence
of a gall stone inside.

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/z5gall.jpg


This is one of the specimens that also was tested at American
Medical Laboratories via calculus analysis by crystallography.

It revealed the specimen "consists of a few small pieces of dried
blood," adding that "none of the constituents normally found
in urinary calculi are present." (which comes as no surprise since
the specimen it tested is petrified).

That report follows:

PETRIFIED DINOSAUR FOOT

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Tool/MVC-013S.JPG


It should be noted that a third "toe" was later found embedded
in the slate where it would be expected to be. A video tape exists
showing the top cover of slate patiently being removed, revealing
the third "toe" just beneath the surface.

I should mention that the petrified femur and petrifed dinosaur
foot remain as you see them -- still embedded in slate (or shale)
-- the way they were steamshoveled from between coal veins.

They are somewhere in this photo, taken from approximately five
miles up, of scar-marked land that was strip-mined of its coal. But
those remarkable discoveries are still there if you'd like to search.

HANDCRAFTED WOODEN TOOL

transformed to anthracite. It also was found between the same
two coal veins.

PETRIFIED BONE EMBEDDED IN SLATE


Here's a portion of petrified bone still embedded in slate,
confirming that it's older than the material in which it was encased.
Obviously, that material had to be fluid or in a fluidy state for
something to harden around it.

(I accidentally dropped the giant tooth on the sidewalk in Hazleton,
Pa. -- too heavy for the paper bag --and the tip broke off but the
two pieces fit together almost perfectly.)

PETRIFIED FETUS EMBEDDED IN SLATE


Here's another petrified fetus, this one still embedded in slate
(or shale).

PORTION OF GIANT PETRIFIED SCORPION


This is a portion of a giant prehistoric scorpion that was
identified as such by Wilton Krogman.

When the world famous bone expert examined this specimen
found between coal veins, he first turned to me and mentioned
that he had performed countless disections of scorpions in college.

"What you have, Mr. Conrad (never Ed), is a portion of a giant
prehistoric scorpion," he told me.

When discovered, the specimen was broken in two parts but they
fit together perfectly.

This particular specimen was the subject of another cover-up
by members of the Scientific Establishment -- the Department of
Entomology at Penn State University.

Penn State actually has batted 0-for-3 with its attempted
cover-ups of my specimens: First, its Department of Paleontology
(Roger Cuffey); Second, its Department of Anthropology (Robert
Eckardt). Third, its Department of Entomology (Charles Pitts).

'
YERKES CONFIRMS SPECIMEN IS BONE


One of the specimens found between anthracite veins was positively
identified as petrified bone by the Yerkes Regional Primate Research
Center at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga., which Krogman described
as "the most prestigious institution of its kind in the world."

Jeremy Dahl, one of its bone experts who examined and tested it,
even put it in writing and signed his name, also making a drawing
of the specimen that he had examined and tested..

Dahl definitely had examined the specimen's cell structure because
he had cut off a slice while it was is possession.

PETRIFIED HOMINID MANDIBLE


Here's another petrified hominid jaw, the frontal portion. Inclusions
are embedded in it, possibly teeth or even part of the tongue.

PETRIFIED EGGS


Here are what appear to be petrified eggs. About eight of them
were found together more than 200 feet below the original
surface of the ground (on the side wall of a stripping pit).

SOMEWHAT SIMILIAR SPECIMENS


Here are two strange specimens, almost similiar. What makes them
so intriguing is that they were found between anthracite veins some
40 miles apart -- one near Shenandoah and the other near Wilkes-Barre.

THREE INTRIGUING SPECIMENS


Here are three intriguing specimens:

RAYMOND DART IMPRESSED


The late, great Raymond Dart, MD., relished the opportunity to examine
some of the specimens after Krogman had informed him about them.

This photo shows Dart holding what Krogman identified as a calvarium,
a human cranium with the eye sockets broken off.

Here's Raymond Dart's letter:

===============================================
28 October, 1983

Dear Mr. Conrad:

This is being written as a follow-up to our meeting here in
Philadelphia on Saturday, Oct. 15, during which I had the
opportunity to examine many of the rock-like objects you
had discovered in the coal fields of Pennsylvania, near
Shenandoah.
In my opinion, the vast majority bear the contour of bone
and may well be petrified bone.

I was particularly intrigued by one of your specimens which
I agree bears a distinct resemblance to a dainosaur head
or a homind skullcap, heavily petrified.
Based on our vast ignorance about vulconology, as regards
both anatomy and anthropology, I am of the opinion that your
findings definitely warrant intense investigation by that subject's
foremost experts, especially here in America where so many
volcanic disturbances occur even today.
Yours sincerely,
Raymond A. Dart (signed)


Raymond A. Dart, M.D.

Philadelphia, Pa. 19118


Here's a photo of Raymond Dart with Ed Conrad (the photo was
taken by a house painter who obliged by decending a ladder
to do so.)

DINOSAUR FOOT EMBEDDED IN SLATE


That man co-existed with dinosaurs -- back while anthracite was
being formed -- gains credence with these photos of a petrified
dinosaur foot embedded in slate.

PECULIAR SPECIMEN


Another specimen of petrified bone embedded in slate:

The original Easter bunny? Then, again, it might be the head
of a petrified jackass. And, IF it is, it would be rather appropriate.

The Scientific Establishment -- led by its worldwide brood of
arrogant, defiant tenured fossils -- has long been treating
John Q. Public, and his kids, like a jackass, promoting fairy tales
and molesting truth.

Over the past 22 years, it has engaged in deceit, deception, collusion
and conspiracy -- of MONUMENTAL proportions -- and one of the
ringleaders has been the Smithsonian Institution.

=============================================== =
=============================================== =


And here's my final thought (one picture should be worth
a thousand words):

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Vel1/MVC-001S.JPG


No question, members of the scientific establishment academia
-- professors, students and alumni -- have long been fearful
of me and my discoveries because of the dire consequences
they realize that truth would bring.

And well they should have been because now that time has
come. They're finally being put in their place and recognized
for the total disgrace to science that they've been.

NOW they're not just *afraid* of Ed Conrad. They're terrified!

MAN AS OLD AS COAL
and
PROOF OF LIFE AFTER DEATH

===============\/=====================

This is the 41st anniversary of one of the greatest
news stories in Pennsylvania history -- the miraculous
rescue of anthracite miners David Fellin and Hank
Throne near Sheppton in August 1963.
But there was much more to it than meets the eye.
