There are pictures on the internet, therefore it MUST be true.
The earth is indeed billions of years old but that in itself doesn't mean anything is possible.
There were pictures in the Great Soviet Encyclopaedia, too, and it was axiomatic that they must have been true.
Even the ones that had several different truths, as version succeeded version, or edition succeeded edition (as the bitter joke had it "the past is constantly changing, only the future is certain and glorious") and the published prints, or pictures, had to reflect new realities, realities comprised of an ever shrinking cast.
These days I'm inclined to believe any ass backwards theory of what's possible over what's not possible.
Was reading a book and i came across it so decided to check it out. Nothing is impossible we weren't around even 500 years ago let alone billions
Well .... we humans are only a tiny percentage of the "whole" thing so what we haven't seen outweighs what we've seen big big big time.
Only narrow minded people will inclined without any justification or explanations. I am not saying you , generally.
Pretty sure humans have been around before 1519! There are buildings not far from here older than that. Let alone written history, artwork and the like!Was reading a book and i came across it so decided to check it out. Nothing is impossible we weren't around even 500 years ago let alone billions

Ah, I see the roving twit is back. Least no mention of sex, drugs and gambling this time.
I watched the Apple event on YouTube yesterday afternoon. Some cool new iPhone features, the games looked neat if you're into non triple A gaming, but I was more impressed with the motion graphics intro.

You got me wrong. I meant us, now days like you and i.
I am open to anything , we can't reject things without giving proper answers.

I take it that when you write "we weren't around 500 years ago", you mean those of you sitting writing posts on this forum, rather than humanity in general.
Any scientific account that I have read seems to suggest that humanity - in its current form - has been around for approximately 35,000 years, with the development of agriculture, towns and urban living, professional specialisation, numeracy and writing, taking place approximately 10,000 years ago.
While this may be true, I doubt that this holds true for the pictures you posted.
And only credulous ones take everything that they see at face value without investigating and interrogating sources and content and context.
Again, Piltdown Man comes to mind.
There is a whole iPhone section on this forum where people are discussing this subject matter endlessly and with some heat.
Anyway, to answer your question, no, not really, as it is not relevant to my needs.
Will be good if you write in simple English this is not a vocabulary competition show
I read and write 3 languages but i have no clue what you are saying.

I am ESL and I can assure you that she wrote in “simple English”.
Quite candidly, I have found that the judicious application of Occam's Razor is all you really need in such circumstances.
Your English is very professional i don't think you are ESL. Or you are very eduacated Yaxomoxay.

Re-written by request in something resembling English 101: Don't believe everything you see without checking out who wrote it and why they wrote it and where it came from and whether it has been altered or doctored prior to publication.
I'm an historian by training.
Therefore, to me, facts matter and verification of sources is critically important.

Bad luck, and commiserations.
Plenty of rest (those 4 a.m. starts are not a good idea unless absolutely necessary) and fluids; stay hydrated, warm and try to rest, or relax, or switch off a bit.
I think you said that you may be starting a new position, one that represents a promotion.
This cold may be a manifestation of delayed stress that the extensive preparation for this position may have entailed.
That has also happened to me - coming down with something while on leave, - as the occasion for the stress has been removed - having just left a very stressful professional environment.

Who said i believed? My very first post was a question and i said " Mega humans true or myth"
I think this is a question its not a "belief"
Who knows probably its a giant humans that build the Pyramids ???
We can't just dismiss things we are not sure of and be narrow minded.
Just a polite interjection, it has been demonstrated how the pyramids were built - no huge mystery when you have lots of labour available. They were not slaves by the way, but would work between harvest season IIRC when the Nile was flooded.
I have seen the pyramids, they were built with massive stones on top of each other. Some of the stones are big as bedrooms so it makes you wonder how they lift them.
