Cool thread and nice dubs. I don't have anything to share but I'll bump

>>18985655
Yeah man, ancient accounts are totally accurate and not made up, especially those written by the highly superstitious Romans.

>>18985670

>>18985991
He specifically said "ancient accounts" not "all of history."

thank you for inspiring me to share that

>>18986008
doesn't matter if anything people are more superstitious now than they were in the past

>>18986028
I dunno man, we have come so far along in understanding the way the world works. Back then superstition in large part was all they had to go on in terms of understanding the bizarre nature of things.

>>18986055
Are you kidding? If anything, the world is even more bizarre now.

Back then: why do things fall down? what is lightning?

Now: is this universe a hologram from a 11D multiverse fractal? what is lightning?

>>18986071
Do you not know what lightning is, anon?

>>18986076
"Lightning's relative unpredictability limits a complete explanation of how or why it occurs, even after hundreds of years of scientific investigation." Wikipedia

Elactracal sparks from the hammar of Thor, of koarse.

>>18986084
And you cite Wikipedia. As if that's the worlds most reliable resource.
"Heavier, negatively charged particles sink to the bottom of the cloud. When the positive and negative charges grow large enough, a giant spark - lightning - occurs between the two charges within the cloud. This is like a static electricity sparks you see, but much bigger."

I wonder if a whale didn't breach and land on the uboat like pic related. Between the resulting chaos and the frazzled state of the crew I could see this getting confused

>>18985655
Whoa cool painting I love how the leviathan is just dredging up all these other sea creatures with him.

Couldn't possibly have been a hippo or an elephant under water could it? Must have been supernatural

>>18988273
Nigga, elephants don't go under water. We all know it was OP's mom anyway

>>18985655
There was a report of some kind of flying object which destroyed the walls of tyre so Alexander could invade. Also reports of "flying sheilds" which tried to intimidate his army when attacking India. They never outright assaulted his army, just swooped at it and scared the troops.

No one else is interested. But I'll throw in another one.
There is recorded in Christopher Columbus' voyage logs a report of him seeing ufos. They seemed to just hover and observe the ships, not really causing any disturbance.
I have more if this thread survives awhile.

>>18990313
One more before bed.
There was, in the early days of Europeans exploring the west, a certain tribe of Indians living in modern day Illinois. They had a legend of a thunderbird, a common enough story among the many tribes in the region. But this tribe had a unique artifact, a petroglyph with the image of one carved and painted into a bluff. They also had a legend of their tribe finally killing one of these monsters, which had been attacking and killing members of the tribe. Finally in the 1880s a man named Macadams was brought to the area to explore a cave where one of the creatures had supposedly made a nest. When he arrived, he didn't find the body of the thunderbird, he did however find the cave filled with bones, hundreds of which were human.

bump this is interesting

Not truly a paranormal story, More of an idea.The Library of Alexandria, A place full of all of the knowledge gathered in Rome I believe. Then the barbarians, the foolhardy humans. Came to burn the library to the ground. All of the secrets the knowledge gathered rendered, naught but ash.

One more, The hanging gardens of Babylon, A place hidden tucked away in the desert. A massive city with gardens full of plants from around the world with advanced water distribution systems and plants rumored to be from all corners of the world. Also one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

>>18995014
Caesars men burned the library while fighting Pompeiis' men. He even wrote about it in his commentaries. But I think alot of /x stuff was lost because of this. Just a theory, but the Egyptians would have been using papyrus by the days of Moses, so if there were records of the great catastrophic exodus, they would have been kept there.

>>18995210
Well, there were many hidden tunnels discovered under the pyramid of Giza. The Egyptian government keeps it under wraps.

>>18994928
Then, the star-moving-wind youkai ended up in Gensokyo

Finally a true interesting thread. Bumping

>>18995210
Multiple people burned the library at multiple times and more stuff was lost each time. The muslims and the crusaders also burned the library at some point.

>>18985655
Whoa a non-shitty /x/ thread. Take a bump senpai

Now at least a few people are interested.
During the voyages of Amerigo Vespucci, he tells a first hand account of one of his forays inland on the island of Curacao. He tells of following a trail of large footprints which eventually led to a small village. It was almost empty, save for a few old woman and three woman who were so tall the men were amazed. While contemplating kidnapping the girls, the explorers plan was cut short when the men of the village returned. These men were so large that when on their knees, they were still taller than Vespucci. The explorers decided to make a peaceful retreat, and were followed back to the ship. When on board they fired a few canon shots to scare the giant natives, and sailed away.

Nice blogging fagbots.

Well shit post if you must, but trying to breath some life into this deranged Somali helal recipe board isn't fucking easy, so you can just get aids, anon.

>>18992894
They didn't call it a thunderbird, though. It was named "Piasa", which means "Bird that eats men".

>>18996909
True. Just thought it fits the thunderbird motif of general American lore.

>>18986084
>Relative unpredictability LIMITS complete explanation
We know how, what,and why, we don't know when and where.
>Hundreds of years
Only about 100 of those years actually had any good science done.
