He has a 1 hr video of the work being done on the vase. It was pretty good. Those stone vases and stuff have always been the smoking gun for me on a past civilization. I find the subject fascinating but at the same time it's really a non issue. If they came out tomorrow and said yea we found a civilization that was more advanced than we are now and they were around 100,000 years ago, it's not going to change much.We are clueless about the real history of this place.
The only way they will find stuff is to go into the hall of records under the Paw of the sphinx or dig deeper in Egypt.
My guess is they already discovered some amazing things and want to keep it all secret for some reason.
I get the sense that N Africa used to be lush and green like Brazil.There is supposed to be stuff under that whole sand strip across the top of Africa. Miners looking for metals etc using that ground penetrating radar type of tech (whatever that is) have reported things that look to be city remnants across the area. Mostly unexplored from what I read.
+ All the talk and supposed evidence that Atlantis was real and advanced.
I dunno?!
I'd not discount anything really, it's been a long time!

A few years ago they realized the Sahara goes between green and sand every 13k years or so. Something to do with the earths wobble. I'm sure it's also something that is not factored into the climate models.I get the sense that N Africa used to be lush and green like Brazil.
Was it the first apocalypse of humanity that wiped it dry?
Destroyed the world for an eternity and now we're just getting back to where we were when we did it the first time?
I agree, and feel like it is times like these, when there are contrary signs and indecision, that the market makes moves that surprise. $64K question is which way it goes. My heart says up, my head says down.I keep wrestling with the silver/gold markets.....Silver is looking poised and ready for a breakout, perhaps violently. However, gold is looking overbought and extended on this multi-month run higher. Just a few months ago we were at 1610. Gold is looking close to the end of its move on this wave.
So that makes me wonder, can silver really bust a move higher when gold is topping out? I just love the looks of silver right now, but afraid to buy because of everything else.

I'll have to write a poem one day... 'Lament of the permabull'

Hedge funds add to their bullish bets on gold ahead of pivotal FOMC decision
Kitco News' general-interest stories takes a look at what is making headlines in the marketplace and how that is impacting precious metals priceswww.kitco.com
Sounds like folks are expecting gold to top/pull back a bit.
NatGas Daily - I'm thinking the blood letting will come to an end from here to the $2.46 level. ROC has been divergent and this looks like capitulation to me. I've been wrong before, be careful out there in the trenches!

The employment cost index, a barometer the Federal Reserve watches closely for inflation signs, increased 1% in the October-to-December period, the Labor Department reported Tuesday. That was a bit below the 1.1% Dow Jones estimate and less the 1.2% reading in the third quarter. It also was the lowest quarterly gain in a year.

Fed officials consider the ECI an important inflation gauge because it adjusts for occupations that are in higher demand and for outsized wage gains in particular industries, such as those that were most affected by the pandemic.
The Q4 reading comes the same day the interest rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee begins its two-day policy meeting. Markets have assigned a near-certainty to the FOMC approving a 0.25 percentage point rate hike before it adjourns Wednesday.
But the greater focus will be on what officials signal about the future of monetary policy.
Markets are anticipating one more quarter-point hike in March, followed by a pause and then one or two cuts before the end of the year. Fed officials have pushed back on the notion of any policy easing in 2023, though they could change their minds if inflation readings continue to abate.
"The Fed is still likely to keep raising interest rates at the next couple of meetings, but we expect a further slowdown in wage growth over the coming months to convince officials to pause the tightening cycle after the March meeting," wrote Andrew Hunter, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics.
