It's a web site that claims a knife made in the last century is embedded in a rock that took a lot longer to form around it than the 45 yrs. maximum time frame allowed. I don't see any \"credible\" scientists offering documented proof of the rocks age, or the knife's age, or anything else. Just this guy's claims. Could be interesting. Maybe he has something that could prove that somehow a knife from the 1900's was somehow transported to however long it took for the rock to form. I don't know. Hard to believe anything you see on the net, especially when the guy is planning on offering up the artifiact to \"the highest bidder\". Money is his motivation. Does he have some independent team of scientists who've studied the artifact, and can offer carbon dating (or whatever the current aging technique) of the rock? How about a certification from someone as to the age of the knife, or the possible years of its manufacture? You know credible, scientific, certified evidence, rather than some guy with a site claiming all of the above. Not proof to me, but interesting. I'm not saying is all BS. It could be a find of immense proportion. But it's just a claim at this point.
