BIZARRE FOSSILIZED REMAINS DISCOVERED IN IRAN

IT SEEMS WE WERE ALL THE VICTIMS OF A GLOBAL HOAX FOR AWHILE!

Dutchman Casper Shilling's website largely reflects his archaeological work carried out while in Iran. In particular it covers a number of digs he has conducted in and around the ancient city of Bam, where on Dec 26 2003 an earthquake killed 26 thousand of its inhabitants.

The archaeologist, whose expertise is more an offshoot of paleontology, writes that while there in May 2004 he was told of the "bizarre fossilized remains of some unknown creature", discovered by a boy grazing sheep in a rocky and desolate area of the Jebal-Barez Mountains.

He continues: "What I found was clearly organic, not to mention extremely large. I believe the skeleton was partially unveiled following the earthquake, otherwise it would have been discovered previously. You can see in the photograph the immense size of the creature's ribs and vertebrae in comparison with my small figure, and this is just a small section of the fossil, which stretches a great distance in either direction (possibly hundreds of feet long total).

"I am standing close to what I believe to be the head of the creature, with the rib cage extending dozens of feet beyond the photograph and into the bare rock. I cannot even begin to speculate on the size of this creature.

"I will need to return with more equipment and certainly others better versed with this type of find. At this point, these are but simple deductions until further tests can be done."

In an August 26 2004 update, Casper remarks: "I will say the apparent section I am working on is a ribcage. Extending from the ribs are multiple sets of bilateral appendages (the 'arms') that appear to be the fins of an enormous whale."

He also makes this interesting observation: "However, with a colossus of such size, and such a massive 'wingspan' - if they indeed are wings - would have made its flying capability close to supernatural."

In a recent web entry update, Casper Shilling has some revealing new theories about the puzzling fossilized remains and now contemplates that the animal might possibly have been reptilian in nature.

"It is considerably larger than any dinosaur I can think of. But is it a dinosaur? Despite my limited knowledge in that area of inquiry, it seems unlikely, for a variety of reasons - but primarily, the condition of the bones suggests a fossil much younger than the Cretaceous Era. It is, based on my understanding of human skeletal remains, possibly even contemporaneous with humans, or at any rate, early hominids. And yet, that is impossible."

He adds: "Unfortunately, proper carbon dating will have to wait - the local government is notoriously shy about allowing any historical or archaeological material out of country for any reason."
