Find Along Chilean Highway Suggests Ancient Mass Stranding of Whales

sciencehabit writes "In 2010, workers widening a remote stretch of highway near the northwestern coast of Chile uncovered a trove of fossils, including the skeletons of at least 30 large baleen whales. The fossils—which may be up to 9 million years old—are the first definitive examples of ancient mass strandings of whales, according to a new study. The work also fingers a possible culprit."

There was no large scale industry or agriculture using vast quantities or fertilizer in Chile 10-15 thousand years ago, so there couldn't have been algae blooms. Algae blooms are the exclusive fault of white anglo capitalists and those hadn't been invented yet.

No, the US Navy of course. This discovery pushes the first use of sonar back several million years.

Not to mention the invention of the United States.

Didn't you know that the United States has existed since the dawn of time, ruled by white people? Modern revisionists want to claim that them thar injuns is "native Americans", but we all know the truth....

Incidentally, the whales were presumably stranded when the Great Flood subsided. The Mountains of Ararat must therefore be in the Americas. That's how white men got there, see?
