The Pangaea Theory is one that states that all the present continents were once together and collectivly known as a "supercontinent" called Pangaea.The word Pangaea means "all lands" in Greek and this single land mass existed 200-300 million years ago.The Pangea Theory was met with much skepticsm. Since then, there has been much evidence to support this theory If we look at the continental coastline we can see they fit together like a jigsaw puzzel and this lends support to the theory. Matching fossils of reptiles have been found in Africa and South America to include North America and North west Africa proving that these continents were once joined. Identical fossil ferns and plants embedded in the same layer sequence, have been found in all southern continents, suggesting the proximity of the continents were in millions of years ago allowing the growing of these plants and ferns in the same climate and soil. The geological structure and the age of the rocks in South West Africa and South East Brazil are distinctly identical. Coal can be found under the cold and dry Antartic ice cap. It can only form in warm, wet conditions suggesting that the Antartica was once joined with the other continents that formed the Pangaea and was in a warm and humid location.
WE NOW HAVE THE SAME TYPE PALEOLITHIC ARTIFACTS FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT AS THOSE OF EUROPE.
The out-of-place footprints go back even further in geologic time
. The American Anthropologist, volume IX (1896), page 66, describes the finding of a perfect human imprint in stone about 4 miles north of Parkersburg, on the West Virginia side of the Ohio river. The track was 14 1/2 inches long, and was found embedded in a large stone.
Though few specifics were given, one expert has calculated from the type of rock depicted, and its position on the river's edge, that the track must be at least 150 million years old, according to modern geologic dating.

BELL FOUND INSIDE OF COAL
BELL FOUND INSIDE OF COAL
The Bell in the photo above was also found in West Virginia in 1944 inside a lump of COAL by Mr.Newton Anderson.
THE COAL COMES FROM THE SAME ALLEGHENY,KANAWHA,NEW RIVER FORMATION DATED IN THE PENNSYLVANIA PERIOD 286-360 MILLION YEARS OLD
THE PETRIFIED WOOD ARTIFACTS IN THIS PANGEA COLLECTION ALSO DATE FROM THE PENNSYLVANIA PERIOD. HUMAN BONES FOUND BY ED CONRAD ALSO COME FROM THIS SAME ERA.
Look very carefully
Notice that the right side of the Head of the Bell image found inside a lump of coal in 1944 only 115 miles away is from the same coal period as the petrified wood artifacts in the Pangea collection. IT HOLDS A STRONG LIKENESS TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE METAL COLLECTION HEAD
The collection head is in more of the negative form of art and is made up of many smaller symbols.
The Bell is in the same form of NEGATIVE TYPE ART

Giants in our Midst? Tall Skeletons Reported Found in Marion County, WV
One of the many archaeological mysteries from this area was the reported finding of giant prehistoric human skeletons.
"On the earth there once were giants." Greek poet Homer wrote in 400 B.C.
Of the many archaeological mysteries, one of the most enigmatic has been discoveries of giant prehistoric human skeletons.
Marion County was home to part of the ancient civilization which historical accounts and artifacts indicate existed in this region - a culture with many clues and questions concerning its existence. What mysterious people constructed earthen forts, burial mounds, macadamized roadways? Who left pictographs, inscribed stones and giant skeletons lo be discovered?
In the 1850s while excavating a root cellar in Palatine (East Fairmont), workers uncovered two very large human skeletons. Measuring the bones, people were amazed to find the entombed humans had been more than 7 feet tall.
Many curious onlookers observed the skeletons which mysteriously disappeared overnight, apparently stolen for greedy purpose. A lucrative market in "Indian relics" existed in the early I9th century. Artifacts from all over Marion County were sold to travelers and purchasing agents representing Eastern museums.
It was reported that hundreds of ancient pieces of pottery, flint weapons, stone carvings and skeletons were peddled at the Valley Falls railroad station. Some of the finest specimens were purchased by visiting German royalty and taken to Europe as curios.
In 1875 workmen were constructing a bridge near the mouth of Paw Paw Creek at Rivesville. While digging through heavy clay soil they were astonished to uncover three giant skeletons strands of reddish hair clinging to the skulls. A local doctor was called to examine the remains.
Exposure to air deteriorated the bones rapidly to but the doctor was able ascertain after careful measurement, the skeletons had supported people approximately 8 feet tall.
In September 1882 amateur archaeologist F.M. Fetty and his wife were exploring along White Day Creek. As Mr. Fetty crawled back into the recesses of an over-hanging cliff shelter he noticed an unusual pattern in the rock formation.
Upon close examination a false wall was discovered in the back of the shallow cave. Removing several large stones the Fettys were startled by what they found. The remains of a giant human in a sitting position with artifacts of stone and flint surrounding the prehistoric cadaver.
In the summer of 1883 James A. Faulkner unearthed an unusually large human skeleton in the same area. Dr. Samuel Kramer of Smithtown measured this skeleton and found it to be 7 feet 4 inches long. Dr. Kramer deduced the living person must have been almost 8 feet tall.
There have been historical references to a mystic race of giant red-haired humans inhabiting this continent in the distant past. Respected Biblical scholars think a lost tribe from Israel once lived in North America. Evidence exists of 5th-century Irish monks exploring West Virginia. Many questions remain to be answered.
Everyone loves a mystery and these giant skeletons reported by reputable people would make Sherlock Holmes scratch his head. This is another intriguing story of Marion County's past that will forever be unexplained.

READ THE FACTS ABOUT THE HUMAN BONES ED HAS FOUND IN COAL
THE COAL IS FROM THE SAME PENNSYLVAINIAN PERIOD AS THE BELL AND THE MANY ARTIFACTS OF PETRIFIED WOOD, METAL AND STONE IN THE PANGEA COLLECTION.
In West Virginia there are a number of wall-like structures that run north and south for about three miles on a lofty summit in a barren environment. The Mount Carbon Stone Walls, as they are known, are similar in their slab-like construction to those found near Apishapa River Canyon, Colorado, though not as complex or consistent in form. There are several mounds, even one shaped like a turtle, in the center of the complex made from both earth and rock fabrication. There are also some flint quartz rocks of considerable size incorporated into the structure that must have been brought up this 2,300-foot peak, since none occurs naturally at this level. In addition, evidence of worked flint instruments has been found near the mounds.

The eye of the Pterosaur or Bat is the same symbol that is in the Pangea collection.
The smallest artifact (2in.) at one time was completely round but has broken off because of mineralization and old age.
It has a Crocodile wrapped around the hole and the parts sticking up are the front leg and back leg these are not water wheels but artifacts

THE STONE HEAD
THE STONE HEAD STORY:
A remote wooded area near Maben,West Virginia,yielded an expertly carved human face looking out of a pinkish sandstone matrix, approximately life size ( the sandstone is native to the area).An article published in The West Virginia Advocate brought no answers or information as to it's origin. We wrote to the Smithsonian Institution asking for their input. Richard E. Ahlborn, curator, replied (10/9/84): "I am uninformed about the stone face. Several times a year we receive inquires about anthromorphic representations that do not appear to relate to a known artistic style or 'school'. They seem to be naive or idiosyncratic works of individual energy, but seldom suggest a specific cultural, ethnic, or historical context. This example suggest, however, someone with training. The European proportions, bone structure and suggestive power of the face may result from an emigrant stone carver who turned to mining. My 'sense' of it's style and carving technique would lead me to 'date' it between 1800-1925 The discoverer said he broke it away from a boulder displaced by stripmining .But it's origin is unknown-who took the time to create this intriguing artifact that we call THE STONE HEAD.
The Grave Creek Stone was discovered in 1838 during the excavation of the Grave Creek Mound, in Moundsville West Virginia.
The symbols on the stone have not been positively deciphered

THE GRAVE CREEK STONE
THE PUNCH JONES DIAMOND The diamond was found in a tributary of The Ancient Teays River (New River); The second oldest river in the World. The bluish white diamond weighed 34.48 carats.It was the largest alluvial diamond ever discovered in the United States.It was discovered in April 1928 while pithing horse shoes.
At 34.46 carats, it was the largest known North American diamond; the Smithsonian Institution displayed it. Shortly after, Punch joined the U.S. Army and was promptly killed in combat in Germany. Afterward his mother grew sick of hearing about the famous "Punch Jones Diamond." "I wish they'd a threw it in the New River sometimes," she said. In the 1960s the family asked the Smithsonian to return the stone, then stored it in a safe-deposit box at First Valley National Bank. In 1984, Sotheby's of New York sold it for them to an anonymous investor in Asia.

THE MOTHMAN STORY!!
I remember the Mothman story very well. I was 13 years old and I lived in Charleston WV and there were many sightings.It was a scary time to walk to the neighborhood store at night. Every shadow and wind blown tree would bring thoughts of THE MOTHMAN.The Mothman sightings occurred from Nov.1966 to Dec.1967 most in Point Pleasant,Mason County WV where the bridge collapsed and some sightings in Charleston WV in the Kanawha Valley where these artifacts were collected..CLICK PHOTOS BELOW!
