The Colorado Pavement
Sometime people really do find things right in their own back yard. In 1936 a man named Tom
Kenny was digging a vegetable cellar on his property in Plateau Valley on the Western slopes of
the Rocky Mountains in Colorado when his progress was suddenly halted when his pick struck a
slab of stone at a depth of about 10 feet. Further digging revealed a smooth and level pavement
made of 5 inch square, handmade tiles that had been laid with mortar. Analysis of the mortar also
revealed it to be of a different chemical composition to anything that can be found locally, further
adding to the mystery.
Scientists cannot fathom the mystery of the pavement and can only agree that it is between
20,000 and 80,000 years old. The problem again is that the pavement was found in the same
geological era as the 3 toed the Miocene horse which reputedly roamed the area from around 6 to
30 million years ago. Oops! The pavement still exists on the Kenny property today.
The Kentucky Pavement
In another discovery extraordinary similar to the pavement discovered on Tom Kenny’s
property in Colorado was made by workmen digging at Blue Springs Kentucky. At first the men
discovered the bones a mastodon at a depth of around 12 feet, however after further digging, 3
feet deeper they uncovered a broad stone pavement of totally unknown origin that was
constructed of large, neatly cut stone slabs resembling a road of some kind.
Who could have paved a road through the Rocky Mountains so long ago that it now lies 15 feet
below the ground?
A Fruit that Really should not Exist
I’ve included this last little tid-bit in the riddles section simply because I think it’s interesting
and just because it may give you something to think about in your everyday life, something that
really is most strange.
Most people are completely unaware of this fact but there is a fruit that is eaten by millions of
people all around the world everyday that is quite remarkable and in all reality, simply shouldn’t
exist. I’m talking of course, about the banana. Bananas are actually the most mysterious fruit in
the world because bananas have no seeds and what makes this even more mysterious is the fact
that they are found in almost every country in the world.
Now that may not sound so odd at first but let me fully explain this enigma to you:
Firstly, banana plants are not trees; they are actually a perennial herb. The trunk of the plant is
really nothing more than the plants outer leaves. The real stem of the plant doesn’t actually
become visible until it pushes out through the top to produce the large purple flower that will
eventually develop into the fruit. Then, having finished its perennial reproductive cycle, the plant
dies. The problem here, is that in the reproductive cycle of the banana, seeds are completely
absent from the mature fruit! A new ‘seedling’ (known as a ‘sucker’) can only ever be generated
from a piece of the plants rootstock and yet bananas are found in almost most every place on
earth, even on quite remote and isolated islands.
How in the world did they all get there?
The seeds certainly weren’t carried across the oceans by prevailing winds. To fully appreciate
this anomaly first consider that the only other seedless plants that exist anywhere in the world are
things like seedless grapes, naval oranges and the many genetically modified varieties of
commercial vegetables that can now be purchased, the point is, any other seedless plants that
exist, anywhere in the world, are all that way because they have genetically modified!
And yet here we have the humble banana, which is also the only food in existence that contains
exactly the correct requirements of vitamins and minerals for mans metabolism completely. It is
the only food that man can live on healthily, by itself, with complete nutrition, it is found all over
the world and yet we have no knowledge of how it could possibly have come into being. It seems
