Well, now here is an interesting article that popped up in my Facebook feed. Look at that title.. Claims of MILLIONS of years old.. Yet, not once in the article does it say any locations or any real details of the find.

Now the fake article does reference the underground cities of Turkey. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/03/150325-underground-city-cappadocia-turkey-archaeology/ But those date to the Byzantine empire, not hundreds of thousands, or millions of years ago.

I have to wonder how such nonsense gets started. I mean if the tunnels were that old, that would mean some pre human would have built it, like Australopithecus..

Edit. Here is more from that same fake Doctor. Claims these ruts, which clearly are made by erosion via streaming water, is Ancient Tanks from 14million years ago.. Its science denying shit like this that makes all the sasquatch/alien shit hard to stomach.

Nice quote, but not sure the relevance..

We are at some sort of turning point mate -- all governments now are employing media manipulation and propaganda at levels never seen before. Freedom of the media is a total illusion now. Truly is so strange times we are living in now. Don't you get a sense of this also?

Well yea I do. But how does that relate to the fake science that is permeating? I mean just look at the CT thread and tell me any of that is legit?
 
Yeah totally a 'scientist' out to create headlines and get 'clicks' in a publish or perish academic era

So is that agreement with me, or are you disagreeing. I see lots of words but they are not ordered in a clear and concise fashion.

Yes, I agree with you completely -- this fake scientist is only trying to attract attention with extraordinary false claims. The article offers no scientific evidence such as carbon dating, references to other universities which would offer verification of findings -- all things that would be absolutely necessary for publishing in credible, peer-reviewed academic journals. If he had any of this evidence or academic peer backing, he should be proud to present it in his article.

In other words, it's total rubbish, mate.
