What have they done to the forest?

I was looking at google earth for something and found this:

19°09'00.0"N 29°10'48.0"E





The whole area looks like an atomic bomb or something went off and wiped the area clean for miles.

I was working in the Buxton Maine area 2 years ago and saw a lot of logging going on. I guess the price of lumber was high and lots of property owners were selling their trees.

Cant really tell a lot about it, the center one looks like some crawler tracks but there's really no scale, but yes, they are destroying this planet from North to South, East to West, there and back again.

Were we to have no other hope there is no way this planet would survive long enough to get a single human being to another livable location, not even for a short time

Idk about that.. but the picture below is 100% post nuclear annihilation. Not too shabby.

Hiroshima.

I can't tell anything by looking at the second and third pictures, but the first looks an awful lot like a smaller version of The Richat Structure which is on the opposite side of the same continent. If you look at the region there are similar geological features all over the region. Probably something like an ancient lakebed. Referring to the one pictured and others spread across the region, not the The Richat Structure.

Watch the Amazon Rain Forest for a while, as it rapidly disappears. It supplies a major portion of earth's oxygen and when it's gone our air is not far behind it

Thanks, I never heard of it.

Thanks, I never heard of it.

Also known as The Eye of the Sahara if you've ever heard of that.

Also known as The Eye of the Sahara if you've ever heard of that.

Some hypothesize that the Eye of the Sahara is the lost city of Atlantis. There some arguments comparing what the city was supposed to have looked like and the rings of the Eye that make sense. Whether they are right or not may be another story.

Supposedly, the Sahara was a lush green area with rivers running through a good portion of as well.

That's what they say, but the Richat Structure itself is a nautral geological formation.

With it's unique features, it's not much of a stretch to think that some ancient civilization made it's home on or near it. If it did, then what ever destroyed it did a better job than those bombs did on Hiroshima.

Part of the theory is that the way the ground is streaked around that area that there was a massive wash of water over the area. As in a global flood event. This was deduced from satellite photos.

To dig further down the rabbit hole, it is believed that the continents were one large land mass before the great flood and the seismic activity from the continental movement as they separated caused the flood.

Current modern science does say there was once a large single continent (Pangea I think it was called). I suppose there could, stress on the could, be some credence to it. But it is a rabbit hole and not accepted science as far as the timing goes. But looking at how loose with the truth that “the science” has been on other things, the theory could be correct or it could be a load of crap. File it away as interesting information or file it in the round file as you will.

The "FlatEarth" theory is interesting; still looking for that edge;
can you go there & look over the railing like at the GrandCanyon?
Probably charge an entry fee at the gate; CheapBas'ard I am, I'd likely turn around & go elsewhere.

Back to the original topic, I've read that New England is more wooded now than it was in 1800 when everyone farmed. If you walk around in the woods you often see stone walls that were built with the stone they cleared so they could farm the land. I built on land that's been in my family since before the Civil War and there are stone walls everywhere. In 1987 when I started clearing to build, I couldn't find the area where my grandfather had cleared all the boulders with his bulldozer because it was so overgrown. When I was a kid cows grazed her among the rocks and maple trees.
On of my former techs had worked as a logger for years, his bumper sticker said "If you don't like logging, try using plastic toilet paper". That puts it in perspective.

I’ve read similar for much of the U.S. The country is more wooded now that it was back during Colonial times. I have no way to verify that but it might make sense since there is more big farms than small family ones. The country was much more agricultural then compared to now.

Interesting for sure but I’m having a very hard time wrapping my head around how it would even work or be possible.
