The 500,000-Year-Old Spark Plug: The Artifact That Proves Pre-Flood Industrialization?
In my work investigating the secret history of the world, I've learned one crucial lesson: our official timeline is fragile. It’s a story we tell ourselves, built on a carefully curated set of "acceptable" facts. Anything that doesn't fit is labeled a hoax, a misidentification, or is simply… lost.
