Looking at ice through a microscope, scientists can uncover ancient history. This is exactly what happened when a group studied samples taken from the ice of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Deep within the mountain’s eons-old ice, they found evidence supporting something straight from the Bible’s Book of Genesis. And what they found stunned scientists everywhere.
With modern technology, scientists are able to drill into the ice cores of glaciers and ice sheets, extracting samples that are up to 800,000 years old!
This is how a group of scientists was able to find remnants of what they believed was evidence supporting something dating back to biblical times.
Over time, ice forms layers, freezing each layer beneath it with its own special history– climate, fossil records, and even water samples that might have been frozen in a bubble.
Everything is sitting there, waiting for scientists to find, extract, and study. But no one expected to discover what they found in the ice of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Because of this, ice cores can hold the key to long-lost history. Even history that people once thought was based on fiction.
But just by drilling into Mount Kilimanjaro, scientists proved that some stories, namely some aspects of the Book of Genesis, might have actually happened, and can be proven.
