    This site mostly has articles that creatively rearrange parts of facts and sprinke sciency terminology to make incredible claims.

    A retired physicist having a thought experiment on prehistoric remains years ago in a different context, plus some rando claiming these are man-made structures, becomes: “another hypothesis is that it was constructed by prehistoric human civilization (like described in the Silurian Hypothesis by NASA scientists)”

    Some scientists and theorists believe that the reactor is extremely advanced, suggesting that highly intelligent beings existed 2 billion years ago. While another hypothesis is that it was constructed by prehistoric human civilization (like described in the Silurian Hypothesis by NASA scientists) using techniques that were lost to subsequent humans.

    However, most of the mainstream researchers believe that Oklo is the world’s only identified naturally occurring reactor which was created by accident. As scientists Norman Schwers and John A. Miller from Sandia National Laboratories explain in a 2017 paper, the concept of a naturally occurring reactor was originally documented in 1956 using reactor theory or the infinite multiplication constants.

        considering other articles linked on the website apparently include “the Case of the 2 Miners that met the Ctones” (which seems to be some kind of advanced civilization that lives under ground… that kept him from leaving for 5 years, but then paid him diamonds and let him go or something…) and “100,000 year old electrical connector found embedded in stone”… (Aliens!)

        I’m gonna go with a great example of “bullshit”.

    A 3 day old account that only posts clickbait links to 2 domains, n24hr.com and sciinsider.com – I wonder if there’s any connection.
