This is some heavy gatekeeping right here. I don't think it's been disproven, another theory has been presented. There is other evidence that suggests petrification isn't a process of centuries. But what would someone with a closed mind like you know about that anyway.

Then post that evidence and I'd be more than happy to look at it. But please don't have it be something so easily disproven.

You didn't easily disprove it. You incorrectly assumed and were corrected based on your own source lol

As for the validity of the claims made in your source, that's entirely debatable.

In case you missed it

Those are actually both really cool, never heard of them before.

The lake: the animals aren't actually turning the stone, it's a process more similar to salting or mummification. The photographer who took all those pictures is a man by thr name of Nick Brandt who found carcasses washed up and positioned them, something he wouldn't be able to do if they were actually stone.

The well: that actually is a potential precursor step to petrification, especially when they describe how the teddy bear is totally saturated with thr mineral build up. That being said, 'petrification' is the actual replacement of component molecules with minerals which doesn't appear to be happening here (ie, the bike is still a bike, just covered in stone, not a bike that has turned to stone if that makes sense). That said, this would probably be one of the places where petrification would happen thr fastest.

I will say though, these are both definitely a lot cooler than the original post.

Gatekeeping is a good thing and he has a point, your post is "mountains are giant ancient trees durrr" level of stupid. It's basically accidental well poisoning. The sub is Strange, not Stupid.

Go fuck yourselves. I asked a question, had people wrongfully assume it was mud. An article that claims it was tanks covered in cement and acknowledgement that the tanks in the photos have been "restored" do you also believe in the holocaust or something?

Do you also think everyone who isn't a nudist is secretly a clothes golem, because they're covered in clothes?
