This guy got it wrong. In the prophet business, you want to pick a subject that can't be so easily verified.

Hard Science and a hard sell. The hardest sell is to other people educated in the subject, to your peers. Culture seems more like the playground for ideas - where they roam free. I don't know if i'd consider the metaphor of selling science to be very good, culture is a marketplace and in this metaphor no product ever wins over the whole marketplace, be it true or not.

This is all really a lot more amazing than it already is because if the descriptive is accurate, it represents a death event so sudden that the primaries were buried for preservation in a split second.
I mean, seriously, to catch that snake coiled around an egg and another one in the process of hatching and then, to seal this moment in time? That last second must have been, literally, not much more than a second or the snake would have been hauling ass away for some shelter.
This is, in a way, what it would be like to excavate a modern scene from some point in the future, and dig up some guy who was in the middle of gnawing down a Big Mac while his wife was changing a diaper on the youngun.
No warning... just The End, period. History under glass.
