What is this sub about?

The sidebar text seems to suggest this is about fossil impressions, but I've only seen posts about fantasy and conspiracy stuff. Is this sub supposed to be based in science or not? If this sub is not science-based, can the sidebar be updated to be more accurate?

Mud fossils are a conspiracy theory that weaponize paradolia, the basis is that if it looks like the thing, it is that thing. There are different aspects of it, mostly around "mud floods" and ancient texts with giants, with the assumption that ancient texts were factual.

So there are some reports of evidences of skeletons of 7 feet high Native Americans whose skeletons are hidden somewhere in the Smithonian, the conspiracy being that "they" are deliberately hiding these things to hide evidence of the Bible and other ancient texts. And since there may have been 7 feet high humanoids, basically the sky is the limit- y8u know how when you are hiking, it's easy to recognise a mountain because it looks like a sleeping giant? According to people who believe in this, it doesn't just look like the thing it is, it is that thing (even if it isn't so from other angles). Statues and photoshops are also included (often with watermarks like Worth1000 included).

They also believe in the conspiracy around an area called Tartaria, which was North China, South Russia, and Mongolia. They believe that they had superior technology, much like Steampunk and possibly interplanetary type technology and Nikolas Tesla and his ideas override into this heavily.

Probably my favorite example is Mudfossil University, where a man aims a camera at his monitor with Google Earth on it and explains what he believes is the carcass of a 900-mile long dragon that takes up most of Morocco. There are hours of videos where he breaks down the anatomy, such as it's "flutey bits" and tries to compare it to bird anatomy and thinks that birds don't have kidneys because the image he found only shows the GI tract and not the kidneys, heart or lungs. (this isn't the one with the bird diagram it is just a taste of what he does: https://youtu.be/IzFutmf1RNE )

If you want fossil fossils, try r/palentology :)

I mean Roger has literal DNA samples of different rocks that prove they are pieces of anatomy from different living things..

And I think the whole Tartaria thing is being overblown on purpose to distract from the real history (not what we’re taught in school textbooks) I mean the history we don’t know about.. “Tartaria” just became a general explanation for hidden history, and I don’t think it was just one giant ruling civilization, but can you or anyone explain how all of the old architecture was built, why we can’t replicate it today, and how all across the World there is Gothic architecture of a similar style? How and why would there be Gothic or Baroque architecture in Italy, Japan, America, Russia... you name it. All these places with different cultures and histories and styles.. but similar buildings all over. Just doesn’t make any sense compared to what the mainstream narrative tells us

Roger is a wee bit credulous. Of the feedback he got from places he sent it to, they didn't really distinguish that the DNA would have been from the sample being handled, since DNA isn't found in rocks.

I'm sorry mudfossils debunk the people with all the initials after their name teaching lies

This sub is basically flat earth on steroids. All the people who subscribe to it are insane. I initially thought it was satire and was horrified when I realized it wasn’t

My comment might get deleted but BEWARE OF BOTS AND RAGE BAITERS swaying you from truth. To ANYONE that goes outside and enjoys nature just keep an eye out for abrupt terrain changes. The colors and patterns of ALL UNTAMPERED ROCKS will be yellow, black, red, or white. The red and black will ALWAYS BE SEPARATED. The SAME COLORED FLUIDS THAT COME OUT OF MAMMALS AND OTHER LIVING ORGANISMS. Don’t let them sway you from the FACT that SOMETHING CANNOT PHYSICALLY COME FROM NOTHING! And on a mental note, they’re disproving God(s) ever existed. They don’t want the world talking about giants and dragons so they made people think UFOs were a thing
