"The Suicide of Saul was painted in 1562 by the Netherlandish Renaissance artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Do you notice anything weird about it?" Someone makes an edit, see pic related. One savvy poster then points to the camel-like creatures being ridden by the figures emerging from the water just below the mountain with the buildings in the background and cites Marco Polo to claim they are dinosaurs/dragons: > "Leaving the city of Yachi, and traveling ten days in a westerly direction, you reach the province of Karazan, which is also the name of the chief city….Here are seen huge serpents, ten paces in length (about 30 feet), and ten spans (about 8 feet) girth of the body. At the fore part, near the head, they have two short legs, having three claws like those of a tiger, with eyes larger than a forepenny loaf (pane da quattro denari) and very glaring." > The jaws are wide enough to swallow a man, the teeth are large and sharp, and their whole appearance is so formidable, that neither man, nor any kind of animal can approach them without terror. Others are met with of a smaller size, being eight, six, or 5 paces long; and the following method is used for taking them. In the day-time, by reason of great heat, they lurk in caverns, from whence, at night, they issue to seek their food, and whatever beast they meet with and can lay hold of, whether tiger, wolf, or any other, they devour; But someone else says they're just poorly drawn camels. And a third poster cites "The Life of Apollonius of Tyana" by Philostratus (40-120 CE) which speaks of dragons in India. That's covered in another thread. Flat Earth. Lots of boomers who can't format their posts right and are likely sourcing their images from Facebook. One of them even copies what appear to be tweets verbatim. At the end, in a banal but down-to-Earth twist, a poster claims he's been to the shores of Antartica on a cruise and personally saw the midnight Sun. Atlantis. A Chilean rambles on about ancient Aryans. Someone makes an interesting point about how the Richat structure ("eye of the Sahara") looks similar to ancient descriptions of Atlantis if its lower elevations were filled with water, but then shoots himself in the foot by claiming sea levels were higher in the last Ice Age and that this somehow translates to the water level of inland seas. Freemasons. Some posters share their banal and unrevealing experiences on the subject. One of the first posts says they're just a seekrit club with no mysticism like some imageboards. Near the end, P2 (powerful Cold War Italian lodge) is mentioned and an Argentine says Péron was a member. OP claims he and his father went spook-hunting on a graveyard and got a picture showing dimly lit amorphous shapes in the tombs, in which his father allegedly could see a child but he couldn't. This boring image somehow caught the attention of other regulars and got a lot of replies. Greentext thread. Lots of /k/ screencaps I've seen before. The board sometimes hosts cool content but it's buried among boomers (at least they're a minority in the userbase) and bland threads. >>/23478/ They wouldn't be on the board if all they felt was hate. At the very least, they have an active interest in the subject. Those people found something of value in Sam's work and that's what kept them interested.
