4. How crazy is that? Wow, unbelievable!
5. I have never seen anything like that.
6. Yeah, these look familiar.
The Appalachian mountains are so old. These mountains were formed hundreds of millions of years ago, they have witnessed half a billion years of life coming and going. They are older than even dinosaurs, this information is not only insane but also very enlightening for our brains. But let me tell one more fact even more crazy than this. It is true these mountains are older than dinosaurs but exactly how much old? Not just a couple of years or a decade old. There is a cave there that began forming between 450 million to 550 million years ago and it is said that there are no bones or any type of fossils found in that cave. Weird, right? That is because that specific cave began forming before bones existed on that land. Basically, it existed in the ocean and it was before even shellfish began evolving. We know that limestone forms many caves and at that time it was becoming a more widespread rock. In conclusion, these mountains are not older than dinosaurs, they are actually older than bones. Unfortunately, the Appalachians are eroding as time passes. They are shrinking and returning back to the earth slowly, where they originally sprang from. Sadly, not many people are aware of the magnificence of these historic mountains and how glorious they are. We should spread the word and appreciate the Appalachian mountains while they are still here. Keep scrolling down, we have some more amazing facts to share with you…
