This is beautiful. Like something out of a Tim Burton... Only real this time. Genius.

PAGAN 9JA:


so are you telling me Mukina2 waited for 5 days after I create the thread to see who will post again with better write-up

That dont make sense.


THis is just discrimination against Traditionalists.

and my write-up has more info. I even posted the pic of the bat properly (upside-down).

While l dont buy your "spiritual orientation" one bit the truth is that what happened to your post is a reflection of the[b] "double standard and cronyism" that bedevils our daily lives as Nigerians![/b]

Man-knows-Man, no be today e start!
"MERIT and FAIRNESS" just got deleted from their dictionary.

Very very reprehensibly-disgraceful way of decision-making!

I urge you to take heart and be strong.

Lastpage!

Abeg which position I be for comment?

Story! The lake no dey within a region or an area? Make him mention the name naa. He should back up his claims with sufficient proof. Abeg, make the guy go park well joor.

This is a plausible explanation for the Lot's wife story in the bible. Perhaps they all knew about the lake and warned her not to go there but she insisted and this turned into "salt."

And Tanzania is close to the Middle East area.

Oga, so because Tanzania is in east africa, it is close to the middle east abi? Well, you are wrong. Next time consult an Atlas first.

This post is actually misleading. The lake doesn't turn people to stone, but it makes objects in photographs look like stone.

Emmyk: Okay. What about humans? Will it turn them to stones likewise?

good question.

passionate88: Lake Medusa

Those animals were long dead before the photographer positioned them in way to confuse mumu people that they were instantly petrified on first touch. Just like some people believed acid rain falls instantly n strips off flesh

Heya! Sorry, na so life be. Azonto originates from one country but was brought to popularity by another country.

Actually it was made for Commercial

is this supposed to be a twighlight zone or what ... sounds like folktales that i used to heqar wen i was a kid

Bossforeva: Any Man that kills his fellow human being is an animal.
I just pray that one day all the boko haram members will drown inside this lake and just as lot's wife looked back and became a pillar of salt, they themselves will come out a pillar of bricks and stones, that their may be abundant stones for the work of rebuilding all they have destroyed. What Else?

i believe the author said it turns whatever touches it to stone, so how will the BH boys drown?

I will like if ASUU fall inside this lake.

I didn't call any person particularly.

Ok

BizBooks: While these pictures are real, the photographer has admitted that they were all posed.
This means that the birds did not die while perched on tree limbs. The photographer
picked them up and placed them there. If you look at the picture of the bat, you will
notice something un-usual. Bats hang upside down not the way it is shown in that picture.

Take a good look @ d skyline and landscape behind d bat n you'lld realise d picture is inverted to aid proper viewing.

[b][/b]ASUU chairman supose dey dia sha!!!

Those animals shouldn't have looked back..

Abeg, make ASUU and fG go negotiate for dat lake

The Deadly Lake…
There’s a deceptively still body of water in Tanzania with a deadly secret…

…that Stonifies!
It turns any animal it touches to stone.

Truth Behind the Lake
The rare phenomenon is caused by the chemical makeup of the lake.

The Chemical Composition
The creatures pepper the area around the lake due to its constant pH of 9 to 10.5 — an extremely basic alkalinity that preserves these creatures for eternity.
Seems Like a Horror Story!
The petrified creatures it leaves behind seem straight out of a horror film.

There’s a deceptively still body of water in Tanzania with a deadly secret — it turns any animal it touches to stone. The rare phenomenon is caused by the chemical makeup of the lake, but the petrified creatures it leaves behind are straight out of a horror film.

Photographed by Nick Brandt in his new book, Across the Ravaged Land, petrified creatures pepper the area around the lake due to its constant pH of 9 to 10.5 — an extremely basic alkalinity that preserves these creatures for eternity.

According to Brandt:

I unexpectedly found the creatures — all manner of birds and bats — washed up along the shoreline of Lake Natron in Northern Tanzania. No-one knows for certain exactly how they die, but it appears that the extreme reflective nature of the lake’s surface confuses them, and like birds crashing into plate glass windows, they crash into the lake. The water has an extremely high soda and salt content, so high that it would strip the ink off my Kodak film boxes within a few seconds. The soda and salt causes the creatures to calcify, perfectly preserved, as they dry.

I took these creatures as I found them on the shoreline, and then placed them in ‘living’ positions, bringing them back to ‘life’, as it were. Reanimated, alive again in death.

Howz a pH range of 9-10.5 'an extremely basic alkalinity that preserves creatures for eternity'?? OP, i know so many microbes that would dance etighi in such pH media
