Elephants Were
Abducted by Space
Aliens,
Says Fossil Evidence
It would be quite amazing to see a marsupial or a monkey
gripping a log and crossing the ocean on it, but it would be
utterly unthinkable to see an elephant or a giant ground sloth
doing the same thing.
In the mid-Cenozoic, Africa and Arabia were moving
north together, slowly closing the ancient Tethys Sea.
Eventually, this northward drift caused Africa and Arabia to
join with Asia. The fusion of these continents split the Tethys
Sea into the current day Mediterranean Sea and Persian
Gulf. The time of this event was at first thought to have been
17.5 million years ago. Before then, Africa and Arabia were
supposedly isolated from Eurasia. However, this has
subsequently been called into question on account of African
elephants appearing in Asia during the late Oligocene, which
is at least 7 million years beforehand. This leaves open the
question of how the elephants got across the Tethys Sea, and
has spawned a theory that temporary land bridges emerged
before the collision.[1] Alternatively, it could mean the
elephants were transported.
