Well yeah, it wasn't one beaver, it was hundreds of beavers

Beavers built a damn in Alberta (850 meters) that is twice the length of the Hoover Dam. It isn't the technical marvel as the Hoover Dam, but one would have to be lying to say it's not impressive.

Extra info: we know it has existed since at least 1975, as it's visible in arial photographs. (Many from space).

So 50+ years for rodents maintaining a project seems pretty neat.

Also over in Europe sometime in the last several years, some beavers completed a dam that had been stalled in the planning and funding phase. The beavers just rolled up and in 24 hours with $0 in funding and built a dam in almost the exact spot that the planners were going to build them anyway.

Nor did any Hoovers.

This has "big government" written all over it. You can't convince me otherwise.

Mainstream archeologists would like you to believe that.
But the truth will come out - it was aliens.

Am I tripping or is that the real life version of the damn in GTA V?

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

This is the Hoover Dam, the GTA V dam is based on Pacoima Dam and Morris Dam
