VREDEFORT DOME - ORIGINS

[@sharonkolisang6557]

I honestly see nothing wrong with this video; I found it to be very educational.

[@devonduplessis5778]

Regardless of the negative comments, this is pretty cool. A ripple affect throughout time that might be responsible for a lot of modern day gold extraction. A process 2 billion years in the making. Some people from Parys don't even know about this crater existing. We need to hype this up. This is so cool

[@fredevans2360]

Thank you- very interesting - I will bookmark this page for us to show our overseas visitors

[@runswithbeer]

The meteor crater in Arizona is very interesting to tour. Walk the rim trail.

The lack of comments here suggests the lack of competency of my species, we should all be learning, discussing and knowing as much as we can about these in order to try and prevent our own extinction.

On second thought, maybe those cunts should go extinct. There is so much fucking garbage like Daniel C-137.

[@RonCheesley]

Well go fuck yourself aswell

[@notbootstrap750]

The lack of comments suggest that people don't want to write. The video doesnt have many views of course there won't be a lot of comments, so stop being such a dick saying "lack of competency of my species" that sounds really awful.

I know, this video is very dry. However why is there so little 'publicity' about this impact? (Tv programming or KZbin videos) It's the biggest ever. One of the oldest. Etc etc. Does a tree have to fall over in the USA for it to make a sound? I've heard it said that it (the meteor) either bought the all the gold mined in South Africa, or at least redistributed the gold that was there before the strike. (All SA gold is mined in this crater area)

[@iwazhere7077]

Not quite correct, mines in the dome area are relatively small (near surface caves) and yields were insignificant in comparison with reserves found in johannesburg (part of witwatersrand) and the goldfields region where ore is/was produced from deep underground mining operations.

[@lawrenceatkinson5884]

@@iwazhere7077 I'm involved in mining in the area. The dome is the 'splashback' from the impact, the actual impact crater is measured in 100's kms. I've been 1km underground in gold mines and discussed the distribution of the gold, as a result of the impact, with a range of mining engineers. The impact resulted in a large inland sea. Remember this all happened some billion plus years ago

@@lawrenceatkinson5884 I must have mistaken you for a yank somehow, sorry about that Lawrence 👋🏻😎 What do you make of the (fairly recent) discovery of the concentrated helium deposit in the goldfields?

@@iwazhere7077 thanks for the withdrawal 🤭. I can't speak to your question, I've my 'head in a coal mine' at present.

[@marklewis4793]

this is when they brought the gold,..hope they do'nt come back for it.

[@dirkfolscher3001]

All that gold is in London mostly, and the rest of the world, except in South Africa, where it is supposed to be.

Ok did he really say two thousand billion years ago?

Yes

Duhhhh 🙄🙄🙄

Nice to hear Andre Walters again.

[@SeenaTabatabai]

Was there evidence of meteors rock?

[@SeenaTabatabai]

No

[@paulhansenofficial]

No it's a giant space shovel

[@relevant4life]

2000 million years ago huh

[@SuperKamiGuruu]

999 million + 999 million + 2 million = 2000 million or 2 Billion

Love those Dutch names

[@rocketcello5354]

Die name is net afrikaans, nie Dutch nie. The names are in Afrikaans, not Dutch.

[@rocketcello5354]

@Lara Gravenor generally

[@raytheron]

Not really. Afrikaans and Dutch differ a great deal, even though they may seem and sound similar.
