The poster tops off with an abstract of the whole Swordgate saga and study as updated over past versions and continues with the full inventory and group type presentation. The key stuff we’ve done and figured out and collected follows. Sections on the art of the science, 3D modelling, bivalve mold casting, metallurgy notes, morphometric notes, the timeline in quick view mode, and the primary working hypothesis, are presented. Graphics are crammed in to encapsulate and summarize everything important.
Cover your walls or your computer screen with this executive summary poster of the single greatest crowdsourced kick in the pants debunking of pseudo artifact nonsense that’s ever happened within the history of man as we know it...or just share the inner giggle this has been for many of us Swordgaters. Once again, congratulations and thanks to all contributors.
Here’s the changelog update from v5.0 to v6.0:
There’s also a summary video version of the poster on the unofficial official Swordgate Youtube channel HERE.
