maybe you should re-read the article and show me exactly where it claims that the wood was exposed
the mountain (volcano) is about 16,000 ft tall, do you know how little the oxygen content there is at that altitude? do you know what the temperature is that high up in that climate? in order for the wood to rot, you would need a wood rotting fungus, moisture, high humidity, or even steam.
after just a few seconds of research, i discovered that above roughly 13,000 ft up, the mountain consists mainly of igneous rock and glacial ice. im assuming you know a glacier can only form when more snow falls in winter then melts in summer, this should be a big clue indicating that there is not much liquid water when nearing the peak.
did you know before houses were built, many people used to live in caves, and many animals still do? do you know why?
to protect themselves from the elements....
if you had watched the video, im sure you would have not only picked up on the copious amounts of ice coating the surrounding the area, but also the fact that was out in the open. so you see, the potential boat was protected by not only what you claim to have protected those frozen woolly mammoths, but yet another extremely thick layer of rock.
so should we maybe take a look at the elements? well, for glacial ice to form, it must be pretty cold, and a large amount of snow must fall. now those arent exactly the conditions in which wood would rot.
now, i dont want to call you stupid, but i really hope you put a little more thought into your next call out....
