Siberian unicorns died out about 13,000 BC. They were enormous shaggy rhinos with a huge single horn. I believe though that the flood of Noah covered the entire world of civilization in Mesopotamia located below the present sea level of the Persian Gulf that has risen 200 feet since the Wisconsin ice age ended. Many ancient people described the world as the area one could walk across in three days. Language meanings change over time, although some are linguistic realists instead of nominalists. Climate change killed the northern unicorn though Indian rhinos classified as unicorns still exist.

Engineering and Scripture
Structural engineering can replicate with models numerous ancient structures that no longer exist. The first tower in human history was built, I believe, in Jericho about 9000 BC. Its purpose isn’t clear yet it could have been a pulpit for a descendent of Noah to tell people about God and to help them with agriculture community coordination. Engineers can even research prehistory and that information is useful for interpretation of Scripture and understanding ancient times better.
Forces of Nature at Time=0 Like a Russian Kachina Doll
The universe may be compared to a Russian kachina doll with four embedded forces arising from a singularity. Gravity was the first to peel off, and it may have dispersed with space-time hyper-inflation along with the other, smaller forces, more or less evenly.
Simultaneous implosion and explosion faster than light, like Russian kachina dolls forces appeared from singularity. Gravity first, strong second, electroweak third. How did different forces appear from one substance if not for ordinal reductionism. Maybe the FTL era was to allow uniform dispersion. Ideas?
The strong, electroweak and the Higgs appeared in rapid succession. There was a scalar cardinality in the appearance of forces One couldn't have all of the fermions in just one quadrant of the Universe Space-time time nothingness may be where everything originated appearing from the Universe as will and idea of God. The Unified field at space-time=0 was expressed as Word.
The unified field and black holes are prime examples of the tendency toward monism. The Universe mechanics are perhaps far more strange than imagined with real nothing inexplicably expanding into spacetime throwing off four fields (gravity first) and expanding faster than light briefly to evenly distribute the fields. The tree branch model is popular yet only one model. It need beg the premises of the singularity though, and what occurs within doesn't, it because the math doesn't work at that point? Time is possibly just a contingent fact of entangled quanta. Tegmark's view was that all possible universe may already exist and mind switches to the right one. That follows Everetts no waveform collapse paradigm for a many worlds model.
Pres Biden Might Create Unicorns and WW 3 From Nothingness
America's Lunatic President Authorizes Zelinski to Attack Moscow with U.S. Missiles
To celebrate the Sabbath Pres Biden gave President Zelinski a green light to attack Russia with USA supplied Long-Range Missiles. He should be impeached post haste lest he authorize nuclear war as well.
Some US provided weapons will be used to attack Moscow. ATACMS missiles fill out the ensemble for escalation
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/us/politics/biden-ukraine-russia-atacms-missiles.html
ATACMS have range of 190 miles and can carry nuclear warhead. The Army has a newer weapons system to replace ATACMS so Pres Biden is dumping the weapons with 2 months left in office. He does have one last chance to create World War Three after all.
President Lunacy will provide other weapons to attack Moscow.
The prospect of World War 3 catalyzed by a US President that may think he is on a crusade like the recoquista of Iberia is not silly. Megadeth is not silly. The conflict could yet be resolved by rational leaders sharing Ukraine with Russia. The blind are leading the blind.
Border Security 2025
Should get more bang for the buck and combine fresh water making canals filled with saltwater letting sunshine evaporate and transparent roofs capture condensing fresh water serve as Mexican border security barriers. Fresh water is valuable in the desert. Fences are sterile and easily breached. When fences become obsolete fresh water making desalination canals will continue to have value. Stop the senseless, myopic deficit spending waste.
If engineers on the US side prove up the concept and produce millions of gallons of fresh water from salt water piped uphill to Deming New Mexico from the Pacific Ocean it is probable that Mexico will ditto the project to generate water on its own side of the border. The Rio Grande river has a pitiful quantity of water even at Albuquerque
