I was looking at the images on livescience.com yesterday - but despite the useful red circles and scale maps telling me how big this 'anomaly' is, all I can see is ice and rock.\n\nSurely something 2000+ years old and made of wood would have perished in such an exposed location? I know human remains have been found in the French/Italian Alps pretty intact but they were buried under metres of snow and ice...

The generally accepted age for the Earth and the rest of the solar system is about 4.55 billion years. I am not an expert on this matter, but I believe in science. If someday people find new convincing theories, I will be very open to accept them. But only 6000 years old? Come on, I don't buy it.

since there was no year 0, the man ages 29 years until the year 1 BC, then another 30 to the year 30 AD, so he is 59.

According to geological observations, Mount Pinatubo's activity started about 1,1 million years ago. In this early times, it seems that the volcano was less active than the modern Pinatubo.\nThe biggest volcanic eruption of the Pinatubo, and probably of the human history, was the explosion that occurred 35000 years ago. The total volume of material erupted was up to 25 cubic kilometres.\nLater large eruptions occurred 17000, 9000, 5500 and 3900–2300 and 500 years ago, the total volume of material ejected each time was about 10 cubic km. \nThe 1991 eruption was preceded by a 500 years of dormant period, during that the mountain was completely covered by the rainforest.

The earth is BILLIONS of years old. That's 4500 Million years old , (about).\n\nPeople think know this because of four ways of thinking about it.\n\n1. We know about how old the sun is. \n\nThink of a soda with ice. when we start drinking theres plenty of soda and a the ice is frozen and the soda is cold, when the soda gets "older" it is more watery because the ice has all melted, when the soda gets really "old" the soda becomes flat and doesn't taste good. \n\nIt's kinda like that with the sun, we can see other stars, some that are young and some that are old and when we look at them all we can know the sun is about 4.5 billion years old based on how it behaves. \n\nStars are also a little bit like people in how they behave. Very young sun-like stars are bright and white or yellow and very active. Adolesent stars are not as active but are still bright and usually yellow or light orange in color. Middle age stars are orange and not quite as active. Old stars are darker colors of orange and even less active,and may start to get fatter and very old stars will grow bloated , turn redish and then become more dim and evenually end up becoming nurserys for other stars or planets after they die.\n\nWe think the earth formed at the same time as the sun, so that is about 4.5 billion years ago. \n\n2. Some elements on earth "decay" at a certain rate, think of it like a rusting tool in a shed or work area. One of the metals, Uranium decays over billions of years , almost all of the Uranium on the earth is of the same "decaying" age. That age is about 4.5 billion years ago. Oxygen and other elements have other "decay" rates and these also tend to support the fact that the earth has had oxygen in the atmosphere for about 3 billion years.\n\n3. We know the earth is old because of fossils , some fossils are of shells of sea animals that are very simple. Some of these shells are found on the highest mountains in the world. So if we say these shells were once deep in an ocean "how often do earthquakes move this mountains" and "how much does the mountain move up or down up each time", if we then say ok "we've been here watching this mountain for 200 years and there were two earthquakes and each earthquake  moved the mountain 1 inch. How long would it take to move 100 miles and 3 miles up. \n\nBy answering questions like that we can figure out how old certain mountains are, by doing this all over the earth the oldest mountains/rocks are in Australia and Canada and they are were formed a little less than 4 billion years ago.\n\n4. We think the moon formed from the earth being hit by another planet about the size of the planet mars, and we think that this happened about 4 to 3.5 billion years ago based on how far the moon is moving away from the earth and the incline of the earth and the moon.\n\nSome religions, notably the evangelical movement in the US, believe the earth was formed by God in 6 days. They figure based on the Bible backwards from when someone dies or was born backwards from Jesus , to King David, to Noah, to Adam and Eve and based on that math the Earth is only 6000 years old.  \n\nThis is not supported by any scientists as a good, reasonable date as the planet's surface is too large and would still be mostly molten rock if it was only 6000 years old and there would be no oceans or life just a big molten radioactive lava ball in space like a red hot bigger version of the moon...\n\nOther religions say that the earth was the result of a giant fight amongst the Gods and almost every society of man has what is called a "creation myth" which is how primitive people explain good questions when they don't _know_ or can't figure out the answers.

Mt. Elbrus\n\nElbrus has two summits, the east summit being the lower of the two at 5,621 meters, both of which are dominant volcanic domes.

not much... I've been there and it seems to me Pompeii is almost at the foot of Mt.Vesuvius.

4.3 years older than it looks now.\n\n300 million years.\n\nJust a baby!
