“We reside in an exciting put with countless numbers of a long time of heritage,” reported Homer Thiel.

Thiel is a project manager with Desert Archaeology and states there was no volcanic explosion that produced Sentinel Peak, what we call “A” Mountain, but he states the mountain was fashioned by volcanic action between 10 and 20 million many years ago.

“It just pushed up from under. Most of the Tucson Mountains are volcanic in origin, as are the mountains up in Flagstaff,” Thiel claimed. “So, hundreds of thousands of many years ago there have been volcanoes that were erupting right here in Tucson.”

And the meteorite that supposedly designed the crater… that is a lie far too.
