Thanks for the update. This proves my theory

> "At least one suspect was arrested for alleged arson".

Ok. Lets change "soldiers" by a more generic "human pieces of s*t".

I wonder if any fossil were radioactive before to became a fossil. That would made the process much easier.

At one time there were natural nuclear reactors. Veins of uranium rich enough to fission.
One hypothesis is that the moon was basically spat out by a supercritical natural fission reactor inside earth at a time when the earth was still rotating much faster. Basically slinging a part of itself into space to form the moon.

I love that hypothesis.

Sadly the current most popular hypothesis in the scientific community is the collision of a smaller version of the Earth with another planet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_the_Moon
