I have no friggin’ idea. However, I do know that ANYTHING that doesn’t comport with the accepted “truth” of human history, as characterized by the archaeological community, is denied as long as possible.
How long were we told that the Norse never made it to North America? Anything that indicated otherwise was “fake” - until, that is, it couldn’t be denied any longer. We’re supposed to believe that every single indigenous human being in the western hemisphere prior to 1492 (now 1000-1100 a.d.) walked across the Bering land bridge? That people who canoed or sailed hundreds or thousands of miles in the Pacific, around Africa, or from Northern Europe to South Asia could never have made it to North America? Please!
There is a helluva lot about human history that we just don’t know and probably never will. It’s no more “settled science” than global warming/climate change/global cooling.

Absolutely!
Like the Roman ship found off the coast of Brazil, or the Egyption carvings in the rocks of Australia, or the objects in coal. Current popular science is based on a narrative that relies on a dumbed-down and ignorant public that has blind faith in the guardians of truth in their ivory towers.
I remember reading of the Galina People who were massacred n New Mexico way back before the white man came.
Then another book said the Galina People never existed and the story was a fabrication.
Asked some rangers at a National Monument in the area and they also said the Galina People never existed.
Then thirty five years later, an article appeared on line that they did exist and were massacred.

So why the secrecy about the past?
