Reality is stranger than fiction.
A very interesting read. Thanks for posting. As a young teen I read Thor Heyerdahl’s Kon-Tiki and was mesmerized by the adventure. At 17 I found myself in Oslo Norway on the second leg of an around the World trip. I made it a point to visit the Kon-Tiki Museum to see the actual Kon-Tiki. Quite an experience for a young man my age to see the actual craft I had read about in a book.
a comment so i can find this later...

What a wonderful post. It makes a great deal of sense to me. Truly... Quite a lot of people from various Asian tribes might have found their way to north America this way. The various Alaskan tribes, Canadian and Pacific NW tribes could have been seeded in such a way. It makes a lot more sense to me than the idea of large movements of people over the supposed “land bridge” between Russia and Alaska.
The oldest human remains found in the Americas were recently "discovered" in the storeroom of Mexico's National Museum of Anthropology. Found in central Mexico in 1959, the five skulls were radiocarbon dated by a team of researchers from the United Kingdom and Mexico and found to be 13,000 years old. They pre-date the Clovis culture by a couple thousand years, adding to the growing evidence against the Clovis-first model for the first peopling of the Americas.
Of additional significance is the shape of the skulls, which are described as long and narrow, very unlike those of modern Native Americans.
I always believed that Mam in ancient times got around a lot more than we think we know.
-———He believes the circum-Pacific peoples have — despite the distances — known about each other for millennia, traded and fought regularly-———
In the words of my favorite archeologist Stephen Lekson........
Everybody knew everything, distance was not a problem.
He was speaking in reference to our own southwest but the principle will be the subject of debate for the future.
Guy hasn't read what Thor wrote.
He said that some of the early migrants came from America. He never claimed they weren't later overrun and largely displaced by invaders from Asia.
Fascinating read. Thanks for posting!
