If anything, these shared histories show the essential sameness of people.
“anyone familiar with the theory central american Mayans went to Georgia....”
I’ve heard of it.
It’s based on some buildings and implements that are so close to Mayan that it makes no difference. There was an excavation done on a mound in Georgia that turned out to be a miniature Mayan temple.
Haven’t heard anything about it in a decade or so.
Did the settlers bring the STDs, or vice versa?
Read later.
Vice versa
If you haven't yet read "The Frontiersmen by Allan W. Eckert", your missing an excellent read.. :)
The Oneida were the only tribal group who fought with the Patriots against the Brits.
[snip] Archaeologists from the University of South Dakota, directed by project director Larry J. Zimmerman, field director Thomas Emerson, and osteologist P. Wille, found the remains of at least 486 people killed during the attack. Most of these remains showed signs of ritual mutilation, particularly scalping. Other examples were tongues being removed, teeth broken, beheading, hands and feet being cut off, and other forms of dismemberment. In addition to the severity of the attack, most of the people showed signs of malnutrition and many had evidence of earlier wounds, likely from other attacks. This evidence has suggested to scholars that lives of people of the Initial Coalescent culture were under more stress than was thought; they have theorized that the people were attacked by another group or several groups of the Initial Coalescent culture in the area in competition for arable land and resources.
