Yup,humans have been on this planet for at least a half a million years.
It takes approximately ten thousand years to go from hunter gathers to civilization.

There has been a enough time for several civilizations to rise and fall.🤔

“the Indian DNA shows chinese background”

Well one of the major waves of migration that contributed to “Native Americans” seemed to be closely related to the people the Chinese called “Xiongnu”, or who the Europeans called “the Huns”.

They walked over during the Ice Age.

There are structures in South Americas, Chile I think, that are as large as the Giza pyramids and older, putting the arrival back to at least 2500-3000 BC.

I don’t know why people want to give the Arabs credit for doing everything.


The first known Arab muslim in America tried to rape an Indian gal - she was the Chief’s daughter. She beat him senseless. He was then tied to a pole and skinned alive.

Credit where credit is due.

Didn’t the bastards invent algebra.


No, they stole it from the Persians. The only known invention by a muslim was the Palestinian who invented the cell phone bomb

If Arabs had discovered America, we would still be in the 12th century and have a weird attraction to goats.

I was thinking in terms of the 50 states. Columbus may have seen Puerto Rico too.

I think Henry VII gave John Cabot 10 pounds as a reward for discovering Newfoundland (and giving England a claim to the New World). Soul of generosity, that guy.

“In 2017, this is worth approximately:
£6,659.57
In 1500, you could buy one of the following with £10:
Horses: 7
Cows: 26
Wool: 90 stones
Wheat: 25 quarters
Wages: 333 days (skilled tradesman)”

It still wasn’t that much money.

I took the time to read this and it is larded with the usual insults against those who develop points of view that are contrary to the conventional wisdom.

The article starts out with something that has been utterly disproved; the migration across the Bering Strait land bridge. Among other reasons, the natives of the Americas were 100 per cent “O” blood type and no trace of A/B which should have come over from Asia.

Perhaps the Egyptians traded with parties that did cross the Atlantic to the Americas. The people of the Canary Islands coincidentally also mummified their dead like the Egyptians so they’re a possible candidate. It would be interesting if possible to test their mummies of the same time period to see if nicotine and cocaine are also detected. Perhaps they discovered the efficacy of nicotine in preserving mummies and passed that on to the Egyptians.
