It wasn’t an ephemera, it was a clay tablet...........

Everybody didn’t come all at once. A few here, a few there, a family, a single person. They came and spread out slowly from all directions...............

Would a American Indian DNA test prove or disprove this?
Tablet possibly brought over by European colonists?

I will posit a better source is from the upper reaches of the Amazon river. There is developing very wide spread evidence of a lost civilization now overgrown completely by the rain forest.

The fact is, the rain forest so strongly protected by the enviros is in effect weeds that have grown up to cover the vast areas once occupied by these ancient men.

The tablet first traveled to the Amazon civilization and then worked it’s way northward.

We have a Chief Joseph middle school here in my Montana town of Bozeman.

It’s actually rated as a very good school.

Yeah, that was even true for the Europeans, until the realization that real opportunities existed in this newly founded nation. Up until the Europeans arrived, it was more of a nomadic existance for the residents of these lands. It was a simplier life then now, but it was far from being simple at the same time. As has always been the case, life is a struggle.

Question remains also, were they able to travel far distances, or were they relocated here as the result of the earth actually moving. Because it sure looks as if the earth seems to fot perfectly with other parts of landmasses, especially when it comes to Africa & South America.

The world, and universe are interesting, and it boggles my mind that anyone cann come to the conclusion that it all happened by happenstance. The odds do not support that assumption at all, when really examined. Too many things had to occur in succession in order for success to be realized. 😁🤙

I camp for hunting near the cave in which Chief Joseph was born.

This is fascinating, but it is highly unlikely that ancient civilizations did not exist and extend worldwide.

Vedic texts, e.g. the Mahabharata, clearly record some of them.

Homo sapiens has existed on earth for 200,000-300,000 years, according to best estimates of contemporary scientists. We have documented records of maybe 5,0000-6,000 years. What were homines intelligentes doing for the preceding 195,000-294,000 years? Bumping around in the woods? I don't think so. They were establishing cities, civilizations, et al.

The biggest drawback to this theory, it seems to me, is the absence of metals and advanced ceramics at ancient sites. However, the cuneiform tablet found in Georgia was of lead. Maybe the metals were recycled. Certainly metals such as gold and silver would have been.

Occam’s Razor... Is it easier to accept the Summarians traveled to the US and left the tablets, or they were moved from the ME to the US during the great flood, or they were left there by the Spanish explorers and later found and passed down the line?

Chief Joseph made a great highway. The Chief Joseph Scenic Byway (Wyoming Highway 296) is a stunning 47-mile route in Wyoming, connecting Cody to the Beartooth Highway (US 212), offering panoramic mountain views, wildlife, and historical significance along the Nez Perce trail. Key highlights include the Dead Indian Pass Overlook, Sunlight Creek Bridge, and opportunities to see grizzlies, elk, and bison in Shoshone National Forest, though it’s best driven in summer/fall due to seasonal closures and hairpin turns.

When the Europeans arrived, they didn’t do anything to the natives that the natives weren’t doing to each other for thousands of years............

Let’s say somebody — over there and back then — brought it across the Atlantic and eventually Chief Joseph got a hold of it.
Why would someone bring an old sheep receipt all the way across the water? And Sumer wasn’t exactly on the coast of Africa either. Not as if someone just took the wrong fork in the current and wound up thousands of miles from his local distributor.
They’re asking us to believe this doodad crossed Africa as well as the Atlantic and North America too!

It would need to have changed hands a LOT of times and possibly across a LOT of different tribes and cultures, in two hemispheres, and documents an exchange 4000 years ago. For much of that time, no one knew what it said.

It is also possible that Gloria Farley was right in her book about all kinds of ancient inscriptions when she collected them from rocks visible from some of our larger rivers.

Perhaps SunkenCiv has the book title. Merry Christmas
