What I would like to see is DNA sequencing of THESE Titusville, FL Windover bog people vs. “celtic” bog people of this Laois find. We might be surprised to learn....shock of shocks (not— see: Kennewick Man) that so called Europeans (maybe— more precisely Celtic peoples as in most of the Celtic migration— Gaul to Spanish peninsula to Ireland to Scotland) were already in N. America when the “land bridge” “native-Americans” crossed over from Siberia.
The genetics of all this is freaking out the PC crowd and the PC industry of native-American “here first” claims. You know, the indian casinos then are just political payoff for the “genocide” from the “whites”. When what ought to happen is we find descendents from the European genetic tribes that these “native Americans” wiped out in THEIR genocide, and uh- give them the casinos LOL!!.
There is no imprimatur to do anything like this, politically— far better for the dems to advocate open immigration and the creation of Aztlan from a “pure” toltec/olmec heritage of damned cannibals who wiped out the Anasazi. No problem for dems and rinos who specialize in cannibalization— they eat their own especially targeting the dwindling middle class. Rant off— no more coffee LOL.
"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."
Probably will get done, I hope you’re right about that.
The Celts’ ancestors were in Central Asia 2000 BC; the Book of Invasions used to be pooh-poohed, until the archaeological record confirmed one of the burial practices attributed to one of the book’s groups, and in the right order in the strata.
This practice of human sacrifice and dumping the body in the bog may have moved from west to east, i.e., one of the pre-Celtic population layers in the British Isles may have influenced others some way or other — the Danes have found bog bodies dating from about 500 bc to 500 ad, actually at least one more recent and possibly an identifiable historic person.
