[University of Victoria/Canadian Press] The University of Victoria's AUV is being off-loaded from the Parks Canada vessel Gwaii Haanas II at the end of the project. The team plans to return next summer for further investigation.

An archaeological discovery from this past September could put the earliest inhabitation in Canada at around 13,800 years ago, reported CBC News. Right now it's all on sonar images captured by an underwater robotic vehicle. Archaeologist Quentin Mackie from the University of Victoria (UVIC) and his team returned from a research trip to the Haida Gwaii archipelago in August, where they used an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) to scan the sea floor in search of evidence of ancient human inhabitation.
His team has been looking for proof of the earliest human presence in North America for decades, and what they think they've found is a fishing weir (a man-made rock formation) on the bottom of Juan Perez Sound under 122 meters of water. There are other formations on the sea floor that the team thinks are the sites of ancient camps of the same age.
Scientists think that area was at sea level 14,000 years ago and was mostly one large island that stretched across Hecate Strait east toward the mainland. The area has been submerged by 120 meters of water since that last Ice Age. The oldest artifact discovered in Canada so far came from Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site -- it was dated to 12,700 years old...
Mackie and Fedje have theorized humans inhabited the area that's now deep under Hecate Strait at around 16,000 to 17,000 years ago. So far, they have no hard proof, but they may be getting closer. And it's not just technology, but agreements between the Governments of Canada and the Haida Nation may also have set the stage for an exciting discovery.

Possible that a small island has remained inhabited with contiguous folklore reaching back 14,000 years — but damned unlikely. Probably more like this:
The Dogon, the Nommos and Sirius B

13,8000 years ago that area was land above sea level. Now underwater because the sea rose...due to global warming.
Did the sea rise or the site sink. I have to believe these places sink....simple displacement.
“What they think they’ve found is a fishing weir (man made rock structure)”
The one constant is rocks. There are always rocks present. Man must be descended from rocks. I offer the population of Massachusetts as scientific proof.
The sea level rose at the end of the ice age because continent-covering glaciers were melting. That is not surprising. Land also sinks, however. What the AGW idiots don’t understand is that this stuff happens naturally.
This research just in from Orono. Massholes cannot be descended from rocks. Rocks would offer resistance if a Kennedy, a Coupe Deval, or an Injun Princess stepped on them.
Also look at bathymetric charts that show river canyons leading well out on continental slopes.
Such is life ... coinkedinkily, I just happen to be about halfway through “The Sirius Mystery” ... one of the things Temple traces are the linguistic origins of various gods in Old Kingdom Egypt and their nearly identical connections to the Sumerians. This would, if accurate, put the kabosh to the dismissive Sagan argument, while reinforcing the Dogon claim.
Another interesting aspect is that the old oracle sites are separated by 1 degree of latitude based on an old Egyptian ruin (Bendet) with lines running from it on an arc at precisely 90 degrees .
How did they know were to place them so that there was 1 degree of separation across hundreds of mile of open Mediterranean Sea? A question not so far in the book answered ...

Interesting data on this site - both Biblical and archeological.
Based on the Earth’s 4.5 billion year age - it is inevitable that human and other species have been extinguished and revived for millenium.
Researchers filled a bag with rocks to equal the body weight of John Kerry, and then compared the intelligence of the man, John Kerry, to the bag of rocks, the results support your theory, no significant difference was found between the intelligence levels of the two different elements.
I always wondered who those "rocks for brains" people were who elected Ted "I Waterboaded Kopechne" Kennedy, John "I Served In Vietnam" Kerry, Barney "I Like Boys" Frank, Ed "Climate Change Is Going To Kill Us" Malarkey, Chief Liz Warren. Bunch of kooks.
When the glaciers melted of the land the sea rose and the land under them rose a bit, too, as the weight of the ice drained away.
13,8000 years ago that area was land above sea level. Now underwater because the sea rose...due to global warming.
As a direct consequence of all that CO2 emission during that time...
What the AGW idiots don’t understand is that this stuff happens naturally.
And what the average moron democrat voter doesn’t understand is that spending trillions of dollars in wealth transfer payments to poorer nations is not going to stop something that occurs naturally.
A lot of that money also goes to terror-supporting nations or those that are run by warlords, who get it before anyone else has the chance. Liberals are simply unable to foresee the side effects because they refuse to think that far into it. “Lets just be nice to bad people and maybe they’ll like us”.
Damn algore and his glow-bull climate discombobulation. If not for that, this city would never have gotten submerged. Oh, 13,000 years old. Never mind.
If you rearrange the letters it could be. :>}
