sounds like a reference to clovis.

recent archaeology suggest clovis were solutreans from the atlantic coasts of spain and france at a time when the ice sheets came down into England and spread out across the atlantic south of greenland and iceland.

Much of what we know about these earliest settlers of Mexico comes from nine well-preserved human skeletons found in the submerged caves and sinkholes near Tulum in Quintana Roo, Mexico.

The question that could be asked is whether the cave was underwater when she died or were climatic conditions so different then that the caves were dry. In other words, if near the ocean, were sea levels much lower due to ice accumulation on the continents.

This is a really interesting topic. The “Official” anthropologists insist all the First Americans are brown people from Asia. For a century they have been hiding anything that doesn’t support that. Why? Who knows?
