Thought this was interesting and that some of you might enjoy reading it.

I just thought of something. Robert E. Lee was a direct descendant of Pocahontas.

Doesn’t that make him immune from criticism?

[EvilCapitalist]

I have a book that covers this. It’s called “Love & Hate in Jamestown: John Smith, Pocahontas(Not Elizabeth Warren), and the start of a new nation.” The author is David A. Price in case anyone is interested.

It is very interesting - thanks for posting it.

[RoosterRedux]

Your book is highly regarded by reviewers on Amazon. I'll add it to my list.

Thx.

There are NO "native American Indians."

1. The people called "native American Indians" are GENETICALLY Oriental Asians. They aren't even Indians. The REAL Indians are in India. DNA doesn't lie."

2. They ARE ORIENTAL Asians, as opposed to the CAUCASIAN Asians, Indians from India. CAUCASIAN Asians also include Pakistanis and Bangladeshis--all Caucasian and all Asian. DNA doesn't lie."

3. ALL Oriental Asians have a DEFICIENCY in the enzyme acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. That enzyme helps with dealing with alcohol. Since the Oriental Asians have that particular deficiency they could not cope with alcohol--"FIRE WATER." DNA doesn't lie."
Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis have no such deficiency and can drink alcohol with no negative reactions.

4. ALL Oriental Asians have roundish (NOT OBLONG) heads. Caucasians and sub-Saharan Africans have OBLONG heads. The human remains in those hunts had OBLONG heads.
***Anthropologists don't believe that Africans had the sea-going vessels to cross the Atlantic/Pacific Oceans. So the remains were from Caucasians.

5. Those Oriental Asians weren't even the FIRST PEOPLE in the Americas.
The FIRST people on this continent hunted the wild beasts in the area. They dug pits and drove the beasts into the pits where the beasties were then killed for meat.
SOMETIMES the beast killed a hunter. Human remains found there had OBLONG skulls. Therefore, THEY were the first humans in the Americas.

It was interesting.

A bit uneven or biased but that’s normal.

Can you quit with the BS. Just read the story and comment on it.
This thing some people have about Indians and making up BS about their ancestry is just stupid.

[Vermont Lt]

That was great. Thanks for posting it.

[SandwicheGuy]

Says you, with three fingers pointing back at you... I quite enjoyed the comment, as opposed to yours.

[Varda]

Then you enjoy BS. I’m not fond of lies.

[Reily]

“....re had OBLONG skulls ....”

Are you referring to the Solutreans ?

[EvilCapitalist]

You’re welcome. :-)

The intermingling of children between the cultures is no lie. My grandmother was a Pace. We trace our lineage directly to Richard and Isabella Pace, who arrived at Jamestown in 1620. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Pace_(Jamestown)
One night an Indian boy, that treated like their own child, Chanco, told them of an imminent attack on the settlement. Richard rowed across the river that night to warn the fort, which was able to prepare. But in the attack the next day, about 329 settlers in the surrounding area were slaughtered.

I am but I never had the NAME for them. This is newer information than I had. :o)

If you think that it's BS then you don't SEEM to be a fan of archaeology. I suppose you think that the first Egyptians were all Arabs. Lol.

Archaeology is the study of human history and prehistory through the excavation of sites and the analysis of artifacts and other physical remains. That is why we KNOW that the "native American Indians" were originally Oriental Asians.

Get over yourself.
Thankew.

Thanks for posting this article, RR.

The first immigrants to the VA Colony from England with my surname arrived ~1620 and lived in Olde Jamestown.

They were killed in 1622 during the attack by Opechancanough and his warriors, along with hundreds of other Colonists.

Their small baby boy was found alive and is thought to have been raised by the mother’s parents, who lived nearby.

If not for that baby boy, I wouldn’t be here.

I also thank you for posting this.

In the mid 1960's I lived in Norfolk. I was taught Virginia history in the 3rd grade. Our class trip was to Jamestown and Williamsburg. The Chesapeake Bay area was simply beautiful. If you can ever visit this region of America, you should.
