A new study of ancient Caribbean skulls suggests Christopher Columbus' accounts of fierce raiders abducting women and cannibalizing men might be true.
In 1492, under orders from King Ferdinand of Spain, famed Italian explorer Christopher Columbus discovered the New World of the Americas while trying to find a new route to India and has been both credited and blamed for having opened up the Americas for European colonization.
Columbus' accounts of the Caribbean include gory descriptions of fierce cannibals abducting and abusing women and eating men, and while most historians have regarded these stories as figments of Columbus imagination, a new study suggests the famous navigator might have been telling the truth...

So then Columbus can now claim self defense?
I was visiting a park in Arizona where the Indians had to climb a sheer face with footholds so narrow no one was allowed to go to the top. The top of the mesa could have been defended by an old lady with a rock. Everything they drank and ate or stored had to be carried up by this precarious route or raised up in a basket. A bronze plaque read something like, “Obviously, the Indians lived up here because of the wonderful view.” I laughed out loud. They obviously lived up there for defense.
In the museum were human remains and a card said they had knife marks on them. I don’t think the word cannibal was used on any of these displays. That wouldn’t have fit the narrative of how wonderful, peaceful and loving and respecting of their women they were. The female bones had stress marks indicating a lifetime of heavy work, which somehow did not fight with the narrative of how idyllic their life was.
Some of the glowing literature concerning how wonderful and peaceful these people were was gagging. Whoever wrote it came to the job with a preconceived notion that modern culture is bad and the brutish short lives that were depicted in the glass cases was somehow idyllic.
If you Italians practiced sodomy and cross dressed they’d give you an entire month. They do that out here in Cali; rainbow flags, floats, doing crazy unspeakable acts and they are proud of all of it.

I wonder if they preferred BBQ sauce made with tomatoes or with vinegar? Or perhaps some horse radish?

Being back in early days of exploration of the Americas human fare eaten by cannibals was referred to as long pig. So, a bbq for pig would be appropriate.

“But..but...they were more in tune with natuuuuure!” - spluttering academic mental flatliner
Never ceases to amuse me when they find evidence of past inhumanity by man how they contort to explain it away.
Or claim man being in tune and one with the universe.
Yes, the myth of man in the garden of paradise, in his natural state, being invaded by the Western Civilization, the corruption of the natural state. The Left is very slick in their propaganda to trick the allegiance of the ignorant. So pathetic. I miss my Columbus Day.

Thanks a fool in paradise. And for dessert, lady fingers!
You mean Jeffrey Dahlmer had ancestors in the Caribbean? Who knew !
lol
I was out and about today.
They still all sound like WOPs out here with their brought over from Brooklyn accents. :)
but what a very patriotic group.
Trump signs and bumper stickers and hats and pins and Trump stands on the sides of roads selling Trump items.
And American flags everywhere.
My father didn’t get here until 1926.
Hell, half my friends still speak fluent Italian.
But you’d think they trace their roots to the Revolution with the Pride they have in America and being American.
It’s a beautiful thing to see.
The world changes. But Staten Island’s south shore stays in a vacuum :)
And we welcome all antifa/blm members too start a riot.
Cannibal Lives Matter
The name sounds familiar. It wasn’t chopped off all at once.
And boy is that horrible.
I rubbed my arm against a person’s cigarette by accident once and the pain was agonizing.
I don’t even want to imagine..a 6 year old no less.
good grief.
after the aztecs slaughtered their prisoners on their temple pyramids, they rolled the bodies to the bottom. The heads legs, arms and torsos were separated. The arms and legs used to make a stew for the people, and the heads put onto pikes (skull racks), the torsos were used to feed wild pigs (javelinas) which would later be consumed by the public.
About 4- years before the spanish arrived, they had an “anniversary” of the temple, and slaughtered 84,000 in one year this way. That is 2,333 or so per day. Every day.
It wasn’t Colonization, it was imposition of Globalism.

***human fare eaten by cannibals was referred to as long pig***
I believe that was the South Sea Islanders. Still the American Indians did chow down on each other.
Here is a book I read back in the early 1960s. LONG PIG.

In San Antonio during a truce, the Comanches brought in their captured children to trade. One of them had her face burned off. It ended in a blood bath instead of a truce.
