The Cycle of Cosmic Catastrophes: Flood, Fire, and Famine in the History of Civilization by Richard Firestone, Allen West, and Simon Warwick-Smith

*** Benjamin Franklin, who thought the bones were “extremely curious on many accounts; no living elephant having been seen in any part of America by any of the Europeans settled there, or remembered by any tradition of the Indians.” ***

Then here is something interesting.

Back about 1557 John Hawkins sailed to Africa then the Americas with a load of slaves. His fleet was captured at Vera Cruz, Mexico.
Some of the men decided to escape the Spanish and headed overland where they wer picked up by the French ship GARGARINE eleven month later off the coast of Nova Scotia. An ELEVEN month walk from Tampico, Mexico to Nova Scotia.

One of the men, David Ingram said they went overland and described many of the animals they saw, INCLUDING ELEPHANTS.

The two other survivors with David Ingram were Richard Twide and Richard Browne.

Isn’t History intersting!

this guy above you’s saying that

live elephants were part of the 16th c american landscape.

[Berosus]

I wish I had known about this place when I visited the Creation Museum last June, they can’t be too far apart.

[SunkenCiv]

I think that account is generally attributed to sightings of buffalo.

If you go, and see anything interesting, photos? :’)

Are you sure that doesn't belong in the 'Salacious Ping List' (you know, along with the Grand Tetons National Park) ?

Cheers!
