might have come from Europe

via Louisiana?

Need to confirm from ticket seller at gate!!!

I think they did, but were “wiped out” by a meteor strike in the late ice age............

they were all over north America, I assume some of them made it further south were the meteor strike spared some...

The Clovis people were all over North America, since their arrowheads have been found from the Carolinas to Mexico. But they disappeared from the archaeological records suddenly all over the place. The devastation from the meteor strike must have been huge and widespread. No animals and no vegetation left, so they starved if they survived the initial destruction.............

LOL

“What?? They didn’t come from Judea?”

They were The People’s Front of Judea.

From Europe via Siberia. Got it. ;-)

That east of the Rockies thing covers a lot of ground and possibilities but Europe sound right. Although, I’ve never heard of any aboriginal named Olaf Running Bear.

[Red Badger]

No, not via Siberia, via north Atlantic and Greenland. There was a huge ice sheet that covered the entire Arctic ocean, so you could theoretically walk from Europe directly to North America............

What?? They didn’t come from Judea?

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

All of the studies, from the get go, are based on the prevailing supposition that for any people who ever lived in the Americas, they HAVE to’ve come from the “Old World”.

Native American legends contend they were always here.

Whose to say they weren't?

Or whose to say the migrations went “left to right” and not “right to left”?

[D-fendr]

I thought there was evidence of habitation much older than 15-17,000 years...

[Red Badger]

The latest theory that I think is possible is the “euro” people hunted and fished along the edge of the great ice sheet and eventually would up along the North American east coast, while later the “asian” people came across the Bering land bridge. Some may even have come by boats across from Polynesia to South American west coast..............

[Gondring]

"Uh, Houston..."

[tbw2]

Why?

[Gondring]

The genetic evidence.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Whose to say they weren't?

Carbon dating showss humans and primitive humans existing in Africa and Eurasia for well over a million years. No such humans have been found in America before the late ice age.

The devastation from the meteor strike must have been huge and widespread.

If only they'd spent their defense research budget on a meteor shield instead of Folsom points.... >sigh<

One big asteroid is all it takes...

I’ll have to dig out a book I read some years ago to refresh my memory. It’s in the storage shed, several layers deep.

Most all of the world’s religions that believe in any form of deity have major similarities. The Hopi aren’t like any of those. They seem to know some spiritual stuff that escapes other cultures. According to this book, their history starts when they came to Earth. Also according to this book, they have knowledge of alien civilizations.

I’ve been meaning to try to read up on them, to get to the bottom of the impressions left me by that book, but I haven’t had time of late.
