When you think of the map now, it’s hard to believe he actually thought that. Interesting isn’t it.

Older than the 9000 to 13,000 years ago sandals found in a cave at Fort Rock, Oregon?

“Everything in the house was marked

MADE IN CHINA”

Which led to a very brief trade era because the quality was piss poor. Nothing changed during the centuries.

Doncha know space aliens settled the world? Just watched a show about how they helped build the pyramids and people are looking for lost ones. They sure are pushing the ET angle. : ). One show even said Atlantis was a space ship.

The Pinson Mounds in West Tennessee was the location of the Woodland Indian citiy that numbered around 50,000 citizens around the time of Christ. In the mounds archaeologists have found items from Washington State, Northern Canada, and Florida indicating there was a brisk trade from the entire continent 2000 years ago.

PYRAMIDS Are cool,
their Just Upsidedown.!

Have you seen the Mounds alongThe Natchez Trace? I get on it at Cherokee, AL and go on it to Highway 32 when I drive down to see family. They are fascinating.

Something I’ve been saying for years. My history teachers almost fifty years ago showed us evidence of Chinese sailors having visited the shores of North America over a thousand years ago. They traded with American Indian tribes. Historical documents in China have writings and drawings describing flora and fauna only existing in America, written some 1300 years ago. There are similarities between Asians and American natives. All ignored by western “historians” in favor of Columbus.

I didn’t know they had battery powered stuff back then.
That one tool looks something like a Harbor Freight ‘tennis racket’ bug zapper, but it’s described as an automatic seal club. Fascinating.
Those inventive Chinese! Gunpowder, pasta, ice cream and now, electric cat polishers.

AMERICAN INDIANS DISCOVERED GERMANY IN 1153
1153 “In the yeere 1153 ... it is written, that there came to Lubec, a citie of Germanie, one Canoa with certaine Indians, like vnto a long barge: which seemed to haue come from the coast of Baccalaos [Newfoundland], which standeth in the same latitude that Germanie doth.”[ Found in Antoine Galvano, in Goldsmid’s ed. of “Hakluyt’s Voyages”, vol. xvi., p. 293; “Jesuit Relations”, p.308

For years my wife and I swore that our old house here in AL was built on an old Indian burial ground. Weird things happened all the time - typical haunted house stuff. Even our dogs acted odd at times. Once, it flooded while we were away and was almost totaled. It finally got hit by lightning and burned down. When my wife went to the county courthouse to pull up the paperwork to sell the property, it was.......wait for it......on the site of and old Creek Indian tribal ground.

I report. You decide.

[MamaB]

I have a story, too. A few weeks ago, I was standing up trying to decide if I wanted to go to kitchen or bedroom first. The next thing I knew, I had been pushed and fell sideways and backwards over an end table. I mean it felt like a linebacker had pushed me. No one else was here. My back, arms and sides still hurt. I have no dea what really happened because I was standing still and I sure can not figure out how I fell sideways and ended up on my back across the end table. Any ideas? Love your story. Paranormal shows are my favorites.

[Viking2002]

How many beers did you have that evening? LOL It got to the point after several years when something totally off-the-wall would happen, and we'd yell "Damned Indians!" at the ceiling. My wife is 4/10ths Cherokee, and even she was cussing them out. LOL

[Smokin' Joe]

Is anyone here married to the idea Columbus had to be the first discoverer of the Americas?

Mrs. Joe is Chippewa. She says "What are we, chopped liver?" "Just because we walked across..."

[Smokin' Joe]

The oldest evidence is likely under water out on the Continental Shelf. (Sea level rose when the ice sheets melted, doubtless flooding the coastal townsites.) If the water was the highway, those ancient river mouths and harbors were likely sites for people to settle.

Few months ago I saw an article saying that Marco Polo possibly sailed down the West coast. If I remember right based on some map that predated Columbus.

He probably had a premonition of what Kalifornia would be and turned tail before the disease ate the brains of him and his crew....

[conservativejoy]

The artifacts found there date back to the Paleolithic Era. From what I understand, that Era ended at different times in different parts of the world. It is believed that it ended here around 11,000 years ago. So these finds would date back into the thousands of years before that.

I would have guessed the oldest life evidence might have been found in Mexico or along the Alaskan shores.

Sorry but I do not drink beer or anything else in that category. I even hate the smell of it. Love lemonade, sweet tea, orangeade, and I keep a water bottle near me and I do not leave home without one. I just do not know what happened. How does anyone, except me, fall sideways and end up on their back across an end table? I am just very thankful I did not fall on my face and damage my eyes again. I never, ever want to see double again. Have an appt with my eye surgeon on the 22nd. Both eyes are still very inflamed from my last surgery about a month ago. God bless.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Rebelbase. The problem as I see it is, no one ever invented watercraft until about 1491. /s /jk /rimshot

How can you “discover” a place if you don’t know where you are?
