"I was extremely bothered by the idea of the pre-historic French getting the credit not only for floating to North America, but even for creating the Clovis point."

You mean this?

Iberia, Not Siberia

Have you seen the latest from the Topper site in South Carolina? Goodyear (archaeologist) is reporting dates of human occupation exceeding 50,000 years. (It was posted 3-4 times on FR)

[VOA]

You mean this?

Yep. The NOVA show talked about the Solutreans (sp?) and said they were from
southern France. The episode included a visit to a French excavation site
and a visit to an adjacent museum to find a some "close to Clovis" points in
the boxes of debris saved from the site.

The Topper site is interesting...you and other archeo-freepers keep us
amateurs well-informed!

Immigrants From The Other Side (Clovis Is Solutrean)

We're all amateurs except I believe FReeper Coyoteman is a practicing archaeologist...PhD I think.

For the only truth, please consult the bible, King James, not the invalid RC bible.

Wow. Woeful ignorance and religious bigotry all in one post.

Kudos.

[BroncosFan]

Don't you know that Catholics follow the dictates of the Anti-Christ? It's all right there in that old invalid RC "bible". C'mon, you should know this stuff . . .

[Cronos]

For the only truth, please consult the bible, King James, not the invalid RC bible

Oh, you mean the KJV, the Bible written 1600 odd years AFTER Christ as opposed to the Catholic-Orthodox Bible derived from the Greek Writings by the Evangelists and St. Paul and others that were translated into Vulgate Latin? How can you use the term 'invalid' for the Bible or was it picked up from a Muslime site that claims the Bible was distorted and only the Qran is true????

[Cronos]

well, the first brits are thought to have come across during the Ice age when the English channel was either shallow or non-existant (and the Mediterranean was an inland lake)

[Cronos]

Maybe the real Wotan was transatlantic?

Possibly. But, the Nordic legends are similar to other Indo-European/Aryan legends that stretch from the Celts to the Aryans of India

[CurlyDave]

The climate was much colder then, and massive glaciers in the east and west formed a huge ice sheet covering most of Canada. The ice blocked access between what is today Alaska and the continental United States. Polar sea ice extended south into the Atlantic, covering Greenland, Iceland, and all but the southernmost areas of Ireland and England.

Be thankful for global warming. Without it you would not be here.

They are mythologized as a people living in harmony with each other and with nature; that all was good until the evil White man arrived. In their myth, Paradise is lost in 1492. Stories of "others" get in the way of that tale.

If other populations pre-date the Indian, then what happened to them? If the Indians aren't the perfect beings who fell to the ravenous Whites, then perhaps they simply conquered the others. Many other peoples have done so throughout history.

your point is well taken. when it suits people to use darwin's third claim in their theory of evolution (survival of the fittest), they do so. when it is not politically expedient to so do, then victimhood is played out to its fullest.

[mlocher]

For the only truth, please consult the bible, King James, not the invalid RC bible.

the king james bible was the greates work of its kind of its time. however, if i spoke the english that king james spoke in the 1600s, i would be perfectly happy to use his bible. rather, i want a bible translated from the original manuscripts that use the language that i use to today. to do otherwise, is to present a work that cannot be fully appreciated or understood.

I've always wondered about the "land bridge" theory.

If the continents were originally connected at the Atlantic Ocean, and then drifted apart, then Alaska an Siberia would have been further apart in the past, not linked by a land bridge.

"If the continents were originally connected at the Atlantic Ocean, and then drifted apart, then Alaska an Siberia would have been further apart in the past, not linked by a land bridge."

South America and Africa began breaking apart about 120 million years ago...and, continue to drift apart at about the same rate that your fingernails grow. Don't know about Alaska - Siberia.

Please note, that I have sent a formal complaint message to the moderator, as I have no recollection of ever saying this in December of 2001. I do not know how this happened. If I did say this in 2001, then please know, that this is not my current thinking.

I am in the process of going back through my replies to investigate this. I do not know how far back comments are stored.

To blam..do you remember if this is completely in context?

I am busy now, but I will get to this later.

[Cronos]

ooops, didn't notice the date of the post -- just saw red and went in, all guns firing! Apologies!

[Don Simmons]

DAMN! That blows my theory that they flew here!

[stuartcr]

No problem, I just can't figure out my comment. I don't believe I've ever taken that position, and I can't figure out why or how I would ever had said that.

sorry, i did not mean to offend you to the point where you would have felt the need to file a complaint. i apologize.

i was not paying attention to the date -- 2001 -- and thought that it was more current. i typically do not respond to things that old.

please do not waste your time tracing this down on my account.
