Off Florida Coast, an 'Unprecedented' 7,000-Year-Old Burial Site Discovery
The Weather Channel ^ | March 29, 2018 | Sam Breslin

Researchers recently announced the discovery of human remains off the coast of Sarasota County, Florida. Radiocarbon testing of wood buried with the bones suggests the remains date back some 7,000 years. It's believed the remains were some of the first Native Americans to settle in Florida.

Just 300 feet off the coast of Manasota Key in Sarasota County, Florida, divers made a recent discovery that could unlock centuries of Florida's ancient history.

The find, called "unprecedented" by National Geographic, is a burial site that contains human remains dating back some 7,000 years. Originally believed to be a crime scene when first discovered, radiocarbon tests on some of the wood found buried with the bones confirmed the burial site was definitely not recent.

"There’s nothing else like this on the planet ... and it’s offshore Manasota Key," historian John McCarthy, executive director of Historic Spanish Point, told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.

Long before Global Warming and Climate Change propaganda, it was discovered that the east coast of Florida was rising and the west coast was sinking.

Fishermen claim there are cypress stumps about a mile off the coast of Florida near the mouth of the Suwannee River.

I believe they did in the state of Washington.

Yup. Don’t know what’s “unprecedented” to other folks buried there.

That little curve at the beginning of your graph shows me that we should be investing in furs instead of banana farm in Chicago.

Indeed! Historically inter-glacial periods don’t last that long relatively speaking.
Between 15k and 25k years and we’re 18k into this one.

Might be a good opportunity to discuss your insight that 95% of human history lies under sea water on the world's continental shelves.

First Americans - Out of Europe

Dog DNA - European & Near Eastern Dogs In Americas Over 9000 years ago

Topper site find reveals people were here long before previously thought (50,000 years ago).

The first "Americans" where European.

What happened to them is not clear yet. However, it's certainly possible that the "American Indians" wiped them out over generations. The first American genocide. Talk about an inconvenient truth!

The underwater site in Brevard County is fresh water, as far as I know.

And, as I recall, the burials took place in the water, not before the water arrived.

E=hc/(Lambda), Both h and c have been measured to be changing. What has not changed is E, energy is conserved. c has been measured to be slowing down. That means any dating technique using c will result in an erroneous conclusion. Ole Romer first measured c in 1676. So we have only 350 years of measurements, total. But projecting backwards with actual measurements have yielded shocking results that many will not accept and therefore ignore the fact that both h and c are changing.

I’m so old that I remember arguing with the guy telling them it would be a lousy place for a burial site.

7,000 years ago is nothing.

And there were pretty large cities in North America long before that.

We’ve been brainwashed for so long we cannot even see facts that lie in front of us. We believe hardly anything on the network news—but suggest that people populated the US territory more than 600 years ago and it’s considered crazy.

Did the Native Americans cause global warming?

Yes! When the traveled, their travois kicked up so much dust the sun was obscured and the fallout cause mutations, which in turn caused the sea to rise. See?
