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.

During a time known as the Archaic Period, sea levels were 30 feet lower than they are now, McCarthy told the Herald-Tribune, and Native Americans built their lives on land that's now underwater in the Gulf.


So, the ocean has risen 30 feet in 7000 years. Did the Native Americans cause global warming?

Interesting, considering time itself is only 6018 years old.

Oh, no. The site was still above sea level until 1492.

Oceans sunk about 80 feet after the Genesis 6 flood, as the glaciers of the ice age built up.

During the ice age cities were built along coast lines that later were inundated as glacires melted.

This is the basis of the “Atlantis” legends.

and I’m 100% sure during the summer they will make more “news” that the heat from sun is caused by glowbull warming. They do this sh*t every summer.

"Hey, it sure would be of great scientific interest to test any DNA we can scrounge from the remains. What now? Blond hair and blue eyes? Shut it down! Shut it down!"

“There’s nothing else like this on the planet”

i doubt that. lots of people lived near the sea and since levels have changed at various time periods, likely others just not known yet or already destroyed or scavenged etc.

Is that with, or without leap years ?

It's done.

Bye, Bye Beringia (8,000 Year Old Site In Florida)

These ancient people have European DNA.

"*Skeletal remains of 169 people, split almost evenly between males and females, ranging from 6 to 70 years old. About 75 of the skeletons were relatively intact.

*90 intact human brains that include the oldest DNA samples in the World.
*Artifacts of wood, bone, and seed that were made into jewelry and tools, providing insight into the ancient peoples' lives.
*Tests showed the oldest skeletons were buried 8,100 years ago. The youngest was placed in the ground 6,900 years ago.

It wasn't Native Americans who caused global warming - it was their SUV's...

There were no native Americans, everyone came here from somewhere else, some earlier some later.

Sea levels began to rise 18k years ago at the end of the last glacial period.
They have risen about 135 meters since then.
