I have a grade 9 limestone/chert leather working 3-way tool - 6500 years old.
50 years worth of treasure hunting has yielded thousands of artifacts from the continental shelf - all snaked away by state law and "tribal agreements" that are 11-25KY old - never to be seen by the public because they disprove the "we were here first" BS.
Algonkin stories go back 10-11KY ago
At the end of the last Ice age (subtracting 300' of sea water) It would have been easier to walk, hunt and fish from Paris France to NYC, then from Vladivostok to Seattle (had they existed then)
Rock hunting shelters carved into limestone faces complete with climbing steps exist in eastern NY and VT that "predate man" (yeah, right).
Mound settlements in FL are "truth dated" back to 21KYA
"Modern" spears, arrows, and points have been found 55 miles off the south coast of Iceland in 2000' of water
It just goes on and on. and the denial (BS) just gets deeper and deeper.
Great stuff, thanks Blam!
I watched that last night and it looks to me like they are really grasping at straws. The DNA thing might be true but the way they showed that they got here was pure stupid.
Could you name those Algonkian stories? I worked with an Algonkian-speaking people for a number of years and heard myths that were unrecorded, and I am interested.
One myth involved birds flying over the sea.
Freepmail me if you wish.

Like probably anyone else reading this thread, I'd be interested in this also.
Thunderbirds? (That's what the Indians called them on land.)
Grasping at straws is what now is viewed as real science. After all look at global warming and a host of other absolute scientific fact.
Seriously, yes the show was interesting, but I found it more interesting that heresy is not being preached by the media, in that the pure, environmentally sensitive native Americans might have really been partly vile, waste-mongering, Europeans!
No wonder the tribes all want Kennewick man, not to be studied. It would wreck a lot of politically correct BS that is floating around.
