Ahem, I see that UFO up there over that picture of Chimney Rock.
I missed that...
Worse than just mere Europeans, the Aztlan/Reconquista jerks have to face facts that the Conquistedores were simply retrieving their own ancestral birthright from invaders from China.
From about 1515 to 1648 most of the Americas were subjected to enormous and deadly plagues.
If you've ever looked over Jamestown's history you would have noticed that about 90% of the first 60,000 "settlers" died of disease within a few months of their arrival. Definitely some problems here.
The Clovis culture is the one at issue here ~ not an earlier one, nor a later one. Solutrean and Clovis technology appear to be so similar that you have to stand on your head to argue that they could possibly have different origins.
Except the West Coast Indians with the greatest incidence of “x factor” (a series of codes they have in common only with the Sa’ami and the Berbers) are, of course, the Chippewa who “look white” to a greater degree than any other Indians.
Oh, sure it was. The high number that I've ever heard for aboriginals was 6 million, which I think is a crock and irredentist propaganda.
But even if it were true it's a tiny number of people for such an enormous area.
Lots of photographs of the American West exist which predate most of the significant settlement. The land is utterly empty. As a lot of it still is. Oddly, I have never seen a picture of Aztec airports, Ute skyscrapers, or Navajo nuclear power plants. Certainly weren't in any pix I ever saw. Guess they took them all down and hid them, huh?
It was European civilization which brought the institutions and technology to make the land support far higher numbers than what was here. You can argue all you want about how Asia had such culture (only to a subsistence level); or how it might have evolved eventually here (they had about 60,000 years here....about the same as Europe. So when would it have happened?); or...or...whatever other simpering, We're-just-as-good-as-ju-damn-gringos argument you can think of....but the truth is, the Anglo-Saxon settlers brought their culture and their genetics here and that's all she wrote. The rest is undeniable.
So, when the "settlers" arrived even Mexico had up to 50,000,000 people. The Iriquois nation could command the resources of possibly 4 to 5 million. There were millions more all over the place.
Who told you the continent was empty?
Wishful thinking and nonsense.
Who told you that? Tony Villaraigosa?
Americans invented and developed those features of the modern world. Americans built the steel skyscrapers.
What Europeans and East Asians do is a pale imitation of the real thing.
Speak for yourself, sport. Not the way we see it.
...La Raza, MeCHa, and all the reconquista and "native" American groups will be deeply saddened. ...and will do their utmost to downplay the evidence.
Gee, really?
That number is commonly seen in discussions of the number of people in S America, pre-European landing.
Now, back to your theory that English speaking Europeans living in the Old World invented the skyscraper, the nuclear reactor, the airplane, the automobile, etc.
They didn't.
Elwood Haynes invented the automobile in Indiana. The Wright Brothers grew up in Indiana and invented the airplane in Ohio. Dr. Geiger invented the geiger counter in Indiana (thereby making it possible to find radioactive materials to touch off the nuclear age).
Getting real narrowly defined here, and noting that the first skyscraper was built in Chicago, I'd say that EVERYTHING worth having in the modern world was invented in a small part of the world where the dominant language was German, and it wasn't in Europe.
You guys are asking for a trip back home, if you know what I mean.
Cayley built gliders. The Wright Brothers invented the real thing ~ POWERED FLIGHT. Without them there are no airports. Without Cayley there are fewer wrecked gliders at the bottom of cliffs.
Recall that he claimed it for Mexico
You and your Arab Army gonna push us?
