FYI.

Perhaps we should blame these Native Americans for the ecological problems that FLA is having with their water system. They ruined the environment...

[Rodney King]

The pond also has a mysterious astronomical alignment that is found in other Native American sites – it is 20 degrees west of north.

How can a pond be 20 degrees west of north?

[bmwcyle]

How dare they disturb the mother Earth. That must have been their downfall. (HAHA)

[headsonpikes]

Any chads show up in the excavation?

This must be the definitive set of information, prooving that Florida's voters intended to vote for Gore, give him the victory.

According to the DNC, this district (Canal System precinct) is heavily democrat, and would have voted for Gore, had they not been prevented from voting by discriminatory requirements, implemented by rich Republicans.

In yet another such move, the rich Republicans have established rules, that voters must still be living. "This is unfair," claims the DNC. "In most other states, democrat votes still count, long after the voter is dead."

I guess next, all Floridians who live along the route of this "canal" will be kicked off their lands as it will be taken for historic purposes.

1,700 years old and made in 700 AD? That doesn't add up unless I've passed through some time warp recently.

bttt

The EPA wants to dig these people up and sue them for unauthorized tampering with OUR water.

ancient Indians, now extinct

That saves the archeologists from answering any questions

[razorback-bert]

ancient Indians, now extinct

I(and the VRWC) am probaly going to get blamed for this too.

Carr estimates that hundreds of Native Americans lived in this area and used handmade tools of wood and shell to dig out millions of yards of sand and soil.

These discoveries are fascinating, or could be, if it weren't for the overeducated PC morons who insist on feeding us speculation instead of just the facts.
Native Americans? I don't think so; at least none in the form normally accepted.
Those technologically regressed savages devolved over a thousand years?
Yeah right. Makes sense.

I lean toward the simpler, more rational explanation.
Settlements from visitors who came and went.
Or were killed off by the useless "native americans".

You can tell if there were Democrats running the canal if they found a toll both at either end.

ORTONA – Archaeologists on Thursday said they have uncovered a sophisticated 1,700 year-old canal system and a huge pond dug by ancient Indians near this tiny town, located west of Lake Okeechobee.

Neolithic corporate thugs detroying the environment PING!

[DManA]

Wonder why they were digging canals? Certainly not for irrigation since there's plenty of natural rain in Fla. Draining the swamps?
