A Second Look

Armed with better technology, archaeologists return to the resting place of North America’s oldest known inhabitant

Revisiting the past is never easy, and revisiting an old excavation site on a canyon wall makes for a particularly dicey trip.

Especially when it no longer exists.

Yet a recent return by scientists to the final resting place of Arlington Springs Woman, the oldest known inhabitant of North America, has provided a striking demonstration of new technology's power to restore the past and preserve it well into the future.

SNIP ( click here for entire article)

So far, he's obtained 16 dates from bone fragments, sediment, and charcoal samples. With a little help then, Arlington Springs Woman has been firmly bracketed between 10,850 and 11,200 radiocarbon years, meaning her ripe old calibrated age of 13,000 calendar years is increasingly secure. (Is this a yes?)

Oh, them, yeah....they were the Lemurians. They lived and Actually came from the continent of Lemuria, a counter part to Atlantis (Numenor?)only in the Pacific.
The decendants now live under Mt. Shasta.

"The oldest remains found in Washington or Oregon are those of Kennewick Man, a virtually complete skeleton found in July 1996 on the banks of the Columbia River in Kennewick, Wash. A radiocarbon date determined the remains to be about 9,300 years old; further testing is planned."

I believe that testing also conjectured that Kennewick man was a Caucasian. I ftrue, this theory would seriously compound all thought on the origin of man in this hemisphere.

Remember the STNG episode where Jean Luc was trapped in the past and they found his skeleton in the future?

That sure looks like him.

Strange. I don't remember hearing of George Carter. Rather amusing that they wouldn't listen to him, but gave all ears to Leakey, when they were offering the same type of evidence.

A long time ago I saw a book that claimed that modern man originated in California, 200,000 years ago.

There was a time when all new fads started in California.

I had a Czech engineering technician who would go ballistic anytime I would say something like, "I need a 110% effort on this project."

I have to admit that that is a peeve of mine too. :^)

What we need to do is send a spacecraft through a wormhole to a distance 13,000 light years from the earth with a really good telephoto lens to take a detailed picture of the earth as it appeared 13,000 years ago, and then send it back throught the wormhole to see who was where. :^)

Alas, no. But it is nice to know there are kindred spirits out there.

Re: your post #38

Spirit Space Man is, without a doubt, related to Kennewick man. Strong family resemblance!
