  • On an island off the east coast of Maryland, a stone spearpoint sticking out of a coastal cliff stuns archaeologists. It asks a big question: Could humans have arrived in America 5,000 years earlier than we thought?

      It's really sad that some tribes here in the U.S. deny the science and hold to their creation myths which state that they were created in place or came out of the earth, etc. One would think they would embrace the heroic journeys the ancestors took, truly monumental undertakings over several thousand years. DNA evidence is pretty strong, indicating origins of several disparate population groups from Siberia, southern and southeastern Asia. We are all immigrants to this hemisphere!

    I grew up on the Chesapeake bay and as kids after the storms we would hunt for arrowheads on the beach, all kinds of thing would wash up on the South river from the bay. We would find really large blades that were completely different then the normal arrowheads. As kids we could tell that different people made the those large blades.

    Some scientists have suggested that hugging the edge of the Northern ice sheet (which was much farther south during the ice ages) and traveling west using kayaks, and hunting and fishing along the way, it may have been possible for stone age cultures to cross the Atlantic. The eastern native Americans tribes belief systems.seemed to have a lot in common with the ancient Celts.

      A discrete population arose from probably a lone pregnant woman or small group of people sailing or rafting across the atlantic from africa to south america 120,000+ years ago in a freak event. They later mixed with the native americans who came across beringia, then the vikings et al.

      The Inuit travel the North by hide covered boats from island to island and ice sheet to ice sheet so ancient people traveling from Europe to America along the edge of the ice sheet over the Atlantic is entirely possible. Fish and Seals would have been plentiful. It has been shown that mitochondrial DNA in eastern native peoples, Iroquois for one, have Caucasian DNA, DNA that has been present long before Columbus, at around 12,000 years ago. The settling of America is complex and not restricted to one race. After the Ice Age, trans Atlantic travel would be nearly impossible until much more modern sea faring techniques arrived.

    I placed this theory thirty years ago at Sheffield University. In the periods we know as "the Ice Ages" the ice was at least two miles high. The water came from the sea which exposed the continental shelf. Land compression and tilt fro the sheer weight of the ice would have cause "uplift" of more land mass making it possible for a European to America route possible. Of cause orthodoxy poo pooed the idea.

    What is new about this? The first Clovis point was discovered in Mexico in 1929. The only other place they've been found is the Chesapeake Bay and the coasts of France and the Iberian peninsula, with more or less the same date.
    It has long been suggested that there was a North Atlantic culture during the last ice age that encompassed the European and North American land mass following the ice sheet. No one has believed that the aboriginal inhabitants of the Americas came exclusively over the land bridge to present day Alaska for decades. Modern genome research has strengthened this hypothesis. The Asian American land bridge seems to account for a large part of human migration, but not all. South American genomes suggest Pacific seafarers from Southern Asia, not of Siberian stock landed there.

      Actually, when they say that they are referring to traces of Denisovans DNA.

    The person who wrote this script doesn't understand enough about science to interpret evidence.
    "They were here in Chesapeake Bay around 5,000 years earlier than humans were _supposed_ to have arrived in America."
    No, they were there 5,000 years earlier than humans were _known_ to have arrived in America. There was never any evidence (cite a paper if I'm mistaken) that humans hadn't been in North America earlier. The new evidence doesn't _contradict_ the old evidence. What it contradicts is the misunderstanding that lack of evidence of presence is equivalent to evidence of lack of presence. Read that last sentence as many times as it takes to absorb it. If you find the new evidence surprising, as the author of this script appears to do, then it's because you didn't understand the old evidence. If it "challenges everything you thought you knew..." then you shouldn't bother thinking you know things anymore; you don't.
    It's absolutely pathetic that the official Smithsonian channel does such a shit job of interpreting science for the public. Lest you think this is an unimportant gripe, consider the fact that public (mis-)understanding of science is (partly) responsible for public policy on fracking, construction of new spill-prone oil pipelines, defense against asteroid impacts, water scarcity, sea level rise, and a thousand others.
    Get it right, or shut the fuck up.

If you watch any "alternative" history or science video on TH-cam that involves missing evidence, the Smithsonian will nearly always be the party to blame, like a historical Men In Black.

    Dr. Dennis Stanford : the seven caves have been located in the superstition mountains a pre - Olmec jasper hand tool has been found at the site that could be matched to Clovis and Olmec stone tools .. the shaman stone is about two inches long and one inch wide ...it has 3 small holes and some kind of cutting shaping tool for making flute shapes ...? the site was most like for trading stone work .. it dates to around 25,000 BCE or older ... .IMHO ...the jasper is of the highest quality and orange reddish tan ..multi color the tool has some of the same features as the tools in La venta Mexico .....I found a 5 foot square block cube still hooked to the bed rock ... and some other signs of early culture being there ...I am plain my expedition 7 , the Chichimec codex shows the birth of Quetzalcoatl and the Olmec La venta museum dated the first stone showing Quetzalcoatl to be around 15,000BCE so we no for a fact the site is older then 15,000 BCE .and they quality of the stone work makes the site at least 20,000 BCE if not 25,000 BCE ...here is the real kicker ... sir .. the rare jasper has super fine wire gold in it , if this tool was made from the catacombs that I believe are under the seven caves then it means the cloves points were being trade from the seven caves to other tribes .....

      There's a lot more that has been found besides those spear points in the exposed layers.

Most of the habitation sites are probably on the continental shelf, a few miles from the mainland.

    Sea levels as low as 300 feet may have exposed islands throughout the Pacific other than those we see today.
    Certainly more of the Galapagos would have been visible, perhaps others, somehow people made it to the Hawaiian islands, it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to think of ice being farther up in the South helping natives to migrate over both ice and more exposed islands.
    Just 100 feet drop in sea levels may have exposed enough for passage via more islands and there was a 300 drop for a time.
    Migration that way could have allowed settling in Mexico and the Caribbean areas then up into the Chesapeake Bay area well before those who migrated south from the land bridge.
    They may have beaten those who would have faced ice and the prevailing winds of the Atlantic to the Chesapeake Bay area.
    Speculation on my part.

    This isn't new! Twelve years, ago pre-Clovis points were found on the east coast, mainly Maryland, that dated to more than 20 thousand years ago. European seafarers, skirting the edge of the then ice sheets that extended down the east coast of America, across the Atlantic to Europe, allowed them to colonize the "New World". Clovis stone point technology began in Europe, southern France and Spain, and was further refined in the Americas. Human exploration at the time contributed to the development of peoples we now call "Native Americans".

She was vilified and kicked out of the archaeological community as a result, showing just how "open-minded" scientists really can be. This anomaly has STILL not been resolved! This suggests that there were hominids in Central America BEFORE the accepted Bering Strait land bridge crossing and even long before modern man supposedly migrated out of Africa.
