In the summer of 1989, Kelly Rock Limited constructed an access road across the old fire access area and further on out along the mountain. They were proposing to develop a large ocean-side aggregate quarry at the Kelly’s Mountain area. This was one of the roads they constructed to carry on drill testing of the rock quality of the mountain and to carry on various other testing such as ground water well monitoring. Kelly Rock Limited rebuilt the old fire access road to the small fire pond of the 1968 fire, constructed new roads west of the old fire sites and cleared the ground with bulldozers in order for the consulting engineers and other professionals to set up monitoring drill well sites at the locations Mr. Chiasson reports these in his book to be ancient courtyards of a village related to the alleged Chinese city. Details of this construction work along with the archaeological report prepared at the time are contained in the Environmental Assessment Report prepared by Nolan, Davis and Associates, dated November 1989 and registered with the Nova Scotia Government. In my employment with the Province of Nova Scotia I monitored this project. For this article I have consulted with Lynn Baechler MSc.. who was the hydro-geologist on this project. These new roads and drill sites do not appear in the aerial photography until the 1993 flight line.
if the Chinese were there, and the Miqmaqs were there at the same time (connections between scripts), a simple DNA would show a connection regardless of what the geologists think
+Tom Steele tom the closest i've heard of Chinese and Mik'maq is a ceramonial head dress that dates back about 1000 yrs ago or so is of chinese origin with the figures and all on it.
Are you forgetting that you live on the East Coast ? Why would there be a Chinese settlement on the East Coast of Canada before there was one on the West Coast?? they would be coming from the Pacific not the Atlantic. We have maps of where Chinese explorers did go, and though they explored and settled in many places, they sure as hell didn't do it in the America's. Also, who would think that a settlement established by seafarers would be up in the mountains rather than on the sea ??? "Hey guys I know we just literally crossed half the planet in old wooden ships, but lets skip setting up a seaside dock settlement and walk a couple miles in land and climb these mountains instead, that's where we will settle" Who the hell buys this shit??
there was no settlement at all in the area he speaks of. search google for "no chinese ruins cape breton". there is a CBC article explaining that this is not true.
It is difficult to understand how a supposedly well-educated person could be so obtuse to continue to believe that Chinese people settled in Cape Breton. Again, it is to insult the indigenous people who lived there thousands of years by saying their cultural attributes could only have been influenced by a "higher culture" instead of it being their own. It insults the expertise of the experts he consulted by saying they are deluded or delibetately lying to him. Not to mention defying any logic.
@@hughnicholson6829 I guess by “woke” you mean knowable about history. I’m sorry that knowledge and awareness frightens you so much and triggers you. Grow up.
I first heard about this a few years ago from Gavin Menzies (Briitsh retired admiral who wrote "1421" claiming that the Chinese were there before Columbus, and thereby upset lots of narrow minded and biased academics. This is really the proof now and not sure why it is not big news yet?
Because it is not factual. The "great wall" is a fire break that was bulldozed on the mountain top during a forest fire in 1952. The "second village" consists of cleared areas and roads developed in the 1990s by Kelly Rock Ltd. to test for a proposed quarry there. Chiasson fails to mention the plastic pipes in the centre of each "courtyard," which were used to check water levels. These are well documented events, and any local could have told Chiasson about them. the book is full of similar errors and misinterpretations. There are no carefully constructed platforms, the stones are from naturally fragmented bedrock. On top of that, there are no artifacts, none at all, to show a Chinese presence. People need to stop hauling out the boogieman of "narrow-minded and biased academics" when experts refute outlandish claims. Challenge and change are a constant and welcome part of academic discourse, but only where thoughtful and well researched ideas are presented. This programme is a waste of time.
Yes, simple DNA tests would show. I definitely can see it in some families... I'm only 50% My father not native. My grandfather from Eskasoni and his parents. 1906 I believe be was born. I know this is further way up the line. You never know. I'd love to find out more.

Who the hell buys this shit??
Any idea where to watch or buy this documentary??
it's some where in that area, between cheticamp and cape north
Wonder how it looks today. FIONA last Sept caused lots of erosion and knocked trees down. Probably much different. Hopeful no wild fires.

Well if CbC says it must be true right lol
Im mikmaw Im sure rolling my eyes
Rick Marshall I’m not mikmaw and I’m rolling mine with ya
The Vikings landed in Nova Scotia that much is fact. We’ve discovered artifacts all along the shores. The Chinese? G’way B’ye.
Indian Graves, we have rock mounds on my rez. Just secret 🤷♂️
now we know why Bretoner mikmaqs are so short :-P
not all I am 5 11 and my dad and brother are 6 3
ahhh. Cause I had herd that it was on Kelly's.
is that Kelly's Mountain??
this is junk lmfao If you're a Cape Bretoner. You know the "Mi'kmaq" were here before everybody else. Love being a Bretoner!
YEah I know :) I live in Cape Breton :P

Completely agree.... story turned out to be nothing anyways they didn’t find fuck all
"thousands of years" sounds like more Woke BS.

The miqmak were here first then the French, a couple Spaniards then the Irish
@@Bigj-bf4mn No one is saying the Mi'kmaq were not there first. I think you forgot the fact the Scots and English arrived as well.
The mysterious ruins are in my underwear

You need to look at Gavin Menzies nonsense writing. Chiasson is following his lead.
Turned out to be bullshit
@RenaRoo123 Yes
Since the "indigenous" people are of Asian origins and walked here from Asia, it does not defy logic at all.
Rubbish
