The excavations at Meadowcroft rock shelter by Professor James Adovasio on July 13, 1974, then of the University of Pittsburgh, proved that an ancient culture lived in southwestern Pennsylvania in at least 14,000 BC, some 5,000 years before people were believed to have set foot in this hemisphere. His first word on receiving the radio-carbon dating report of his artifacts was, “Damn!” because he knew this would create a firestorm in the archeological establishment. The dominant paradigm at the time was that Clovis hunter/gatherers were the first to reach North America by crossing the Bering Strait land bridge around 9,000 BC. They supposedly followed herds of game south from Siberia to present-day Alberta and then spread across the Americas in a very short time. This outdated thesis has been thoroughly dismantled in the past few years.
Other historians believe that the continent of Australia was settled via sea routes from Asia about 45,000 years ago which led to the hypothesis that early immigrants to North America also sailed from Asia and were not dependent on an ice free corridor between the glaciers. Their boats could have sailed along the west coast of North America when sea levels were much lower and their ancient encampments may now be under hundreds of feet of water off of the shoreline.Accepting either of these two possibilities, the common belief was that no one followed until the Vikings about 1,000 AD. This 10,000 to 15,000 BC period of isolation is illogical. The new evidence proves that, once “discovered,” the Americas became a destination for habitation, trade, colonization and escape.Many cultural remains or lack thereof offer clues. There are no artifacts resembling North American projectile point in Siberia but spear-heads from 13,000 BC in France are very similar. Some American skeletons date to 9,000 BC and are not typically Asian. DNA analyses now prove the early entry of European people to the Americas by 18,000 BC. DNA evidence also shows later arrivals during the so-called “isolation” period.

The muslims say they discovered America before Columbus . The African Americans say they discovered America way before Columbus.
ReplyDeleteThe American Indians say they were the first Americans.
The Russians say they traveled over long ago and they were the first humans in America.
So what?
'So what?' you ask. Well, for one, we can finally drop the old schtick about how the evil Europeans stole the land from the true owners. Actually, they just stole it from an earlier group of thieves. The people that we refer to as native Americans may very well have assimilated, or usurped the land from, a more Euro-centric population that they found here. Mainstream science hates the 'Solutrean hypothesis', but it is worthy of consideration. Even if wrong, there are a lot of unanswered questions about pre-Columbian cultures. Interesting stuff.
ReplyDeleteThe Cult of Islam was founded 570 years after Christs birth.
ReplyDeleteArtifacts found fifty miles offshore and south of Ocean City were carbon dated to 11,000 years ago which puts the Muslim connection in the dubious claims circular file. Those artifacts closely resembled artifacts from Solutrea in Southern France which negates the African claim.
Russians? I wouldn't be surprised as Imperial minded as they are but the facts don't add up.
And stupid Obama says that there is much Muslim heritage in America. Can anyone name me one Muslim who fought in any war on the American side.
ReplyDeleteKareem Rashad Sultan Khan (born 12 February 1987 in Neptune, New Jersey, died 6 August 2007 in Baqouba, Iraq) was a Muslim-American U.S. Army Specialist who died in Operation Iraqi Freedom. He received a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart for his service. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
ReplyDelete10:13 Thanks for that info. Now name me one who fought in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, in WW1 or WW2. My comment was about heritage. Issues about Iraqi are not heritage. Heritage means history that gains respect. Go have some bacon.
ReplyDeleteThe NAAMP will get you !(National Association for the Advancement of muslim People)
ReplyDeleteNow hear this , The British used to have England , the people in Germany used to have Germany and so on , the muslims now have most of Europe including England and Ireland. They claim they were there first 5,000 years ago.
ReplyDeleteWhatca gonna do win da well runs dry?
1013, you can't use facts to sway these people. They live in a fantasy land.
ReplyDelete1108, clown the information you seek is so readily available that it is clear you would rather live in ignorant bliss spouting nonsense, than to actually learn something about the subjects you seem to feel so strongly about. Respect your intellect enough to put in an honest effort to learn.
Major Nidal Hasan - US Army psychiatrist. Devout Muslim. Killed 13 and wounded 32 others in a rampage at Ft. Hood, Texas. All while shouting "Allahu akbar!". Evidence of extremist leanings ignored by authorities. Not an isolated incident.
ReplyDelete>>>1013, you can't use facts to sway these people. They live in a fantasy land.<<< So, what exactly are you trying to prove to us uneducated rubes, 5:56? Are you suggesting Islam is a benign culture? Make your case. Math and current events kind of prove you wrong on that one, cupcake.
ReplyDelete5:56 You're correct you can't use facts and you're assuming 11:08 has enough brain power to seek out the info. Pigs(see the pun) like that can only spout off and show their lack of intelligence. Typical behavior of ultra liberals and ultra conservatives. They ask a question or make a statement then when someone provides an answer to the question or facts to refute a statement they say you read my question wrong or misinterpreted my statement.
ReplyDelete5:56 If Muslims are so important to our society why did Obama exempt them from Obamacare?
ReplyDeleteInteresting post,but tomorrow concerns all of us much more.
