NOTE TO LIBERAL RACE BAIT'ers

Those damn White Europeans ☺ Norse settlers were active in the Eastern Americas as early as 1021AD. 400+ years before those Mediterraneans in 1492.

But of course what we now call Native America Indians, arrived earlier around 15,000 years before all of them.

I wonder whom or what the Native America Indians displaced? ☺

#2 based on DNA evidence, most in the field think there were multiple migrations from Asia to N.Am.

the 'native Americans' undoubtedly did their share of displacing/exterminating their predecessors

#3 Beware of the 'Indigenous Lobby' if you find anything creditable prior to the 'Last' migration ~15,000-YO (the ONLY TRUE one in some indigenous circles).

Seem to remember a real sh*tstorm when some poor archeologist found carbon dated evidence of a 40,000-YO settlement in South America.

I also think there was another site found on the East Coast of the US somewhere that was even older, but suppressed by the aforementioned group-think.

#2 LG - Agreed ... I have read several research papers showing the Russia-Alaska Land Bridge (Beringia) may have allowed migration multiple times in the last 25,000+ years.

#6 I remember snickering when they finally starting deciphering the Mayan glyphs. Out: Pacifistic Pot smoking stargazing numerologists. IN: warmongering human sacrificing people (King 'Two Rabbit' burned this city and took a bunch of war captives...).

#7 For all that Rousseau called Indians "noble savages", the accent is on savages.

#8 From Wikipedia

Mound Builders
A number of pre-Columbian cultures are collectively termed "Mound Builders". The term does not refer to a specific people or archaeological culture, but refers to the characteristic mound earthworks erected for an extended period of more than 5,000 years

See these tribes and groups are just lumped together in the leftist Wikipedia...no one seems to think of dividing out the various settlements and who knows they could have been here far longer than 5-20K years

#9 In the summer of 2015, a team of archaeologists in Utah found duck bones and charred plant matter just beneath the ground, in an arid stretch of northwestern Utah now known as the Wishbone site. The team realized it was an open-air hearth, some 12,000 years old, and now the same group has reported their discovery of tobacco seeds on the site.

#11 A verrrry old man of Tijuana
Once tried to eat Nicotiana.
He filled his whole boca
From a bowl of N. glauca,
Turned green, and... "I think that I'm gonna
be... [ick] Dame -- quick! -- marijuana."
