Archaeologists Made an Unbelievable Discovery at the Bottom of the Sea 

Haplogroup X was identified in small numbers of Native Americans; specifically in the Maritime Provinces and Saint Lawrence region. Evidence does exist of transoceanic capability; it's called the Archaic Maritime Culture, and was discovered along the Penobscot River. The prevalence of Red Ochre burials, and the polished slate harpoon heads, hooks, and awls for woodworking prove it.

AG, what happened to the video "Anthropologist Collected Nearly 1000 Human Skulls"? I can no longer find it. Thanks.

@@jameswells554 The "Peopling of the Americas" is being re-written as we sit here on our asses typing. This movie is just getting started. It is full of surprises and unsung heroes and some incredible feats. Everyone who poses as an "expert" today will look like a pompous fool in the future. These will be some of the greatest stories of mankind, and nobody knows what they are today. And the people who think that they know who they are today, will be forced to face the fact that we are all each other. So that will be pretty cool.

It's a pity that these fascinating subjects have been hijacked by fringe groups of white supremacists as well as some of the more radical AmerIndian spokespersons, who try to insert their political messages into totally legit scientific discussions! What happened to the AmerIndians after the voyages of a certain Christopher Columbus - whose real name and origins are still somewhat of a mystery btw - introduced and established frequent transatlantic sea voyages to the American continents, is a tragedy of epic proportions for the people who populated the Americas at the time of Columbus' arrival. We cannot even begin to imagine how terrible it must have been when complete AmerIndian societies were destroyed by oppression, warfare and contagious diseases, which might've claimed up to 90 percent of some indigenous populations and annihilated their culture. Even the Great Plague waves of the Middle Ages didn't claim so many lives in Europe. But this human tragedy doesn't become somehow less important and less tragic if the direct direct Asian ancestors of today's AmerIndians have indeed not been the first humans who set their feet on the American continents. And even if groups who came from Asia to the Americas, wiped out or replaced a small population, which may have arrived earlier, this should not influence our opinions about the far more recent history of AmerIndians and their clashes with Spanish or Portuguese conquistadores and other European immigrants. And there is no reason for white supremacists to rejoyce if people who came from the Eurpoean continent, were indeed the first humans who reached the Americas. But this early migration would have happened at a time when "European" as a cultural and genetic group identity didn''t even exist, and these people might not even have been white. It's also ludicrous to argue that land claims which are based on treaties which have been made in the 19th century, should be less valid because the genetic ancestors of today's Amerindians might not have been the first humans who reached the Americas. Another vexing problem is the lack of openmindedness of scientists who hate to question and, if necessary, abandon established scenarios, and who are not willing to accomodate new discoveries, but ridicule colleagues who try to discuss new evidence. The clovis-first scenario has become highly unlikely by now, but there are still scientists who don't want to let go of their convictions. And too many anthropologists still underestimate the sea faring capabilities of our early ancestors, although it's obvious that humans must have used water routes as soon as they started to migrate out of Africa!

@@sabineb.5616 funnily enough the oldest AMH remains are not found in Africa, but in Europe and Asia. There has never been any proof of AMH developing in Africa; but instead the genetics are more suggestive of a move into Africa and a later cross with a Ghost species (within the last 10k year period) not found amongst Europeans or Asians. Yeah. They fucked a monkey. Sub Humans.

On so many levels, the freedom to discuss different hypotheses and possibilities is important, and eventually the good ideas from of old are verified. His attempts were not in vain!

There is a theory I learned in university that the Clovis culture for thousands of years was based in the eastern United States (seemingly centered in Delaware), and only sent hunting parties out west. There is some thought that they thrived on fishing, and hunting big game was a secondary food source. That idea is not popular, 'cause then it would not support the idea that Clovis was responsible for the mass extinction at the Younger Dryas (which is a horribly outdated theory, but it still lingers on).

That’s fascinating, Robert! I hope that Your Friend properly documents his finds, and that there will be an open-minded Archeologist/Team who can/Will champion (and publish) those findings! This certainly seems plausible to Me. The Scientific Community (and Humanity) is so hampered by unwillingness to consider new theories. Perhaps You could put him in-touch with Those involved in the studies behind this video??? Thank-You for sharing!!!

@@shelleymcafee8197 - I wish I could do that but I met this guy in 1976 at a hamburger joint. I do not remember his name, but I did get to see about two dozen or so points and scrappers.

You may be interested in this or already aware of it, but The Ojibwa are likely Jaredite, and crossed the Atlantic from Babel at the time of Jared. Jaredite from the Book Of Either. Kennewick Man is one of these people.

I believe all Algonkin peoples are descended from the Solutreans who mixed with the populations that came out of Beringia in Alaska.

Very, very interesting. It seems the Americas were peopled by many different groups of people. I think when it is all figured out, it will be a less-than simple story but one that is a rich tapestry of migration and discovery. What I do not understand is that indigenous peoples like the Ojibwe are not listened to.

Tad Blackington - Somewhere I read that in his youth Christopher Columbus made a trip to what is now England where he either heard of or actually saw a North American native who was found heading east in a kayak. Supposedly, over many years several had been found. From this story or actual encounter he surmised there was a land as to the west of Europe. This, coupled with the stories passed around by the Vikings, was part of his story to the King and Queen of Spain as he tried to get them to underwrite his voyage west to ‘Asia’. When I was stationed in Panama in the early 1970’s I attended a lecture presented by an archeologist who stated he had found ancient boat anchors of the type used by Chinese fishermen thousands of years ago. He was promoting the idea North America was populated by East Asians who had arrived by boat. As part of his lecture he went so far as to state evidence had been found in eastern South America of African natives who probably came to the ‘New World’ via boat. He did not show any slides or artifacts to support this comment. I think what it all boils down to is the fact we still do not know who populated North and South America first and that we will need more investigations. I look forward to what comes up.

Sweet potatoes were found in Polynesia, so it's known that they came (possibly from S. America)

I appreciate that!

Lots of evidence that doesn't fit the official approved narrative of history being found or re examined. The modern day idea of social justice or whatever it's called being used to shut down legitimate scientific inquiry is kinda played out. The race card doesn't work anymore. Been used to often.

Drawdown would give you a few miles each end of a trip - unimportant if you dont know how the long the Atlantic crossing would be anyway! The initial 'voyage' would likely be accidental - unexpected land seen to the west ... lets check it out. If the ice fringe could keep them alive OK the could go a long way to the west, but i ma not sure anyone has modelled what it might have looked like

@@keithtinkler4073 The theory posted implied that there was extensive ice shelves to use.

Some archeologists believe it was Phoenicians visiting Olmecs, may explain the Tale of Quetzalcoatl (Carthaginians / Phoenicians also practiced human sacrifice)so it would make sense they had some contact

A number of Roman amphoras were found off Rio de Janeiro though the Brazilian government later buried them. Mustn't think anyone but the Portuguese discovered Brazil.

Probably better to investigate the huge middens that have over time been incorporated (but now exposed due to erosion) in the large sand 'banks' along the south shore of the Corsica River off the Chester River (Chesapeake Bay) in Maryland..... that's quite near Oyster Point where the 23,000 y/o solutrian 'point' was found.

isolated error, get over it.

No food on top of the solid ice cap. The ice would be too thick. The Solutreans could only forage along the edge of the ice where seals and fish were accessible. It might be a shorter distance over the polar area, but it wouldn't matter if the people would starve to death along the way. Maybe if they already knew exactly how long it would take, they could bring enough food, but if they were depending on forage along the way it wouldn't be possible.

Little chance of survival, also the ice caps were ginormous, they'd have to do an insane level of climbing down ice to get into the green "valleys"

You can cross over the Polar Ice, it's been done several times. Bring a sled full of food and maybe some dogs and if you have to, be prepared to eat your dead friends and be prepared to kill and eat Polar bears or hunt seals through their breathing holes and you're in. Eskimos have been living in the high arctic Canadian Islands (Ellesmere Island, for example) for thousands of years, having babies and doing just fine. You could take a high arctic route "across the top" or your could take a "low" route skirting the ocean ice edge. A Japanese guy did it solo, all on his own eating dried caribou meat. It's totally do-able. Plus, people were much tougher back then, before couches were invented. It can be done, it has been done. Why don't people mention it? Because the academic field that deals with these things is super-petty and territorial and tribal and jealous and don't get out in the real world enough. They sit at desks and try to figure out how to teach less and publish more. Sacred cows are still worshipped. They love attacking each other's work with skepticism and sowing doubt. Screw them and screw their politics. We're people too. It's our history, it does not belong to them.

@@zipperpillow Like I said, if they knew how long the trip would take, maybe it would be possible to cross the ice cap. I think the trip along the edge of the ice is more probable. If nothing else, it was not as cold further south.

@@Mishn0 Cold isn't a problem. Cold is better than warm. Cold is dry, so your clothes don't get wet with water and sweat, plus your boots stay dry in cold snow. Warm, wet snow and you move slower, mushier traction, wet boots, wet clothes.....wet is very dangerous for hypothermia. Cold is better. Plus meat stays frozen and doesn't rot. Thawed meat doesn't last very long before it starts getting green and rotting, so cold is better for food too. If you eat raw meat, you don't need cooking fires and fuel, so you can travel further every day. Cold is good.

20,000 years ago nobody knew what a European, Englishman or American was. Everyone were just hunter-gatherers.

Bingo. Speaking for myself, I'd go by, "Man the constant Explorer". The whole world is my home.

The mummies are from the Tarim Basin, which is a super-dry desert in the middle of the Eurasian continent as far from water or coastlines as you can be. The mummies migrated from Europe before they became mummies.

But...if you love the taste of raw seal, why leave the ice?

@@zipperpillow the seals went south to the spanish coast and solutrean hunters followed because less animals on landside

@@elkefaber8873 We watched the same movie, and listened to the same hypothesis. You could also get there hunting whales/following whale migrations, or just get storm-tossed there if you were on a boat, even a kayak will do. It's not at all far-fetched.

@@zipperpillow inuit in Kajaks from greenland were seen on faröer and Scotland Coast, they called them finnmen

@@elkefaber8873 Yes, I know. The Irish have legends about 1/2 seal, 1/2 human water-creatures called "silkies". These were actually Eskimos, who climbed out of sealskin kayaks, wearing sealskin clothes with sealskin hoods....so they looked 1/2 seal.

Good one.

Hello there!

Very good points!

There is a book, American Discovery Of Europe, which makes this point. Jack Forbes is the author. Makes good points.

I remember reading a few years ago (10?) that the Ojibwa tribe in Canada showed an ancient European gene that derived from Stone Age Europe.

@@TheSteveRobinson The American Journal of Human Genetics Volume 63, Issue 6, December 1998, Pages 1852-1861 Summary On the basis of comprehensive RFLP analysis, it has been inferred that ∼97% of Native American mtDNAs belong to one of four major founding mtDNA lineages, designated haplogroups “A”-“D.” It has been proposed that a fifth mtDNA haplogroup (haplogroup X) represents a minor founding lineage in Native Americans. Unlike haplogroups A-D, haplogroup X is also found at low frequencies in modern European populations. To investigate the origins, diversity, and continental relationships of this haplogroup, we performed mtDNA high-resolution RFLP and complete control region (CR) sequence analysis on 22 putative Native American haplogroup X and 14 putative European haplogroup X mtDNAs. The results identified a consensus haplogroup X motif that characterizes our European and Native American samples. Among Native Americans, haplogroup X appears to be essentially restricted to northern Amerindian groups, including the Ojibwa, the Nuu-Chah-Nulth, the Sioux, and the Yakima, although we also observed this haplogroup in the Na-Dene-speaking Navajo. Median network analysis indicated that European and Native American haplogroup X mtDNAs, although distinct, nevertheless are distantly related to each other. Time estimates for the arrival of X in North America are 12,000-36,000 years ago, depending on the number of assumed founders, thus supporting the conclusion that the peoples harboring haplogroup X were among the original founders of Native American populations. To date, haplogroup X has not been unambiguously identified in Asia, raising the possibility that some Native American founders were of Caucasian ancestry.

@@loquat44-40 Well, I was off by a few years but I did remembering reading something about this European Stone Age gene.

North Sea yes 🤓

Nah. It definitely happened. Over and over again. Some one saw clouds over an island way out in the distance, or saw a volcanic plume rising up way, way out there, or watched the migration of birds flying towards there or from there, or saw it in a mushroom-vision when he turned into a fish and swam the ocean, and that dude said to his buddy, "Hey man, you wanna go check that out?" Exactly the same way all great adventures have always started. The findings are real, they're not forgeries, there is sufficient evidence already to justify seeking more evidence in DNA and underwater at the ocean-edge outlets of rivers on the continental shelf, where these people might have camped. More proof is out there, it's just a matter of finding it. There's no shortage of armchair critics and academic nay-sayers, but they've always been in the majority. Young men have made this trip, you can be sure.

@@zipperpillow 3,500 miles across an ice shelf is a long ways, and I don't know a distinct volcano plume is discernible from that distance based on earth's curvature. But bird migration is a strong point, especially if unfamiliar species suddenly show up, such as the Galapagos example. Whatever the case evidence suggests such a human migration failed to establish permanent colonization because genetics show no pre-clovis purely European legacy. Some folks still believe in Bigfoot, and I would agree such a notion is far more exciting than some boring intellectual using minimum viable population to debunk the myth. God is very real to some and others not so much, ya know?

@@jasonborn867 yes, yes, of course, but where's your sense of adventure? Don't get impressed by the mileage, it's a day-by-day horizon, in reality. You can see Icelandic volcano plumes from Europe and that can last for weeks, so that's enough to get you started, just ask St. Brendan or the Norse colonists who did exactly that. Did you know that you can milk seals? It's like a DairyQueen soft-serve, super-thick and rich. Totally worth the trip. Naomi Uemura walked it alone, in the late 1970's I think. Others have done it as well. Greenland has been crossed, lots of times. Also, use your imagination. What about a pre-iceage eskimo-like, marine mammal-hunting population coming from Scandinavia or the Baltic, whose DNA has yet to be identified? Evidence of their camps would be wiped out by later glaciers, but their populations could have moved south as the ice advanced, and now there is a population in the Americas with the place to themselves. There's lots of ways to get here, and no time limit. People have done way harder things than walk across snow, or paddle across water. It's not as hard as you're thinking it is.

@@zipperpillow Not sure how old you are, but it seems the older I get and less testosterone available my sense of adventure diminishes while skepticism increases lol. But you know it's not completely gone as I did acknowledge your bird migration point. That said, some need only a few dots connected to believe a premise (like Bigfoot or Santa) while others require more dots to conclude a likelihood. And while I do believe imagination is important I value skepticism even moreso. There's some incredibly good yarn spinners out there who prey on the gullible, and certainly someone is easily brainwashed with limited information. Bottom line is I'm not saying a 3,500 mile ice sheet trek is impossible, but I personally would need more evidence before making a case the voyage was likely or true beyond reasonable doubt. Let's assume the trek was probable, and therefore not just available to a single exploratory party but rather numerous individuals were capable of making such a journey. Taking it a step further since folks could make the journey in one direction they likewise could return for other family with stories of untold resources and abundant game. And because the promise of a better life awaited others were willing to make the trip. Soon many have made the journey, and because of the rich resources a permanent population was established that still persists today--but genetics disproves this notion. So what we're left with is: a) a founding party so small that over-inbreeding caused its extinction, b) resources were inadequate and the party starved out, or c) they didn't find the new land hospitable and returned home. It's also possible some wild beast ate the party, thus explaining why they never took root. None of these scenarios sound very plausible, but SOMETHING must explain why this founding population didn't survive yet Native Americans thrived. It's logical to believe humans knew the danger of mating with direct family members, and this would suggest any founding population would be at least large enough to minimize inbreeding. Now I know it's somewhat exciting to imagine a small founding party romanticizing the sense of adventure, but the greater odds are small groups of people slowly expanding over need for new territory and fresh game. For example, why would a single founding party travel all the way to South America when they could resettle 100 miles away with new land? Now I would agree once technology permitted vast ocean voyages folks might adventure purely for exploration, but with limited numbers still returned to home base for more supplies and people to establish a colony. In summary, I'm not saying such a journey was impossible, but rather I just need more connecting dots to believe such a proposition. The same would hold true for Bigfoot, friend.

Queen Scotia of Ireland/Scotland was Egyptian

OR.......was it the other-way-around? America has pyramids too.

I was thinking the bulbous head would be good for slamming into things. Does that sound gay? Do you think the Solutreans were gay?
