I do believe some Native Americans have in their legends a long journey over ice. I'll see if I can track that back down. BTW: 12,000, or 17,000, or 30,000-these still fit "created them thousands of years ago." Sarge was correct. Land Bridge Three waves | |

Sorry Chris, looks like Johnney has come up with a seriously thread killer response... | |

It was Ice. Atlantic Ice. | |

I do believe some Native Americans have in their legends a long journey over ice. I'll see if I can track that back down. BTW: 12,000, or 17,000, or 30,000-these still fit "created them thousands of years ago." My point was not that this is how it happened. It is a theory that has been proposed and a lot of people accept. John: 1) The evolutionists? Sorry, I am pretty sure you're going up against anthropologists, not evolutionists. 2) You essentially stated we should pay attention to the oral traditions of the Native Americans. 3) Yes, some of their oral traditions state for as long as they have existed, they have existed on the American continents. This was bolstered as I did some searching last night, trying to track the other thing I thought I'd recently read, and this is the most important point: 4) I believe I recently read that some of the oral traditions indicate a migration over ice or water. That in fact some do not believe there were always here. If I cannot track this down soon, I will speak to my Cherokee acquaintance about different belief systems amongst Native Americans. Also, just as someone can give reasons why the idea that The Bering Land Strait was crossed may need to be suspect, so too the counterargument and underlying agenda may be regarded with skepticism. | |

It was Ice. Atlantic Ice. Have also heard this, and an attempt to refute that theory from 2006. | |

So here is a throwback to American history from about 60 years ago -- only this is going on now: | |

Ok guys, | |

Ok guys, Except that the first two seem to have observable evidence that has been linked for you. | |

Maybe they sailed in boats from Europe thousands of years ago and we just are not giving them credit They didn't jump in a ship and set sail to discover a New Land. Along an Ocean Ice Sheet is a veritable Food Factory. Trying to Survive, these people went along, possibly for years and years and years, until The Great American East Coast said, "Hello Fur Wearing Hairy Ones, Welcome". And this happened for 1000s of years. Same for The Pacific. Not Ice Sheet Tho. Along the Top Half of The Pacific is Another Food Factory. Much of it Kelp Forests. The People from China got in their boats, maybe they were Explorers/Adventurers, and set out North, then continued East, then South and into The Coastal Region of The Lower 48. As with The Europeans of 25 Millenia ago, these China Peoples could land anytime they wanted, due to proximity(within view of coast) anytime they wanted to. Which was probably nightly. It is not like A Great Sea Voyage. Although still with many dangers. This happened(China Boatmen) before Columbus and any other SeaFarers we consider "Discovers of The New World". But not before The Siberians long before. All this was done in small boats, very small boats. Follow The Tasties and Ye Shall Find New Homes.

Good stuff, much debate will follow for decades. | |

News items for first "Europeans" to land in North America. Martin, Listen both those articles are very good, its very credible science, and its being debated among very credible archaeologists and anthropologist's. These are people who have studied this stuff for years and years. So to anyone reading those articles who is not an expert, you would simple have to trust what they say is correct. After all, who really has the time and the money to go and check all their facts? Thats what i was like 6 years ago. I had a general interest in science, i read the articles, and i simply "trusted" that these "experts" had the correct story. After all, if the experts found a major flaw in the theory, they would tell us, wouldn't they? Seems they would NOT tell us! WELL NOT ANY MORE!! Now i don't trust anyone!! Not since i went off myself and actually started checking the facts. At first glance, you tend to trust a scientist. But when you thoroughly check the facts yourself, its then you find the holes! Great whopping big holes in their theories!! So no, i don't trust them. And no, i don't believe them either! As a science, ancient alien theory has a 1,000 times more credibility than any of their "stories". John. ____________ | |

Mr Guinness, Brig Klyce has been way ahead of you with Cosmic Ancestry for many years But when you thoroughly check the facts yourself, its then you find the holes! Great whopping big holes in their theories!! As many posters have said many many times Mr. Guinness: We are waiting for your Papers/Paper/Novel/Monograph/etc. to be published. Waiting.

Sorry Chris, looks like Johnney has come up with a seriously thread killer response... Oh I wouldn't say that! The land bridge, called Beringia, existed during the final period of the last Ice Age, about 15,000 years ago and was about 1000 miles long. The Clovis people spread quickly throughout the New World, populating most of North and South America in less than 1500 years. primitive men, women and children slowly crossing Siberia is completely outrageous! Walking at 2 mph for 4 hours a day, you could cover 1000 miles in less than 4 months ! | |

Sorry Chris, looks like Johnney has come up with a seriously thread killer response... At age 19, I was capable of walking at least 4 mph for at least 3-4 hours along the snowy eastern and norther shores of Lake Onondaga. | |

I was allowing for women and children Sarge, and making camp whilst the hunters went out for food. The point is that it took them 1500 years to colonise North America, so a couple of years crossing a small land bridge was nothing at all in the scheme of things. We do have evidence of the existence of this bridge, and Asian Genetics in American Indians. | |

Here in the USA we have many "Indians". You can still see the Asian look in their faces, Right here in Tennessee we see evidence of these tribes having lived here kong ago. The Mississippi Indians reached Tennessee and thrived about 1200 years ago. Fossils of Asian animals have been found that date to twelve to fifteen thousand years ago in the United states. | |
