The eror would have to be in the order of 100,000 years. I could see an error of 20 or 30 thousand, byt they tested repeatedly to have redundant accuracy.

We had hominids munching down on mammoths 100, 000 years ago, who the hell were they and where were they from?

A hunting party from Alpha Centauri or perhaps the Pleides? LOL.

Sitchin portrayed the Olmecs as rogue miners who formerly served the Nephilim, disobeyed them and went out on their own to inhabit South America and perhaps mine there in the Machu Picchu region.

That Sitchin Time line would likely fit the RC dating.

First question:

Where did all the ice go from that ice age in the san diego area?

Oh, that's right, the mastodon farts caused global warming.

I still can’t find my daughter’s little red sun hat - we lost it there probably 15 years ago! Fun little park!! (Except when she realized she lost her hat!)

“Whoever they were, they did nothing but walk and run.”

There was a TV show about a guy that lived in the woods of Washington state. He had a little bit of help from his friends, would do odd jobs for money, etc. But was mostly barefoot, wore buckskin, lived in a stump/cave during the winter, etc.

It’s been some years now, but he started walking away from the camera and the crew asked - where you going? (Obviously planned, but for the sake of entertainment...)

“I’m going to my niece’s wedding.”

“Your niece’s wedding? Where’s that?”

“California.”

“California! And you’re going to walk?!”

“Well, that’s all I do here all day long!”

I’m guessing it’s a mistake to assume there wasn’t a form of human life on that continent loooooooooong before the arrival of any homo sapiens...but they would have been a species such as Neanderthals, which were followed by Cro- Magnon man about 40,000 years ago, found in France.

130,000 years ago, if a mammoth was butchered and eaten, ‘in the new world’ who dunnit? I would want to see the skeleton remains of the eaters, not just the eaten.

A tusk was erected upright at the site. That’s a message.
Unfortunately they did not die where they ate. Time to scour any caves in the area.

Sitchin is to history as a journalist is to information.

He was an entertainer, not an historian.

I notice the article doesn’t tell us who ‘the early humans’ might have been. It’s BS imo.

In any case, my remark was to show that the “one mile a day” prehistoric chap as capable of covering far more ground on a daily basis if needs must.

Right; when they came across a location with good shelter, water, game and other food sources nearby, they might stay for a couple of generations, and the grandkids curious about the landscape over the next hill would explore and tell them "Hey, nicer over there, let's move".

Gigantopithecus is not extinct. He is Sasquatch, Bigfoot; rare but widely distributed over the northern hemisphere. The matching stories over hundreds of years from China, Russia, and North America can’t all be fairy tales.

But it's curious that they were so slow.

Easy (or easier, it's all relative) abundance slows down development (look at Africa). Survival needs quicken it. They developed the tools and skills needed for their environment.

They would have had plenty of time to get to the US prior to the last glaciation.
