"He worked with a team of researchers at Oxford University, who were able to successfully radiocarbon date a number of the animal bone fragments."

Radiocarbon dating is highly unreliable, and can be off by a high percentage of years.
But most respectable geologist know that.

Cool!

Arriving 16K years ago was quite a feat; seeing as original Creation was only 6K to 10K years ago.

Did the artifacts have “Made in China” on them?

I drove a 10,000 ton freighter up the Columbia River, I think it was in 1966.

Entering the Columbia River has always been a dangerous game for ships.

White Europeans were here first, and were genocided by Asiatics (so-called “native” Americans) who came later.

... and then somebody took their land ... and somebody took their land and x and y and z and a and b and c for 1000 cycles and then the Sioux took their land and then the western European took their land but the western European is bad and evil and should give it back to the last people who took someone's land.

Because you see only the 999th land taking people is entitled to it permanently, and they are victims, and the 1000th taker, who still has it only because he was the only one to be able to defend it (for now) is a pestilence.

ehhhh, no.

In Graham Hancock’s latest book, “America Before”, he mentions a mastodon bone that was found in San Diego county that was found planted in a vertical position in the ground as presumably some sort of marker. The bone was dated to around 130,000 years ago. The assumption is a human being put it there during the inter glacial between the last two ice ages.

Needless to say this is controversial.

The Indians are Japanese.

So we’ve got little islands of Japanese all over the country.

Good stuff, thanks.

This is what the Columbia River basin would have looked like 16,000 years ago.

So, the Indians stole the land from someone, and Caucasians conquered it and ‘stole’ it from Indians.
