“ suggesting that people may have arrived long before the Ice Age’s glaciers melted”

And that’s how global warming began 🤪

Maybe they can figure out who the Indians stole this land from.

But what race were they? That’s the important fact. The continent , rivers, oceans, mountains and lakes were stolen from the original settlers and should therefore be restored to their racial descendants 23,000 years later. Everyone else needs to pay rent or get out. Isn’t that how it works?

Native American tribes have legends about people who populated this land before their own tribes arrived here. They are sometimes called “the Old Ones.”

If you look at a map of the Pacific Ocean, there are several underwater mountain ranges that were probably wholly or partially above water at some point. One stretches from Siberia to South America. Maybe these people travelled to South America (and places like Hawaii) by island-hopping when parts of these mountain ranges were above water?

The 'kelp highway' theory has been around for sometime.

How many times were they told to cover their tracks so things like this would’t be discovered?

I must say though their prints have an odd pattern.

Possible, but not necessary. Asians could have come to the Americas without venturing out over the Pacific. All they needed to do was continue along the shore--coming ashore to camp overnight or for a few days--and then continuing.

By following the shoreline they eventually could have traveled to the coast of Peru, for example.

Fidem scit.

When the French came into North America below Canada in the 1700`s they wanted to build a fort. They asked the Indians if there was a source of rocks that they could blast out with black powder and carve up for stone blocks to build their fort. The Indians said.."You do not have to blast nor carve.. Come, we will show you a cliff that has been blasted out before our ancestors arrived here." The Indians took the French to a blasted out cliff face 300 feet high.,

There was a "hill of stones" blocks some 6-12 feet long, 3-4 feet wide strewn in a pile nearby. I heard this story handed down in my family when I was 8 years old.. I climbed on this hill of stone blocks when I was a kid. It was then only 40 feet high and several hundred feet long. The "hill of stones" appears on a British map of 1759. The stones I saw and clambered over had very smooth faces and very sharp edges almost like knife edbges coz you coulod cut yourself on them. On two streets here the houses have some of these stone blocks as their foundations. One man dug a foundation fior a deck and found scores of hese stone blocks. They were dug up and transported 4 miles to be used as the wall for a dam at the golf course. Evidently the French used these blocks to build several forts on those streets. The fort outlines can be seen on 1750`s British maps.
