A new settlement has been discovered by researchers from the Hakai Institute, University of Victoria and local First Nations members, and it changes everything scientists thought they knew about early civilization in North America. The 14,000-year-old village contains artifacts that date all the way back to the Ice Age and is believed to be one of the oldest human settlements ever uncovered in North America. It’s even suspected to be older than the Giza pyramids!
As IFL Science reports, the discovery lines up with the oral history of the Heiltsuk Nation. For generations, stories have been handed down that tell of an ancient coastal village. William Houston of Heiltsuk Nation told CTV News Vancouver Island:
“To think about how these stories survived all of that, only to be supported by this archaeological evidence is just amazing.”
Artifacts from the village were discovered on Triquet Island, approximately 310 miles northwest of Victoria, Canada.

Ancestors of Bob & Doug McKenzie, Eh? ;)
THEY WERE SOLUTREANS AND THEY WERE WHITE.
How on earth could they KNOW that these artifacts are 14,000 years old?

Sorry for the caps; just a play on the title of a book about Irish slaves in the Caribbean called “They Were Slaves and they Were White”.
Ah jeez, what a pantload of BS. Those people are Neolithic, and lack a written language.
Apples and Oranges.
Are they saying that the village is an engineering marvel equal to the pyramids?
I’m guessing they use radiocarbon dating.
I want to know how all that stuff gets buried so deep in the ground over time.
There were apparently a number of migrations to the North American continent, and not all of them necessarily from the Asian land bridge. Some of the very early waves may have been from across the Pacific Ocean, landing in Central and South America, and eventually spreading to the Tierra de Fuego in the southern tip of Chile, and the Amazon rain forest. There may also have been a migration starting in Europe, crossing by small craft skirting the edge of the polar ice cap, in an arc from perhaps present-day Scotland, the south tip of Greenland, and ending in the Maritime provinces of Canada, and thence southward and westward. Also many millennia before Lief Ericsson.
What are euphemistically called “New World Indians” are really a very diverse people, genetically and by place of origin.
They found a newspaper dated 12000 B.C..

They’re still digging. Who knows what they might find.
Maybe an ancient KOA Campground?
“They found a newspaper dated 12000 B.C..”
That’s the last time that the MSM had any integrity.

Reminds me of a stunt Bubba pulled when proof that an Indian tribe in California was NOWHERE near the first group to settle in the area and the first “tribe” was WHITE. He had the area buried under tons of concrete and declared a federal park to preserve the lie. Democrats are very good at preserving and perpetuating lies.
There was an expiry date on one of the twinkie packages they found. Simple math - just minus 2000 years to get the approximate date of sale.
:-) They probably would still be edible.

Paleo people.
They’re European. They went for some Chinese take out and took a wrong turn at Vladivostok.
