the first link is easier to see the ice extent but probably not as accurate as the second.

Abd there have been many ice ages!

We’re still in the last one, what you’re experiencing is a warming lull. We are in the Quaternary Period

” The Quaternary Period is typically defined by the cyclic growth and decay of continental ice sheets related to the Milankovitch cycles and the associated climate and environmental changes that they caused “

Give it some time for proper examination. Often these finds are found to be fakes.

Same thoughts. I’m a little doubtful of this for that reason. It looks to good to have been exposed that long in such a climate.

I’ve worked in the Colombian rain forest. Everything rots or rusts in no time. Even the sloths are green with algae.

Seruzawa: " 12,600 years? Not 12,700? how can they be so sure? "

There are many different methods for dating ancient materials, carbon-14 being the best known and good back to around 50,000 years.
All such methods are subject to errors and most at best produce approximate ages, plus or minus some percentage.

A few methods can, on occasion, produce exact dates, sometimes to the year and time of year.
On of those is counting ancient tree rings.
If careful study has already established sequences of wet & dry years, then newly found wood can be matched up to reveal the year & season of its cutting.

We are not told what method or combination of methods were used in this case.

Seruzawa: "Hint: Follow the string and you will discover what frauds anthropologists and archaeologists can be.
They literally just make stuff up. all too often."

They're not supposed to, and if one does, then peer-review is supposed to catch & correct it.
There's a lot of controversy over when, where & which humans first entered the Americas, and sometimes the rhetoric gets heated.
Traditionally it was said humans arrived circa 12,000 years ago, but today some have proposed dates of 40,000 or even 90,000 years ago.

I don't think anybody just made up their dates, but a lot depends on how evidence is interpreted & weighted.

Read the Book 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus. The different empires and tribes in the Amazon basin had created a veritable food warehouse in the Amazon which was destroyed by civil war just before Columbus arrived.

Look what the last 12000 years of global warming have done to the Amazon!

Lousy video and narration. Sounds like the narration is by a very nervous and timid 12 year-old. I just have no tolerance for this apologetic society or whatever it is that causes this kind of person in public.

Know what makes old men cynical? Experience.

The video is jerky. I’d like to see this exhibit but will have to look for something better.

I’ve always wondered why the glaciation advanced so much in central and Eastern N. America and then so little in the Western part of the continent and then so little in Europe and Asia.

Went to you tube and a search. It is a shame nobody has made a decent video of this. Just a bunch of shaky pictures being zoomed in and out. What a crock.

My inclination, after looking at this art work, is that it is the work of the same rascals that put up that “mysterious” metal marker discovered in the mountains last week...

Fake history news...

It’s easy to see how so many cultures evolved using pictograph characters instead of sound-representation characters.

Got to second your suspicions on this. Ochre still that vibrant after being applied to rock 12,500 to 11,800 years ago? What binder has that kind of holding power?
