Absolutely. More and more is finally seeping though the arrogant egotistical control filter. I will fully take your back with your ideology because it has been my own for years also.
Things like “The Vikings could never have been in the Great Lakes because they could not have gotten their boats there”.
Really? They did not know how to walk on land at all? Or build another boat as needed from local trees after they walked the very short distance to the Great Lakes? They were always in too much of a hurry and didn’t have time to do this?
The one who claimed this was the President of a Maritime Historical Organization and the foremost expert. He also went on to say...
“They would have had to tow extra boats from their home port “shipyards” and then would have had to portage/carry them to the lakes so it is impossible”.
What??? lol
So much missing logic. So much narrow thinking as a standard MO...
These came from the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.
Please read #21 about examples of very narrow minded thinking practices. Lack of “out of the box” thinking and “egotistical official approved narratives” is extremely hampering discovery, always has.
When I looked up where obsidian comes from it mentions Oregon, Idaho, and Nevada. The people in question were nomads and they no doubt traded with other nomads. It does not surprise me in the least that a valued commodity in those days would make it from Idaho to Michigan.
I wonder how much stuff got lost on ice over the lake and fell to the bottom when it melted.
Or, the hunter could have lost them in a tragic boating accident
And under the main span of the Big Mac bridge is the original river channel. The largest ancient waterfall in the river system was just down stream from there in Lake Huron.
Back abt 10 to 15 thousand years ago, the Great Lakes did not exist as they are today.
Thanks, I spent many happy days there fishing always knowing a monster of a fish lurked there. It truly was a fisherman’s paradise.
“This evidence, combined with the distance to the obsidian’s original source, paint a picture of an extensive trade or exchange network that spanned the continent nearly 3,000 years after the end of the last ice age.”
Looks like more of a painting than a story. So, from a couple of obsidian shards they’re able to conclude that there was trade between Indians leaving in Michigan and those living in California. They probably had a stock market exchange to go with that a well.
The guys that come up with these fantasies could make a much better living if they used their wild and wishful imagination to write novels.
Yeah, when they bring up a Runestone, will they just toss it back overboard? /s
American indian ‘creationism’ rejects all archaeological evidence which points to origins elsewhere, so a true ‘scientist’ would reject the term ‘native american’ outright as a label when performing archaeological studies/research of this timeframe (>9000 years ago).

The dig in 09 in WA was shut down pretty fast when they discovered human remains and tools etc that were Caucasian. Indians claimed it was sacred ground and that was it.
I don’t know what happened to the dig in 11 in Ontario. Same kind of thing though, findings predated everything else.
We all came from somewhere, the point is it shouldn’t matter, we all should be under the same laws and responsibilities, no special treatment of any group.
Pretty funny hey? Claiming that the vikings couldnt have traveled the great lakes because the lakes were not there.
When the vikings traveled the great lakes, it would have been the 14th century..or earlier if Vinland is considered a advanced point of exploration for them.
The Great lakes had fully formed by then.
How effn dumb can so called “experts” be?
BTW, maybe they better consider the copper mining done around the Keweenaw peninsula and explain how that type of copper got to the mid eastern area of the world. WAY before the Vikings were thought of. To pick up that float copper the glaciers would have had to have brought it to that area first. Then the lakes filled from the ice melt creating an avenue for them to sail up and get that copper.
I wonder why so many...?
The link between being a psychologist, and having pre-existing mental health issues is strong.
Did you read the rest of it? Or the source links from there? Mineral trace fingerprinting is a very accurate science. They also shared that other Obsidian shards found there were from other closer source locations.
The booze producers have data telling them that a large number of readers of Psy Today are self medicating with alcohol. Simple deductions sometimes fit best.
You’re suggesting that we violate the ‘settled science’ of North American archaeology and Native American inherent beliefs?
BLASPHEMY!!! /s lol
Thanks! It’s nice to know I’m not the only person who actually THINKS! (Even though I do have blonde roots...)
‘Face
