The Viking burial hordes in Scandinavia contained silver coins from the Arabic world... and, surprisingly, a small bronze figurine of a seated Buddha. So its not so difficult in this context to see how a small sculpted Roman head found its way under a pyramid in Meso- America.

People tend to forget, or rather not be aware of, the fact that sea levels 15,000 years ago were much lower than they are today, which in turn means that islands were much larger due to shorelines being a lot further down and out. By the same reasoning, distances between the islands were shorter. A few years ago, iirc, an Egyptian mummy showed traces of cocaine and tobacco in their tissues, something impossible by our current history. However, that doesn't take into account the facts and consequences of lower sea levels and extended continental and island shorelines which would have made contact easier and more likely...still hazardous and difficult, of course, but still not impossible. The "ice-free corridor" theory has been debunked, btw, as research has shown that the lands would have been barren for centuries after the ice melted, too barren to allow passage that way in the time frames required. Rather, the best guess today is that the founding populations arrived perhaps 30K years ago along the shorelines, which again would be logical given the lower sea levels and extended shorelines. And, of course, the evidence of that passage would now be under water. It is quite possible that those founders arrived much earlier, as sailing technology goes back much further than commonly thought, as the existence of the Australian aborigines proves.

Through DNA testing and sequencing they have proven that the Denisovan's were a distinct and formerly unknown race of humankind. "And also, in that same cave - the first fully sequenced (Neanderthal) DNA sample!" So now they know that all peoples currently called/labeled as, "Indigenous" to North America have about (5%) of the Denisovan DNA in their genetic make-up, "Through DNA testing". And these Denisovan's would have crossed that Russia-North American land bridge that everyone talks about, anytime between (30,000-120,000) years ago. Time to update the history text books!

Exceptions are also made, as the Galapagos Islands are part of the Americas despite being further than 50 miles. No, Christopher Columbus was not the first European to discover the Americas. Moving the goal posts is common for people attempting to establish a narrative such as this and it annoys us historians. Columbus was integral to everything that happened in the next 20 - 30 years after landing on Cuba. England, France, the Dutch, the Portuguese, and Spain all woke up and realized here was this new land mass ripe for exploitation. These countries started programs to colonize and conquer as much land as quickly as possible. England and the Dutch were a bit slow, but they used Columbus' maps to get to the Caribbean. People forget that this area was a war-zone of piracy and raiding for near a 100 years.

@@1967PONTIACGTO You may be right, but we can't really know one way or the other, But to my mind and study I can't accept that writng is only 5000 years old or so. While I aknowledge that this is the mainstream view, to me it just leads to too many historical contradictions. Soken Languges go extinct and so can written ones. Cunioform was written on clay tablets that endured, but that hardly lends evidence to it being the first written language.Itt simply is the oldest we have found. There could have ben previous languages not written tablets but some other medium (like paper or hides) that simply vanished over time This is far more likely than cuniform being the first written language. Our species has been around for about 200K years after all.

This is a inaccurate description of the archeological finds shown in this video. 'Clearly there was a 'Caucasian Influence" to describe the Olmec heads? False Information.

LMAO, I agree! Olmec head statue clearly depicts African facial structures to me.

[@PlizzTV]

I was thinking the same thing the Olmec heads are no where near caucasian features. Kinda ridiculous he tried to slide that in there. White people try to take everyone history its sad. (I know I shouldn't assume but im 100% sure the guy that made this video is/was white)

Finding a single out-of-place or out-of-context artifact is not evidence of anything until you determine how it got there. Inventing elaborate, unprovable hypotheses doesn't help that search.

Absolutely crazy to think a megalithic culture couldn't cross oceans. Vikings and other couldn't come close to what was built before them but we accept they could cross oceans

[@Mattthemangler]

Especially considering how Oceans are more like Highways than land.

[@dredwick]

The reason megalithic cultures aren't considered to have crossed oceans is because there aren't any artifacts or writings or pictures or anything indicating that they crossed the ocean. Now, don't get me wrong... I personally think that Persians had maritime trade and traveled to Peru, and I think that the Olmecs involved African people... but I don't have one specific piece of evidence that proves it... just a culmination of evidence that I think paints the broader picture.... a picture that is argued against by mainstream "scientists"

[@kellharris2491]

There is is actually evidence but most of it is discounted. There are even stories and lore from native Americans both central and north American. Do you know the Book or Mormon is actually a record of a group of these people?

[@dredwick]

@@kellharris2491 Stories and lore are not physical evidence. What would be physical evidence would be something like an artifact being discovered in the New World that is of something that does not exist in the New World. There actually is something of that sort... an Olmec clay artifact that once was in the Museum of Anthropology in Xalapa, Mexico... it was very reminiscent of an elephant, begging the question of how the Olmecs knew what an elephant looked like since they would not have been able to see any in the Americas. There are many rebuttals to this artifact, but like I said... its a culmination of many things that leads me to believe that these people (and the first Peruvian peoples) had a seafaring connection with Asia and/or Africa. As far as the Book of Mormon goes, I'm sorry... I can't take it serious. South Park ruined it for me. And I very much trust the creators of South Park... they have done a very great job at depicting the truth regarding culture and society in modern America (and the past, and other cultures)... I would have to be shown evidence that the Book of Mormon had more than one source. The Bible has multiple sources spanning thousands of years... those stories are much easier to accept as having some groundwork in factual history because many of the same stories exist throughout the world in some form or fashion. But the Book of Mormon is one book written by one man.

[@dredwick]

@@kellharris2491 Also, I would just like to point out... a lot of the Native American lore in North America is falsified bunk. I have lived with Native Americans for half a decade now... how historians and the media portray them is nothing close to the truth. The unfortunate truth is that their history was basically wiped out and they were forced to learn the white man's history, and then aspects of their history were applied to the white man's history, and what we are left with is a heavily biased explanation of things. That is why so much of Native American history and culture seems to magically align with Christianity... their lives were re-written through a Christian lens.

Might be worth looking into the records of the Jaredite people for an explanation of the Fuenta magna (~4min 15 sec Mark). Jaredites came from Babylon cerca time of the Tower of Babel. Hence, language found on the Fuenta Magna and the similarities of megalithic construction in that area of Peru and Bolivia.

[@Sevenigma777]

That stone egg isn't made of granite. It is a type of quartzite. Also it has been analyzed and the carvings are too evenly made to have been prehistoric and are consistent with tools from the 19th century. They are even markings where you can see that the rock was placed in some sort of clamp to hold it steady for drilling.

[@elgringo7787]

So that means it has to be modern?! Look at the granite vases found under the step pyramid in Egypt . We have the provenance of those vases, and they are even more complicated than that egg.

As an anthropologist the land bridge has come into question for years. There may have been some. The most studied theory now is the trade routes from Asia to South American indigenous peoples.

[@whenimmanicimgodly4228]

Question, I have recently heard there is a theory that they did use the land bridge but stayed more along the coastline because nay other route would have almost no wildlife or plants, just rocks between the two northern hemisphere glaciers. What do you think of this possibility? Also what do you think about vikings and druids being here well before Columbus

[@stereophonicsmom]

@@whenimmanicimgodly4228 👋🏼 The land bridge was used, but not to populate all of the Americas as previously thought. And yes it is well documented The Vikings were here around the early 1000’s. (Before this they traded and left). They were up around Newfoundland. At first they came, trade, and left. Then they decided to start a some little settlements and go on a brutal killing spree. They didn’t last long and took off. As for Druids I know of none, yet that doesn’t rule it out. We learn more everyday. I do highly doubt it, but like I said, under something somewhere as we’re seeing lately 🤷🏽‍♀️. I still stick to Vikings trading and the Asian migrations, be it upper land bridge, lower trade routes-always keep my mind open though. Hope that helps a bit! Take care 🙋🏽‍♀️

They've found roman artifacts and coins down in brazil as well, so it wouldn't be that far off to say the romans were in America long before columbus too.

[@eric2500]

Just a thought that ancient people might have been able to travel and trade longer distances than we think-- especially if I am living on the coast and I got a cool artifact from Liefer Ericson's colony in trade and kept swapping it westward, so by the time of my great X5 grandkids, it is somewhere in the Great Lakes region.

[@savetherepublic9124]

you know the same way it is used to age petrified dinosaur bones and fossils( how silly you are to question any science related to carbon dates) or to tell how warm or cold the climate was 10,000 years ago when they can not accurately predict the weather for tomorrow, above all trust the science or at least trust what they tell you to believe. after all we would not want you to think for yourself and get any logic based ideas of your own.
