Thank you for the video. I for one appreciate them.

I wish this video had some dates in it

[@KenSchutte]

It would help if you made a playlist or put numbers in the titles of videos because it's not clear the order of videos in the series

Love the background music- what is it? What artist?

[@ArchaeologyNow]

I was told by the editor that it was free music from KZbin. It was part of a mix and he is unable to retrieve it. I'm so sorry. It's really great stuff and I wish we had the source.

We’re they connected with the Polynesian canoeing cultures

[@ArchaeologyNow]

DNA is on the case! There are several studies that connect people of South America with Polynesian cultures, including a recent study that discovered a strong Austral-asian signal in the inhabitants of South America. Go to our Instagram page. Archaeology Now, and seek out a recent "Its A Wrap Friday" post about this new research.

More?

[@ArchaeologyNow]

There are two other episodes in the series! They are both mounted on our channel. Glad you like the first episode!

So Maya didn't have ship because they didn't have iron . The Vikings when reached america should have introdused iron and its gatehering but I guess ,indians and natives are conservative and this technology should have spread slow or not at all .Iron should have been a trading tool but would viking trade iron ?

[@ArchaeologyNow]

Stay tuned for the next episodes! In the meantime, think about how boats could have been built without iron and what they might have looked like or how they might have been constructed.
