That idiot is 1 of the right wing looney toons who think all authorities are liars who are "out to get us" and are "hiding the truth". What a bunch of crazies! I sure wish all channels would delete their idiotic comments! Their presence makes it near impossible for us real history buffs to find the truly relevant comments, or to have a conversation. The way those morons fill up the comment sections of all history viideos is terribly unfair to the rest of us!

We live in GA and find huge arrowheads, axes, spear points and even giant shark teeth on the banks of the Savannah river around Augusta (especially when the water is low) but there are many other places where the ground is littered with more recent artifacts as well. Let's work to learn all we can. Let's welcome new discoveries and not try to hide them. It's so important to know the past because it is essential for being ready for the future. Our ancestors were so much more skilled than we've been told. Each find is like a time machine. It's simply amazing to see so far back in time but we also have SO MUCH more to learn about things that happened not so long ago also. I'm excited to hear each new wrinkle in time. Great video.

The phosphate mine here in north Florida turned up a fist sized piece of mammoth ivory. The young man who found it was excited to show off his find, tho he didn't know what it was. Only when I looked at the broken end was I able to see the growth rings, like tree rings. The piece was the deep black associated with fossils. The truly amazing thing was how heavy it was, for being the size of my fist it weighed more than 2 kilos, nearly 5 pounds

[@VillageTechnologies]

It's quite astonishing how far people travelled. There is a very important archeological site on the Ottawa River not far from where I live which was used as a "toll station" by the people who controlled it going back thousands of years. Basically to pass, you paid a toll. That was one of their gigs. They have evidently found stone implements on that site which come from the Ohio River Valley and I believe they found artifacts in the Yukon which were traced to that site on the Ottawa River. These people travelled thousands of kilometers across some of the most forbidding land on the continent.

[@aaronfischer9885]

​@@scottlanghorst1483 let's examine the evidence... The Clovis culture and knapping style is found across North America. Was considered technologically superior to its contemporaries of the time period. The Solutrean style of knapping and tool sets are identical to Clovis. They have traced Solutrean tools found in the Basque country, to quarries on the East Coast of the Americas. The language of the Basque people (Solutreans) does not have ties linguistically to any language in Europe. Their language does share words with Native American tribes though. The largest population centers for Basque people, outside of the Basque country, are northern Nevada and southern Idaho. Those people are returning to their homeland. After the great flood pushed them out of North America, they migrated to Europe and established a colony in the area between Spain and France called the Basque country. The mainstream migration story of these cultures are presented backwards. There is more evidence of this reverse migration in other cultures as well. The Ainu people of northern Japan are the original samurai and are completely different genetically than the Jomon culture of the rest of the island. Their knapping style and tool sets have been found on the Idaho side of the Snake River in an area known as Coopers Ferry. These are the oldest known artifacts in North America. The Nez Perce (Nimi'ipuu) tribe of Idaho, Oregon and Washington also possessed evidence of a reversed migration. When a legendary Chief of the Nez Perce surrendered to the U.S. Army he presented General Howard with a stone tablet as a peace offering. It was known as the "mystery glyph" as no one at the time could identify the cuneiform it was written in. Chief Joseph said, it was handed down through his family for many generations and was a gift from the people who once dominated the region. It wasn't until 1963, with the discovery of Göbekli Tepe that the mystery glyph had a known origin. The mystery glyph tablet that had been passed down for generations was written in Sumerian cuneiform. The oldest known site of civilization in Europe. 😮 Some little known history I thought I would share with you (and anyone reading this). Fact check this information...you can't make this stuff up 😂

Thomas Lee was forced to resign through back-stabbing and ridicule, because he maintained that the stone tools were most likely from as far back as 125,000 years ago. Many geologists agreed on the very old age of the site. I guess Mr. Thomas didn't tow the establishment line.

Interesting, but the last ice age ended around 10,000 years ago, right? - So, either this artifact is a bit younger than that - OR it's WAY older, even PRE-dating the last ice age. The ice sheet during the late glacial period extended into and across the Sheguiandah. Mr. Randall Carlson has a lot of interesting takes on this stuff, by the way.

Agree. The Cordilleran and Laurentide ice sheets covered Canada and parts of the northern USA. The ice began to melt around twenty thousand years go and the land was pretty well ice free around 10, 500 years ago. The ice remaking was the mountain glaciers.

The comments here give me a bad feeling about the video. Too many displays of ignorance, when I'd expect a quality documentary to attract intelligent discussion. The Late Cenozoic Ice Age has been ongoing for the last thirty-four millions years. What you ignorant ones are referring to is the last glacial period. People keep bringing up the Younger Dryas as if it's some magic spell. Usually mentioned by people who listen to what's his face, Hancock, falling for his very deliberate lies.

I think History was rewritten several years ago, if not decades. The evidence available that North America was populated pre Clovis is significant. In Archeological circles it’s not even really up for debate. People were making North America around 20,000 years ago, in some case even a little bit older. The Clovis first hypothesis is outdated.

The quartzite in this video is a little different from regular quartz. You can't make arrowheads like this from regular quartz. But that place in New Hampshire might not be quartz either. You can tell be the way the rock breaks - the stuff in the video breaks like glass, and work for arrowheads. Those arrowhead making techniques dont work on milky or clear quartz. It'd be cool to hear a follow-up on the New Hampshire place. I'm just south of there, and found all kinds of rocks. I found a small clear quartz crystal in a pocket in a rocky outcropping in a farm field behind my old apartment complex. I noticed white quartz veins in the rocks, and followed them until one opened up a little, and a single crystal had formed inside. It was loose by the time I'd found it. We get calcite veins around here, too. It shatters in chunks rather than like glass (or maybe like "safety glass"😂 not shards, and neither quartz nor calcite flake off with percussion strikes. That's how you can tell for sure). I know where there's marble and alabaster in Vermont, and I wouldnt be surprised if New Hampshire has that too. What you found nay have been an old quarry, just a matter of how old?

History is so important. It is the dust of what we are today. 🇨🇦

[@MrBottlecapBill]

I suspect this site fell out of favour for high quality tools a bit earlier than suspected as trade routes opened up and better quality stone was available. I mean that stuff is the best quartz you'll find but it's still terrible in comparison to many other stone types. In my area there's a few pink quartz zones that were clearly used for basic crude tools but whenever someone finds an actual point or well crafted item it's always chert or flint imported from a long ways away. In fact it seems even the copper tools around the great lakes fell out of favour for the same reasons. Good quality stone is far easier to work and became far easier to get a hold of over time as populations increased and more resource discoveries were made. Of course that site could have probably been a go to for lower quality tools right up until more modern times when the flow of good stone was interrupted for whatever reason.

Just during the 3/4 of a century that I have been alive the dates of human occupation of the America's has been pushed back numerous times. IMO, only, names like Indian, American Indian, Native American, First Nations, are all colonial terms. I really liked the part in the video where the narrator says that there is a third, competing theory, that people have been there since time immemorial. To my way of thinking, as these dates get pushed back further and further, as archaeologists dare to dig deeper and deeper, as traditional stories are shared and proven, we start to seriously approach an "immemorial" date. Oral histories ARE truth. Their truth is our truth too. I live just a few miles away from several of the earliest examples of Clovis culture, 13,000 years ago, including one of the few Mastadon kill sites.

It would be interesting to know the reason why egyptologists are trusting 100% the hyerogliphs on a corridor wall while refusing to deal with the ones on the opposite wall in Seti 1 temple in Abydos.

Here’s the truth about academia: 1) Some attend grad school because they have a genuine passion for their subjects of study, and wish to make it their career. However, an equal or larger number do it because they don’t know what they want to be when they grow up and figure that a career as an academic is at least somewhat prestigious, and affords opportunities for “intellectual challenge.“ 2) In light of the large numbers of the second group entering the faculties of colleges and universities, we find that an old adage - Those who can, do. Those who cannot, teach - applies more to college and university academics than to secondary school teachers. 3) Because the pretend scholars in that second group do not want to be viewed by their peers as wannabes or less-than-genuine academic minds, they frequently compensate by using excessively technical language and arrogance to convince others of their intellectual superiority. The more one hears words like “paradigm“ the less that professor actually has to say. 4) Given the competition for limited permanent, tenured faculty positions, combined with the arrogant attitude of those pretend scholars who have advanced into the academic and administrative hierarchy, the atmosphere at many colleges and universities is frequently one involving a great deal of cliquish, political, infighting, and petty defense of territory against intruders, such as women and minorities. This is why many university departments are actually the opposite of a place of enlightened thought and speech, but rather are the bastians of old boy attitudes, perversely, even by those females who have climbed the tenure rungs. 5) Lacking the innate brilliance or interest in a chosen field, the pretend scholars will focus on publishing complex, but not controversial research that essentially rehashes the work of others and features three page-long footnotes equivocating to the point that nothing at all is said or expressed. Lesser talented, pretend scholars hope to keep a place in their departments by presenting a façade of intellectuality while remaining sufficiently noncommittal to avoid negative political consequences within the department. 6) In an interview on the topic of academic resistance to new ideas, Harvard astrophysicist, and former chair of the Harvard University Astronomy Department, Avi Loeb, has said that above all else, academics desire to be seen as experts in their chosen fields. If they are to admit that new ideas or unknown phenomena warrant further study, that is in essence a confession of ignorance and lack of expertise on the topic. This most academics, particularly the pretend scholars, lack either the desire or the courage to concede. This has been true regarding the existence of UFOs, which the United States Department of Defense acknowledged as real back in 2017, and Congress has been studying in recent years, or the existence of as yet unknown animals, such as Sasquatch, credible evidence of which exists in vast quantities that scoffing academics either pretend does not exist, or are ignorant of altogether. Similarly, new theories, such as human occupation of North America and South America predating the Clovis culture by many millennia, are viewed as attacks on the status quo. Insecure pretend scholars and mainstream academia nervously protect and guard against newcomers with their new ideas, who might be viewed as the new stars in their field. It takes far less knowledge, creativity, passion for a subject, and courage to defend an established theory than it does to discover a new one. This is very apparent in archaeology when we see determined attempts to discredit any theories and discoveries that suggest that humans inhabited the New World more than 20,000 years ago. Of course, there must be scrutiny and careful review of new theories and findings. Certainly there can be mistakes made, whether by overly eager attention-seekers, or by well-meaning, genuine enthusiasts of the topic. There needs to be a reasonable study to discern which is more accurate, the old established theory, or the new, potentially revolutionary one. And, we must also guard against the sort of excessive open-mindedness that would result in conspiracy theorists’ brains rolling out their ears if they tipped their heads over enough. Fringe historical and archaeological theories regarding Phoenicians, Marc Anthony and Cleopatra, Welsh monks, Vikings, and Templar knights traipsing around North America and leaving alleged artifacts, such as the Kensington Runestone, the Newport Tower, hidden treasure troves in the walls of the Grand Canyon, or underground stone “temples” at the source of a spring are simply the products of overactive imaginations, hoaxers, or misidentification of the works of 17th and 18th century colonists. I make these comments with a degree of bitterness over the fact that sadly, too many of the professors I had in college and university were pretend scholars rather than individuals who actually cared much about their chosen fields, and had any achievements in them. The world of academia needs more courage to be open-minded, just as the world of avocational enthusiasts needs more reasonable, common-sense skepticism.

This doesn't rewrite human history; the research demonstrates that people came here 10,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age, which we already knew. The claim starting at 1:10 that this site "is one of the most interesting archeological sites in all the world" is misleading beyond all reason. It's pretty insignificant and boring compared with Pompeii, Egyptian Pyramids, Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, the list is endless. Lastly, I found Dr. Darrel Manitowabi's talk at the end that the importance of "historical relationships" between communities being more important than the archeology as well as "a metaphor for dispossession from representation and from the landscape" as confusing and as veiled political message that we should all feel guilty for some reason or another, and the locals should get tourism $ from this. Manitoulin Island is such an incredible place to visit, it is so serene, beautiful, and relatively untouched. Everyone should visit that part of Canada, no need for misleading propaganda.

New date on sphinx? Allegedly 80000 years old. Eighty thousand? Now thats rewriting history. Humans have been around a lot longer than historians admit.

thank you. this was both interesting and informative. I've been curious about this for a while, so why not ask ... why is it many youtube videos show the same video twice back to back?

[@baileylineroad]

Good Morning! Thanks for your note. I'm not sure what you mean with same video playing back to back. Can you send me an example? Bye for now, Steve
