130,000 year old human site in NA

Study suggests humans were in North America 100,000 years earlier than believed

A team of scientists believe they have found evidence of human activity in North America that dates back 130,000 years — more than 100,000 years earlier than believed.
The evidence comes from an archeological site in San Diego County, Calif. In 1992, a site was uncovered containing mastodon bones, along with stone anvils and hammerstones. Dating the tools proved to be challenging. However, using recent technology, including uranium dating, the team believes they have firm evidence that humans were using tools to break apart the bones and make other tools.

A few years ago, the geologists said the originals were digging copper on Manitoulin island 100,000 years ago, but all those folks were fired.

This will change the land claims situation. Now everyone with Neanderthal genes is entitled.

Nobody had to discover North or South America in 1492 it was a matter of public record thousands of years old by then. And then 500 years ago along came that fukkin despicable Church. If you don't believe that then you probably don't think gold toilets are decadent oppulence.

Columbus didn't exactly find America. He was totally lost and bumped into it. The amazing part is that he found his way back home again.

The book says the big church got the info on America from the Moors. Christosphere Columbus was not flesh and bone, the term means something else entirely.

Which ironically, would include everyone except those whose Native blood still runs pure.
