The first Americans Came from Europe?
New archaeological evidence suggests America was first discovered by Stone Age hunters from Europe. Several dozen stone tools have been found across six locations on the U.S. East Coast that are between 19,000 and 26,000 years old and were a European-style tool.
The discovery suggests that the owners of the tools arrived 10,000 years before the ancestors of the American Indians set foot in the New World. According to the now familiar story, Mongolian mammal hunters entered the continent some 12,000 years ago via a land bridge that spanned the Bering Sea. Its possible huge glaciers may have blocked their way and it is not known how they survived in an obviously hostile region.
Finding European style tools is being heralded as one of the most important archaeological breakthroughs for several decades. Archaeologists are hopeful that they will add another dimension to understanding the spread of humans across the world. Three of the sites were discovered by archaeologist Dr Darrin Lowery of the University of Delaware, while another one is in Pennsylvania and a fifth site is in Virginia. Fishermen discovered a sixth on a seabed 60 miles from the Virginian coast, which in prehistoric times would have been dry land.
In their book, Professor Dennis Stanford of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC and Professor Bruce Bradley of the University of Exeter argued that Stone Age humans were able to make the 1500 mile journey across the Atlantic ice. But the age of the newly-discovered tools are from between 26,000 and 19,000 years ago and are virtually exactly the same as western European materials from that time.
About three million square miles of the North Atlantic was covered in thick ice for all or part of the year at the peak of the Ice Age. However, beyond the ice, the lure of the open ocean began would have been extremely rich in food resources for hunters. But until now there was relatively little evidence to support their thinking.
They are presenting their theory and evidence in a book – “Across Atlantic Ice,” buoyed by the recent discovery, archaeologists are now turning to new locations in Tennessee, Maryland and even Texas, all sites which are they believe will produce more Stone Age evidence. But most of the areas where the newcomers stepped off the ice on to dry land are now up to 100 miles out to sea - along with any possible evidence. The authors are forcing us to look at the possibility of pre-Clovis occupation of the New World. The book suggests a new hypothesis to explain the origin, both technologically and geographically of the Clovis culture.
Stanford and Bradley argue for an origin of Clovis (and pre-Clovis) technology with the Solutrean culture of France and Spain. They marshal a considerable corpus of data in support of this hypothesis from a wide variety of disciplines - paleontology, geology, geochronology and of course, archeology. They describe Clovis N.M. technology in great detail, pulling together the work of many researchers, as well as their own research.
Distinctive stone tools belonging to the Clovis culture established the presence of these early New World people. Drawing from original archaeological analysis, paleoclimatic research, and genetic studies, noted archaeologists Dennis J. Stanford and Bruce A. Bradley challenge the theories that American Indians were first to settle in America.
The authors apply rigorous scholarship to a hypothesis that places the technological antecedents of Clovis N.M. in Europe and posits that the first Americans crossed the Atlantic by boat and arrived earlier than previously thought. Supplying archaeological and oceanographic evidence to support this assertion, the book dismantles the old paradigm while persuasively linking Clovis technology with the culture of the Solutrean people who occupied France and Spain more than 20,000 years ago. The Solutrean were able to built boats and fished. There is a possibility that some of them reached the Americas, following a route along the edge of the pack ice that extended from the Atlantic coast of France to Canada during the last glacial maximum.
There is also new genetic evidence which also suggests an ancient European immigration. The so-called "Xenia clan," or Haplogroup X, is one of the seven maternal lines traceable via mitochondrial DNA, and it points to a European origin. About 3% of American Indians carry this gene. This mitochondrial DNA evidence is of genes that have diverged enough to show ancient trans-Atlantic immigration.
One of the interesting points of their arguments involves the identification of specific, detailed similarities in the stone complexes and methods of cooking ovens. The Europeans used stone structures that are being located in North and South America. They identify one very specific technique, overshot flaking on arrowheads, as so specialized, and so restricted in time and space (it is a significant component of only two complexes, Clovis and Solutrean) that it surely evidences a close relationship between the people responsible.
The authors have a rich fabric of evidence. Michael Collins notes they've laid out the evidence, but much more needs to be done in order to test their hypothesis.

MEXICO CITY -- Scientists in Britain have identified the oldest skeleton ever found on the American continent in a discovery that raises fresh questions about the accepted theory of how the first people arrived in the New World. The skeleton's perfectly preserved skull belonged to a 26-year-old Caucasian woman who died during the last ice age on the edge of a giant prehistoric lake now occupied by the sprawling suburbs of Mexico City.
Scientists from Liverpool's John Moores University and Oxford's Research Laboratory of Archaeology have dated the skull to about 13,000 years old, making it 2,000 years older than the previous record for the continent's oldest human remains. However, the most intriguing aspect of the skull is that it is long and narrow and typically Caucasian in appearance, like the heads of white, western Europeans today.
Modern-day Native Americans, however, have short, wide skulls that are typical of their Mongoloid ancestors who are known to have crossed into America from Asia on an ice-age land bridge that had formed across the Bering Strait.
The extreme age of Peñon woman suggests there was a much earlier migration of Caucasian-like people with long, narrow skulls across ice or water in the Atlantic Ocean. They may have come by boat, traveled over the ice or were flown.
At the extreme southern part of South America, at a dig known as Monte Verde, there is hard evidence of a human encampment from 12,500 years before present. This discovery (in 1975) was troublesome for those who believed that the Clovis point was the best evidence of the first immigrants. At Monte Verde, there is evidence of people in the south of Chile more than 30.000 years ago. These days, the evidence at Monte Verde in Chile is no longer a quirk. Similar skulls are found in Bolivia and Peru with red hair. The Bering land bridge theory is no longer adequate, long skulls are being found in Europe, China, and the Americas. In 1996, two young men found the skeleton of Kennewick Man in Washington, a state in the extreme northwest of the current United States. Kennewick Man is 9,200 years old. But Kennewick Man is not Amerindian. Identified as Caucasian, his origin is a matter of speculation.
Recently, advanced science has inquired into the nature of ancient bones discovered near Mexico City. Peñon Woman III, unearthed in 1959, is one of 27 ancient human skeletons held by the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. Radio-carbon dating tells that Peñon Woman lived 12,700 years ago. And, she's not Amerindian. Her skull shape indicates that she is not closely related to the American Indians.
There is speculation that the Peñon Woman and Kennewick man are related. On Baja Peninsula Mexico, there lived an isolated tribe of nontypical Native Americans up into the modern age. The Pericues, civilized to extinction by Spaniards, were a tall, thin folk whose skull shape is not consistent with the Siberian-crossing Native-American. www.stevenroyedwards.com/peoplingofamericas.html Note: The experts have new evidence and hypothesis for explaining how America was settled however, often the leaders of the various tribes claim they came from distant planets.
Ancient Coastal Cities found in the United States
Lloyd Pye writes, “A man I know named John Jensen has made an incredible discovery, something I think will become hugely important and famous all over the world in the very near future. He has found Canal Complexes in America. This site is a review of some empirical evidence that will forever change the history of pre-diluvial America, shifting our paradigm from what we think we know about America to a whole new standard of Truth about pre-historic civilizations on the North American continent.
Ancient Cities on our Coasts: There are hundreds of miles of coastline, from Maine to the Gulf States including Texas and parts of Mexico, that are covered with vestiges and remnants of a very sophisticated, enormously large water borne culture or civilization that existed BEFORE current sea level rose an average of 12 to 25 feet, or more.
Sophisticated Geo Engineers: The evidence you are about to see, shows nearly every swampy piece of marsh land on most of the Eastern US Coast and Gulf of Mexico, to have been 'worked' and 'inhabited' by a very large, very sophisticated population of canal builders during some remote pre-flood period.
Age of the Complexes: These complexes were built BEFORE the water table rose to its present level. Some of the structures run down to depths of 12-25 feet BELOW current sea level. We will use 15' as an average. The chart to the right, from Globalwarmingart.com, shows a 5-meter rise in the last 8,000 to 10,000 years. That is a rise of 16 feet since about 7,500 BCE. It appears these complexes existed a very long time ago. We have separated our field locations into six different styles. We have cataloged 246 sites.
This harbor, designated 'H-1' is the most important discovery of the entire Ancient Canal Builder sites. H-1 is about 2.2 miles offshore, in the open ocean. It is NOT connected to any land based use in any way.
It rests on a high tidal shoulder with the main body of the harbor 9,000 to 10,000 feet, long with a widened harbor to the left, and an additional 3,000' exit canal to the NW. Based on harbors of a similar size today; we can estimate the depth of the cut harbor to be 35' to 45' deep. The volume of material cut, transported and disposed is roughly 45,000,000 (forty five million) cubic yards. At an average cost in dollars today of about $12 per cubic yard, this project looks like the beginning of a colossal engineering project in the $538,000,000 million dollar range.
At this level of material, a minimum of technical machinery including dredge cutters, piping, barges and a whole range of equipment would be required. Although mega projects of this size have been accomplished in the past, using manpower alone, (such as the Great Pyramid of Giza, and the great wall of China), nothing on this order has ever been shown to have been done in the cutting and dredging of harbors of this size. At the same time several other similar projects were being dug as demonstrated by Harbor 'H-2', about 65 miles distant.
It is evident this harbor was not completed with manpower alone, but with some very sophisticated machinery and equipment. Ocean depth at the tidal shoulder is estimated to be between 6 feet and 9 feet deep, but could be as much as 12’ to 15’ deep. Those depths place a date certain, based on Ocean Level Rise, of between 7,200 and 7,400 years before present. A 7,300 year old magnificent harbor indicates advance technology from unknown sophisticated civilization or alien astronauts.
We think that this civilization was destroyed by a super mega cataclysm, and it is likely, that some residue artifacts in stone, pottery or metal are preserved in the silt at the bottom of this harbor.
We are NOT releasing location coordinates on this site pending our own expedition dive.
NOTE: Google is systematically 'painting out' site locations. We have the exact GPS coordinates for each point of this harbor. Thanks to Google Earth for all the 'live' real time site images. Thanks to Lloyd Pye and www.ancientcanalbuilders.com/
