Did you see this? Scientists say an ancient settlement discovered in Western Canada predates the pyramids.
Triquet Island on B.C.’s Central Coast
An ancient village believed to be one of the oldest human settlements ever found in North America has been discovered during an excavation on a remote island in British Columbia.
The village, which is estimated to be 14,000 years old, has been found on a rocky spit on Triquet Island, about 500 kilometres northwest of Victoria, Canada.
It is estimated the village is older than Egypt’s pyramids.
And according the CBC the find supports the oral history of the Heiltsuk Nation:
“Heiltsuk oral history talks of a strip of land in that area where the excavation took place. It was a place that never froze during the ice age and it was a place where our ancestors flocked to for survival,” said William Housty, a member of Heiltsuk Nation.
B.C. archaeologists have excavated a settlement in the area — in traditional Heiltsuk Nation territory — and dated it to 14,000 years ago, during the last ice age where glaciers covered much of North America.
Wait a minute, last “Ice Age” you say?
The conjoined ice sheets from the Rockies (the Cordillera ice sheet) and eastern Canada (the Laurentide ice sheet) blocked Alaska. ( University of Maryland )
Apparently the ice sheets formed during a previous Ice Age are a fundamental aspect of explaining how Amrericas “First Peoples” came to be First Peoples:
One theory of how humans entered the Americas is they came from Asia over an Alaskan land bridge through an ice-free corridor east of the Rockies and made their way through what is now eastern and central Canada.
But if that’s true it means {{HORRORS!}} there must have been global warming before Al Gore arrived on scene to warn us about his Inconvenient Truth!?! I’m dazed and confused but somehow I suspect the Russians are behind the whole thing.
Real reason for global warming alarm: the rare, black Al Gore Memorial Love Poodle Iceberg is melting!
