That book was published in 2012 and the notion hasn't picked up a lot of steam. It seems the pre-13,000 years ago or so evidence is always sketchy/debatable.


Could it be that the reason the theory has not picked up much steam is because it totally upsets the dominant paradigm......

If found true, I wonder how may Ph.D and M.S. dissertations and thesis' would be debunked. Sure would make a lot of people in academia look pretty clueless.

Pretty neat stuff right here regarding recent Nazca Line discoveries. Apparently researchers have found over 50 new geoglyphs that predate the other lines. Watch the video, way cool! Seems that they are starting to tie these lines with the existing Paracas culture which existed about 1000 years before what they call the Nazca culture.

So being the curious type, I pulled up Peru and the Nazca lines on Google Earth. If you don't have Google Earth on your computer and you're a trapper, I highly recommend it. You can download it here for free....

https://www.google.com/earth/download/gep/agree.html

Guess what! If you zoom out far enough on Google Earth, you can see other lines and giant polygons deep within the pacific ocean! Below is a screenshot I took off the computer....


If you follow these lines, they intersect in various locations. One of the main intersections is on Easter Island. Another main intersection is on French Polynesia. Out of curiosity, I google searched "Megaliths French Polynesia" and was astonished at what I saw! Another main intersection is at Hawaii! This is amazing stuff!

More really fascinating stuff coming out about the Mayan civilization. They just found a cave with a lot of human remains. Some of the remains they say are 4000 and 7000 years old and pre-date the Maya civilization; possibly being their ancestors. I think it is pretty interesting. Some of the skulls were elongated like the elongated skulls in Peru and the middle-east.

It is interesting DuxDawg! Here is a video that kind of summarizes some of the cool stuff they are finding in the under water cave systems! Its about 6 minutes long, but has a lot of fascinating stuff and photos.

Yup seen that on Sci channel. I think it's called Secrets of The Underground or Mystery of the Missing or something like that. I like that show.
Excellent shows

I for one question how ancient people all over the world could work gold into jewelry, and also how in every corner of the world the new of a specialized fire starting tech. How is that possible?

That is interesting! Beautiful artifacts made of gold and other precious metals are found all over the globe and many times the relics are also associated with mirrors of various kinds. These ancient sites never cease to amaze the curious mind. Check out this megalithic site from Mount Shoria in southern Siberia, they guess the stones to be twice the size of the ones in Baalbek. The similarities of the Siberian artwork to the stonework done in Peru is astonishing!

More good stuff coming out about the Mayan civilization. They just found a cave under Chichen Itza with a lot of relics that hopefully helps scientists get a better understanding of the rise and fall of the Mayans.

I find all of this very interesting and I don’t doubt any theories, even aliens ! I think their is more known than what we are being told about life on this rock since the time of the last ice age. Two of the guys on here that could clear things up a bit are both ex gubment men and they ain’t talking ! If white 17 and the Beav don’t come clean soon I’m calling coverup .

Primary problem holding archeology back was high level archeologists pushing their agenda on the rest of the archeology community. They didn't believe something was possible, therefore they squelched many possibilities. People thought the Earth was flat and they were wrong, leaders in archeology didn't believe there was a population here as early as it was and they were wrong.
If there were populations in South America 30,000 years ago, many many things we don't understand are possible.

I always found the trade route theories interesting.Products from South America found in North America,and vice versa,like Lake Superior copper found in Mexico.Fascinating stuff from a stone age civilization.

Supposedly over night horses covered N America after a few dozen were left behind by the Spanish. Those Spanish horses must have been way better breeders than the offspring they left behind

2-300 years isn't exactly overnight. But it is easy to establish where the wild horses originated with DNA testing. One of the best tools there is for either debunking or establishing historical facts.

(Only took 30 years for another introduced species to totally devastate most of Louisiana's coastal ecosystem).

Stone age as a term leads you to think those people were maybe less intelligent than modern people. They were modern humans just like us, with all our capacity's but a different environment and skill set.
The other thing that is hard to really grasp is the timeline, ten thousand years worth of occupation of the Americas. Lots of seemingly impossible or improbable ideas, are completely possible when you consider the length of time involved.

The archeology work being done in South America that shows possible human occupation ten thousand years prior to currently accepted dates of 14,000 years ago is really interesting. How would dates that old, have been that far south of the Bering land bridge. In all of South America, could one group of people, have stopped in one location, and that one particular location be discovered today. That in itself seems impossible, to find one singular spot on an entire continent.

Meadowcroft dig in Pennsylvania, dated to 14,000+. Material from hundreds of miles away in three or four directions found at that age. How did that happen? Almost assuredly there was a large population here at that time.
