I'm very glad you said that Dee. I would not want to dismiss 28 years of someone's life as BOLLOCKS. Driven, obsessed he may have been but at least its visionary and, without checking it out (anyone going to Calgary in the near future?) how will we ever know for sure.


See below

The questions I want to ask in archaeological terms are 1: do we know, for how many thousands of years was North America inhabited by its indigenous people and 2: how did they get there. If links can be traced back to other advanced civilisations then anything is possible.

The site is in Canada and it is believed the original inhabitants came from Asia via boat or Inuit across the Bering land bridge approx 15,000 BC .

Come on, clearly the intelligence that created this must have come from beyond the stars.

I thought the discussion generated by this thread turned out have some interesting strands. Archaeology and anthropology are interwoven and cannot be separated. I googled soemthing along the lines of 'first human inhabitants of Canada' and came up with some fascinating sites.

Try:
http://www.nowpublic.com/asian-seafarers-may-have-been-north-americas-first-inhabitants

This site puts forward the theory that Asian sea-farers were drawn to the Canada coast by the food rich kelp beds. It reports a 10,000 year old skeleton found in Alaskan cave had genetic traits identified in modern Japanese and Tibetans.

I read somewhere else that the native (indigenous) population of North America were mound builders ...... ??

I hadn't really given America a lot of thought in terms of archaeology except in relation to fire/smoke beacons - so the book in question has already proved useful.
