if you want tosee levallois points and point cores from the deep south u.s.a. go to Artifactsguide.com, go to the learning center and look under the heading “for charles ray and other paleo fanatics-edgefield”.

Oh, come on peoples! NA was colonized some 12,800 yrs ago by the Ancient Sea Kings, who were looking for survivors after the last Earth Crustal Displacement. And thousands of years from now different versions of us will be wondering WTF colonized NA again. Yep, you guessed it. Planet X is coming and when it is done having its way with the Celestial Balance in our solar System, Earth’s crust will have slid on its core, changing the geographic position of all the continents on the globe. Unfortunately for most of us, the planet will not be habitable for some time afterwards(oceans running out over their containers and washing over the continents many times, etc) and history will have been erased. When will this occur next? 2012. Yeah, it creeped me out too!

Would be nice if the putative earlier dating finds could be properly excavated in situ, rather than described and displayed out of context. Might make a more convincing case then.

ps
This would also explain why the DNA evidence does not fit the current consensus theory as well.

Actually there is a lot of data that points to MUCH earlier occupation regardless of the route travelled. Dr. Goodyear (South Carolina) has dug up evidence in SC similar to that found by Dr. Louis Leakey in CA indicating an occupation at least 40k years and possibly 52k years (before Europe). Logically, since we know that the NA/Asia crossing has been made many times since the Mesozoic by many species of animals including dinosaurs, I think we need to stop insisting on looking at hominids as late comers to the Americas.

There was a national geographic special discussing an alternative: that the first humans in north america came via western europe by island hopping

Levallois cores, points, exhausted levallois core tools, burins, blades, scrapers, and yes hand axes all of the mousterian acheulean style found in the midwest U.S. Who made them I wonder? Bone tools, red ochre, and venus type figurines also found. Might these be the tools of the american neanderthal? Neanderthal tools are rarely mistaken for other lithic industries due to their unique characteristics. The assemblage found in Indiana begs for closer scrutiny as no other paleo indian culture such as Clovis or later even resembles the artifacts being found but laid side beside with mousterian tools found abroad one cannot tell the difference other than the material that was used. The finder is confident that analysis will eventually prove him right. The tools are in pristine condition and appear to be a very coherent set of artifacts pointing to the possibility of a lower to middle paleolithic presence in the states.
