Go for it, I love studying ancient stuff myself. I just don't think that some who get formal educations are better than some who learn it on their own. I've been to college years ago and felt it was restricting my knowledge and steering me to think a certain way to keep certain groups of people in control.

Whats known as the 'clovis' people emigrated from the basque area of Europe to North america, as the poster above typed, using large animal skin 'kayak' type boats, this stuff is well know to acheologists.(spell checker on the fritz again)
I'm sorry, I am a licenced archaeologist and this is unknown to me. Please provide resources.

The earth was round before the Spanish changed it to flat. How would people know this if they had not been to America.
I also understand that truth is being suppressed.

Unfortunately, TV programmes aren't evidence in themselves.
What were the tv programmes based on? (by that i mean is there a specific site found to back up these claims).
Hi Johnny,
Von Danicken (?) and Hancock are interesting and therefore useful in drumming up further interest in such a fascinating topic. The problem is though when people take these views as gospel and then refuse to listen to reason and ignore all evidence.
At least archeologists accept they may have been previously wrong if new information comes to light.
The Solutrean hypothesis is a controversial proposal that peoples from Europe may have been among the earliest settlers in the Americas, as evidenced by similarities in stone tool technology of the Solutrean culture from prehistoric Europe to that of the later Clovis tool-making culture found in the Americas.[1][2] It was first proposed in 1998. Its key proponents include Dennis Stanford, of the Smithsonian Institution, and Bruce Bradley, of the University of Exeter.[3]

I thought the new evidence pointed to people making this migration pre Clovis? It is interesting though.
We have the migration from the Altai mountains, backed up by DNA and now this migration from Europe. Makes you wonder if any of those that ended up in Polynesia missed and also ended up in North America!
