Oldest Footprints in North America Officially Dated, and Big Archaeology Ain’t Gonna Like It

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A debate plaguing the world of archaeology may have been settled Thursday, and it completely rewrites the human story of North America.

For decades, Big Archaeology has insisted humans only showed up in North America around 13,000 years ago. Despite mounting evidence this is not the case, the powers that be, the oligarchs of archaeology, have refused to admit they are wrong, essentially stunting the study of our past.

The issue all centers on a set of footprints in White Sands National Park, New Mexico. These fossilized steps of our ancient ancestors pre-date the Clovis people significantly and were previously dated to around 21,000 to 23,000 years ago, LiveScience explained. This means humans were hanging out in the U.S. as far back as the last ice age. Pretty cool, huh?

Wednesday’s Alaska landslide possibly the biggest in North American recorded history

Even by Alaska standards, the rock slide in Glacier Bay National Park was a huge event.

It was a monumental geophysical event that was almost overlooked until a pilot happened to fly over where the cliff collapsed and snapped some photographs nearly a month later.

When the cliff collapsed in the national park in southeast Alaska on June 11, it sent rock and ice coursing down a valley and over a lovely white glacier in what perhaps was the largest landslide recorded in North America.

The rumbling was enough so that it showed up as a 3.4-magnitude earthquake in Alaska. The seismic event also was recorded in Canada. The massive landslide occurred in a remote valley beneath the 11,750-foot Lituya Mountain in the Fairweather Range about six miles from the border with British Columbia.

“I don’t know of any that are bigger,” Marten Geertsema, a research geomorphologist for the provincial Forest Service in British Columbia, said Thursday, when comparing the landslide to others in North America.
