i love nothing as much as hearing an academic in archeology say he doesnt know the whole story and that we should not decide that we do. the honesty is refreshing!
-
This shows the value of the internet: it looks like maybe 30 people were in the audience to witness live this presentation. On this date 174,000 people have seen it on the internet. That is amazing!

i wish my dad was around to see videos like this, he was really interested in this study of early mankind in america.
-
He makes an excellent point at the beginning of the lecture: Don't hold on so tight to these theories. Be flexible. New evidence can pop up any day and change the whole thing.
-
I must say that this is probably one of the best and most honest Scientific Presentations I have ever witnessed.
-
At last! This has been my complaint for decades! How ridiculous to say "The oldest city in the world" when it is easy to say "oldest KNOWN city"! I hope this starts a change.

My uncle found a beautiful Clovis spear point in Central VA. He found it in the swamp area of Chesdin lake on the Appomattox river while metal detecting . The whole swamp area was dried out due to a long drought as he was walking almost stepped on it. The spear point was about 8 inch's long and had the red on like he described in this video. It was really thin,still very sharp and unbroken. He took it to a local university and they claimed it was around 8,000 years old! They wanted to buy it from him.

i just remembered how much i hated how history was tought to us in school - today i love it when its presented to me like this

I found a perfectly shaped white quartz arrowhead in Rhode Island many years ago. I still remember how the craftsmanship really impressed me. I mean it was perfectly proportioned. A true work of art.

I am saddened at the lack of audience that should be interested in the history of their country. It was very educational talk and shows that history cannot be learned from reading a single book. Grazie.

Ok, I have to comment. In 1987 I lived in Texas. A neighbor found a cache of 16 of these long, beautiful stone spear points, 8-10 inches long. They all had different shapes. This was in Comal County. I held them in my hands.I knew I was looking at and touching something so ancient.

Well worth watching to the very end. I have never understood the reluctance of scientists to acknowledge that human history is far from simple, not only in North America, but on every continent. This talk will expose you to lots of questions, and avoids the simple answers- highly recommended.

I wish I had a time machine so I could go back and see what the truth really was.
-
I’m so glad we can admit we don’t know everything yet.
-
I don't understand how clever people can declare 'this is the oldest !'. Instead of 'I believe this the oldest we have found so far ' And rather than attacking someone who claims they have found something older, they should be excited and curious about and offer the finder their support. What a waste of energy being negative and condemnatory.
-
Isn’t it obvious there were dozens of “ancient” cultures prolly over a 100,000 years of occupation.
-
Great lecture. My brother found a beautiful Clovis point in Western Louisiana on the edge of the Toledo Bend construction area before it was filled. It is a perfect example of Clovis.

You are well educated and you are an excellent communicator. Logical. Comprehensive but not overly complex. Very well done. Bravo.
-
People don't attack heretics because they love the truth. They attack them because they threaten the plotlines of a story that gives them power..

Excellent presentation! Personable & enjoyable -quite educational as well. Glad I watched it!
