Hell's fire, Donuel, there was a letter to the editor in last Sunday's paper HERE that said that the world was created 6,000 years ago!

I'd heard about the cocaine residue in Egyptian mummies, and Kenniwick Man is still residing in the museum (as far as I know), still looking more Ainu or Caucasian than Amerindian.

A Roman coin was found here in Pocatello, Idaho, some three feet down, when a feller back around 1900 was setting fence posts. Two Roman gladii have been excavated in Arizona, along with a lead plate detailing a colony there.

A 13,000 year old body of a woman was found on Catalina Island.

Personally, I strongly suspect that there were trade relations (at least) between those who dwelt in the Cahokia Mounds area and the Anazasi of the Southwest.

No archealogy, no proof of connections that are suspected to have existed. There had to have been many routes from Eurasia to the Americas, not just the Bering land bridge. Take a peek at a globe, for instance, from the North Polar perspective. Note the short boat trips from, say, Norway, to Canada, via various islands. Then consider the same route if the seas are lower because of the water tied up in an Ice Age (same scenario as the Bering Strait, but on the other side of North America)....
