People of the Americas. Myths and Fantastic claims Test 2 Flashcards
Three basic themes:
Hint (E, R, H)
- Evolutionary: First Nations evolved from earlier species of Hominid in the Western Hemisphere
- Religious: How revelations of the Pre-Columbian colonization of the New World by people of the Biblical tradition advances understanding of God’s historical mission among people.
- Historical: How, Why, and When ancient civilized explorers colonized the New World before 1492 and how amazing “facts” in the archaeological record, particularly artifacts with fantastic inscriptions on them, explain Pre-Columbian arrivals.
Louis Leakey (E)
discoverer of early human remains in Africa.
Suggested pebble tools in Calico Hills CA. site were real.
They were not
Sandia Cave, Hueyatlaco, Calico, Toca da Esperanca (E)
Strongly suggest a human presence over 200,000 years ago in the Americas
** Fact check this **
Red Earth, White Lies (Book) - Vine Deloria Jr (E)
“We are most probably really talking about the
emergence of several types of modern men on
different continents. We are still at a loss to
explain human origins.”
Heartfelt desire, not sound critical evaluation
of the facts
Ignatius Donnelly (H)
rediscovered the Classic myth of Atlantis.
He thought this lost continent was the
source of ancient civilization in both the
Old World and the New World.
The Lost Continent of Mu - Col. James Churchward
Continents of Mu and Atlantis subsided in catastrophic explosions of gases trapped in massive, earth-girdling
seams. The map of the world was transformed in a
single destructive event.
Earlier migrants from Mu and Atlantis, and refugees
from the destruction, founded the ancient civilizations of the world.

Mu, bronze figures, Naacal

Mu as the Mistress and ruler of the whole earth.
Churchward learned secrets of Mu from an Indian mystic Rishi, who taught him Naacal.

Churchward’s Alphabetic Table for deciphering
Maya inscriptions found in Central America and
Mexico.
Same for Egyptian Hieroglyphs.
The idea of the great Common Source is the basic
premise of Diffusionary Paradigms for Ancient
Civilization.
W.Niven - Highland Mexico 1921
Carved stone tablets “discovered” in
Highland Mexico 1921
A good fraud requires a good adventure story. Stones were discovered in Clay pits near Amantla at a depth of 4 meters.
“Dr. Morley said strange symbols unlike anything he
had ever seen in Mexico or elsewhere.
Churchward says tablets at least 12,000 years old
One of the tablets “symbolizes dual principle of the Creator”
Maya Shell Gorget 1986
A Fake Maya Shell Gorget displayed in
1986 at the AMNH, New York.
The glyphs do not form a readable text.
But the “experts” responsible for the
exhibit could not read Mayan glyphs.
Modern THeory of Plate Tectonics (From WHERE to WHERE)
From Africa towards Asia over the last 135 million years.
Continental Drift is fantastic and real.
Solutrean People (When, Where)
20,000 to 15,000 BP
Western Europe (France and Spain)
Very cold throughout northern hemisphere in late Solutrean times
Solutrean People (Tools, Art)
Heat-treated flint to make sophisticated
stone tools
Fine pressure flaking
Finely made, bifacially flaked, symmetrical,
leafs-shaped projectile points
Bas-Relief Art
Dennis Stanford
(WIKIPEDIA)
Dennis J. Stanford (born 13 May 1943 in Cherokee, Iowa) is an archaeologist and Director of the Paleoindian/Paleoecology Program at the National Museum of Natural History at the Smithsonian Institution.
Along with Prof. Bruce Bradley, Stanford is known for advocating the Solutrean hypothesis, which contends that stone tool technology of the Solutrean culture in prehistoric Europe may have influenced the development of the later Clovis tool-making culture in the Americas by way of an earlier trans-atlantic European migration to North America during the Last Glacial Maximum. In 2012, they published details concerning their hypothesis in Across Atlantic Ice: The Origin of America’s Clovis Culture.
