The elliptical “bays” — a half million of them — in the eastern half of the US seem to indicate that, just as with the extinction of the dinosaurs when a mega-comet hit the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico — a HUGE comet or several or many chunks hit the earth, and the blast and fire devastated the earth in the impact area and many large forms of life as secondary chunks from the main impact area rained down at steep angles.

.

.

The timing of this suggests that not only the saber-tooth tigers, mammoths, giant sloths, wild horses, and short-faced cave bears were annihilated, but also the white Solutreans from Europe. Perhaps 95% were wiped out by this tragedy. When both the animals they hunted had died out from the blast or from the vegetation dying on which those animals (especially horses and mammoths) had fed, THEN the Mongolians began to enter North America. And with a vast numerical superiority they slaughtered the few male Solutreans who had survived, sparing only those women and girls whom they saw as usable as sex or work slaves. (Whites presumably had no overwhelming technological superiority over “the Indians” back then — it was their spears versus our spears, but 10 spears to 1 in their favor.)

I am a big believer, as you know,  John, in the Younger Dryas cometary impact theory. It explains so many mysteries of Ice Age America, such as the “Carolina Bays” — and there are similar “bays” even out in Nebraska! The interesting this is that all of them radiate from a distant point (which may not have been Greenland, but in one or two areas now found in the Great Lakes region).

.

Some say the space between the thumb and the fingers of the “mitten” of Michigan was gouged out by the comet or perhaps further north.

.

*** [from Quora https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-Carolina-Bays]

.

This map suggested that maybe two comets hit earth, one near Madison, Wisconsin, and the other in the Saginaw, Michigan area.  Or perhaps the one huge comet cracked from the heat of entering earth’s atmosphere (which the Soviet and NASA astronauts faced in our tnme upon reentry) and then it split into two enormous chunks.

.

Carolina Bays are elliptical or oval depressions found in the southeastern United States, primarily in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia. They are typically shallow, with sandy rims and clay bottoms, and range in size from a few hundred feet to several miles in length. One popular theory is that the Carolina Bays were formed by the impact of a comet or asteroid during the Pleistocene epoch, around 10,000 to 100,000 years ago. This theory suggests that the impact of the extraterrestrial object created the elliptical depressions and the surrounding rims.

• I say this because these pocosin holes or “bays” are all elliptical, like when you throw a snowball onto concrete, it makes an elliptical shape.

The theory here is that the comet hit the Laurentide Ice Sheet (which covered Ice-Age Canada and the northeastern third of the US with such force that it actually blasted huge portions of the glaciers, pieces as big as apartment buildings, from some northern point all the way to the Carolinas and Nebraska.

.

• The mega fauna die off. Of course not all of the mammals that died were megafauna. And many smaller mammals died as well. This cannot be explained by the “over-hunting” hypothesis.

.

• The Scablands (an huge area out west with the topsoil mostly washed and scoured away). Once that comet hit, some scientists believe it released an amount of water in a massive on-rushing torrent that was much greater than all the water contained today in the Great Lakes. If you look at those scablands, it seems to be the only solution to their formation.

.

.

As temperatures rose and the Laurentide Ice Sheet retreated, it is believed that, northwest of the current Great Lakes, there originally was one huge lake, Lake Agassiz, that suddenly burst forth, losing half of its water, which drained off to the west, scouring part of the west’s topsoil away and raising ocean levels worldwide by 200 feet (61 meters). Ice water melted from glaciers several miles thick that had covered the truly huge area that now is Canada.    

.

• The black mat [a black layer of charred and burned vegetation] that is just above the last Clovis [ = Solutrean offshoot] settlements. Now, not everybody died, just as you said, but that remnant, I believe, did survive in certain areas, as shown by the very tall skeletons that have been found in the mounds [as in the so-called “mound-builder culture”).

.

Some of these Red Men worshipped us as gods and we were their rulers. Some of those verified skeletal remains of the Mound Builders are huge—some approaching seven-foot tall (213 cm) and a female skeleton that was 6’8″ (203 cm) . Of course, a lot of the bogus, fake skeletons have muddied the waters.

.

Others were bent on wiping us out, hence incidents such as at Lovelock Cave, although I am not sure of the timeline of Lovelock.

.

But even we, up against a 1000-to-one force of Indians, cannot always prevail.

.

I think the Vikings found that out here, as well. Too many damn “Skraelings” [Viking word for the often hostile Amerindians] — and they were pretty good with the bow and arrow and ambushes.

.

By the way, that black mat goes all across the Northern Hemisphere into Russia, from what I understand, meaning this was a global catastrophe for the Northern Hemisphere.

.

The theory being these that there was one huge chunk that hit somewhere in Canada or Greenland or Michigan and hundreds of smaller chunks that hit across the north.

.

FYI: The Earth has passed through that stream of meteors every year for centuries, right? Meaning every year for decades we have been re-bombarded with smaller but still quite destructive cometary fragments.

The Scablands formation was an example of a devastatingly quick event.

So much soot, ash and smoke, etc., was released into the atmosphere from these massive continent-engulfing wildfires that it helped bring on the Younger Dryas.

As far as the Ice-Age white European Solutreans, it was a hop-skip-and-a jump for them to voyage along the glacial coastline with tons of marine life to feast on all along the way. Of course they got here! It’s what we do!

.

I replied:

.

Yes. Of course, the whole Solutrean topic has been “debunked” by the Establishment in its usual fanatical way ever since around 2010. After all, it can be used to promote “white supremacism,” end white guilt toward the Indians — for it was they who were the “settler colonialists”; it was they who stole OUR land, and the Indians massacred OUR people.

This Carolina Bays thing is amazing! …and also the speculation about the Saginaw, Michigan notch in the “mitten”.

Wiki on these “bays”:

.

Carolina bays vary in size from one to several thousand acres. About 500,000 of them are present in the classic area of the Atlantic Coastal Plain, many in groups aligned in a northwest–southeast direction.

.

Yikes! 500,000 of these elliptical bays from New York to Florida!!!!

And a NW-SE orientation of the Carolina Bays DOES point toward possibly Michigan and southern Wisconsin!

In dark blue the eastern UP was still under water (with the western UP, my area, being at a higher elevation). Lakes Superior, Michigan, and Huron were all one big lake, called today by geologists “Lake Algonquin.”  In yellow are two possible comet-impact areas: 1) Saginaw, Michigan, which forms a notable “notch,” or scar, or a gouge, and southern Wisconsin.

…Island offers new Solutrean evidence

Denis Diderot (1713-84) was a French author, a father of the Enlightenment in Europe, and the co-inventor of the encyclopedia:…..meaning many authors and many thousands of articles in all areas of  knowledge.

Wiki:

Diderot struggled financially throughout most of his career and received very little official recognition of his merit, including being passed over for membership in the Académie française. His fortunes improved significantly in 1766, when Russian Empress Catherine the Great, who heard of his financial troubles, generously bought his 3,000-volume personal library, amassed during his work on the Encyclopédie, for 15,000 livres tournois. (These were French pounds, coins minted at Tours, France, with one livre then being worth 1/3 gram of gold…which is US$105 per livre. So the 15,000 French livres from the Russian empress were worth $1.5 million), and offered him, in addition, a thousand more livres per year [$105,000] to serve as the library’s custodian while he lived.

He accepted, and received 50 years’ “salary” up front from her [$500,000], and stayed five months at her court in Saint Petersburg in 1773 and 1774, sharing discussions and writing essays on various topics for her several times a week.^[6][7]

PARSONS ISLAND — With the Chesapeake Bay sloshing at his knee-high boots, Darrin Lowery stood back and squinted at a 10-foot-tall bluff rising above a narrow strip of beach. To the untrained eye, this wall of sandy sediment is the unremarkable edge of a modest island southeast of theBay Bridge.

*** JdN:

Darris Lowery, PhD, was raised on Tilghman Island and has deep [Maryland] Eastern Shore roots extending back to the mid-1600s. He has bachelor’s and master’s degrees in anthropology and archaeology, and a doctorate degree in geology from the University of Delaware, where he continues to serve in adjunct faculty positions. His affiliation with the Smithsonian includes a research fellowship, a research associate position and a post-doctoral fellowship.

[source: https://www.baltimoresun.com/2024/05/24/chesapeake-timeline-humans-americas/]

To Lowery, a coastal geologist, its crumbling layers put the island at the center of one of the most contentious battles in archaeology: when and how humans first made their way into the Americas.

The story of the first Americans has long been a matter of public and scientific fascination, undergirded at times by vicious disagreements. The timeline of when people arrived has shifted earlier in grudging steps over the past century, and scientists today mostly agree people were in the Americas at least 15,000 years ago.

Lowery’s site and others like it could revise the story again, pushing back the timeline earlier than most experts thought possible. In total, Lowery and a motley crew of collaborators have discovered 286 artifacts from the site on the island’s southwestern edge. The oldest, they reported, was embedded with charcoal dated to more than 22,000 years ago, a time when much of the [North American] continent would have been covered in ice sheets [but certainly not Maryland, the South and most of the southern Midwest].

New claims of sites dated this far back face a wall of skepticism, rooted in legitimate scientific scrutiny and in the threat they pose to long-entrenched views.

To complicate matters, Lowery — who has been affiliated with the Smithsonian but does much of his work independently — presented the results of his study of Parsons Island in a 260-page manuscript posted online rather than in a traditional peer-reviewed journal.

The peer-review process is designed to help validate scientific claims, but Lowery argues that in archaeology it often leads to a circle-the-wagons mentality, allowing scientists to wave away evidence that doesn’t support the dominant paradigm. He says he isn’t seeking formal publishing routes because “life’s too short,” comparing this aspect of academic science to “the dumbest game I’ve ever played.”

“The visit reinforced my will to invest my time into this time period, because it’s a very fragile record,” said Sebastien Lacombe, an archaeologist at Binghamton University, who visited the island in 2017. “It’s at risk of disappearing, and we’re at risk of [allowing] these sites and artifacts to lose their meaning forever.”

‘A weirdo kid’

Lowery began exploring the Chesapeake shoreline as a child, wandering his backyard on Tilghman Island, about 15 miles southwest of Parsons Island.

*** Map of the upper Chesapeake Bay east of Washington DC, and Annapolis and Baltimore in Maryland

The Chesapeake Bay itself was a big gouge in the earth created by a bolide strike (from a comet or meteor) which formed the ancient Susquehanna River. As the Ice Age gradually ended, salt water from the Atlantic gradually flowed northward, making the water rise and the dry land of much of Ice Age Maryland into islands.

Wiki:

Much of the Bay is shallow. At the point where the Susquehanna River flows into the Bay, the average depth is 30 feet (9 m), although this soon diminishes to an average of 10 feet (3 m) southeast of the city of Havre de Grace, Maryland, to about 35 feet (11 m) just north of Annapolis. [JdN: In the Ice Age, the water rose by 200 feet/69 meters.] The average depth of the Bay is 21 feet (6.4 m), including tributaries;^[15] over 24 percent of the Bay is less than 6 ft (2 m) deep.^[16]

In 1977, 9-year-old Lowery picked up a distinctive fluted stone projectile point. A few years later, he saw something similar on a documentary on public television, in which a Smithsonian archaeologist explained it was a Clovis point, a relic of what most people then believed were the first Americans.

.

For the last half of the 20th century, the peopling of the Americas followed a tidy [jewish] narrative. Humans traveled from Siberia across a land bridge that connected Asia and North America during the last Ice Age, when sea levels dropped.

They then migrated southward around 13,000 years ago, when the ice sheets covering the continent retreated and exposed a previously impassable inland route. These people — named after a site in Clovis, New Mexico — left behind distinctive, fluted stone points that have since been found scattered across North America.

Lowery turned to his dad and said, “I found one of those.”

He found more by walking the shoreline every day. Lowery made discoveries as he meandered, and he began to understand how seasonal patterns, sediment movement, wind and waves could unearth ancient treasures.

“I was a weirdo kid,” he recalled.

He trained as a geologist, and it was geology that initially attracted Lowery to study Parsons Island.

In 2010, he published an article in Quaternary Science Reviews describing layers of windblown silt deposited between 13,000 and 41,000 years ago at Miles Point in eastern Maryland. But the geological record is like reading the CliffsNotes version of a book, and he was frustrated by an “unconformity” in the sediment layers where thousands of years were missing, like someone had ripped out those chapters.

Lowery and a colleague were prowling around in a boat, looking for a spot that might fill in the blanks, when they spotted a black streak of sediment rising out of the bay. They pulled up to Parsons Island and thought they had found “the Rosetta stone” to decode the geology.

Parsons is a 78-acre island less than a mile offshore that is privately owned by the Corckran family, which uses it as a family retreat. With the Corckrans’ permission, Lowery and colleagues began to visit regularly. The bluff layers preserved a remarkably intact geologic timeline going back more than 40,000 years.

Then, one morning in August 2013, the team discovered a leaf-shaped prehistoric stone tool jutting out of this crumbling wall. They knew from the work they’d already done that it was probably quite old.

On a recent visit to the island, geoarchaeologist Daniel Wagner demonstrated why. He stepped back to scan the cliff, then tapped a narrow spade into a light tan sediment layer just above his head. That, he said, is the geologic “chapter” where they’d expect to find Clovis artifacts. Lower layers were set down before Clovis.

The palm-size tool Lowery and his colleague found came out of the dark sediment layer near their knees.

The scientists used two methods to date the sediment around the artifact, both showing it was more than 20,000 years old. They scoured the beach on 93 visits and conducted a formal, top-down excavation, collecting the 286 artifacts. They sent out sediment to labs that specialize in studying ancient pollen and microfossils called phytoliths to help reconstruct the ecosystem at the time.

Back then, this region wouldn’t have been a coastline. The sediment the tools are embedded in dates to the “last glacial maximum” — the scientific term for the most recent coldest period of the Ice Age. In the final analysis, Lowery thinks the artifacts may have been transported downslope before they were buried, making them between 15,000 and 20,500 years old.

“This was a swale, where water was collecting,” Lowery said, envisioning the ancient landscape. “You’ve got a dune. It’s got sedges [a rough kind of beach grass] and small trees on it that are windblown and all contorted, and then behind it you’ve got a little pond.”

That pond may have attracted prehistoric bison, musk oxen and llamas, whose fossilized molars he’s found scattered on the island shore. And it may have been what attracted the mysterious people who left behind a cache of stone tools.

A story in flux

Claims of early sites present a challenge on two fronts. The first is technical: Dating a site convincingly can be difficult, depending on the context. Sediments can shift or be disturbed. What at first look like artifacts can turn out to be “geofacts,” created not by humans but by natural processes or animals.

As a result, many pre-Clovis sites “enjoy a Warhol-esque 15 minutes of fame, and then they disappear” because of real problems with the geology or the methods, said archaeologist James Adovasio. In 1973, he began excavating Meadowcroft Rockshelter in Pennsylvania, which dated back 16,000 years. It was instantly mired in controversy, and the site still has its critics today.

*** Anthropologist James Adovasio

***

The second challenge reflects the culture of science. For a long time, people who claimed to find pre-Clovis sites were swimming upstream against deeply entrenched thinking. Tom Dillehay, an archaeologist at Vanderbilt University, began working on a site in southern Chile called Monte Verde in 1977, which was dated to 14,500 years ago. He recalled a group of researchers he calls the “Clovis police,” scientific gatekeepers who summarily rejected any pre-Clovis sites, sometimes for valid reasons and sometimes as a knee-jerk reaction.

Monte Verde began to change that. In 1997, a group of respected archaeologists visited the site and declared it authentic.

“It took about 25 to 30 years for Monte Verde to be accepted,” Dillehay said. “We went through hell.”

Lowery says he isn’t interested in running that gantlet. He noted that he drew on multiple labs and methods for dating the Parsons Island artifacts in an effort to ensure that any one extremely old date isn’t a fluke. He’s also invited other researchers in to visit and study the site.

That approach irritates some scientists. David Meltzer [jew], an archaeologist at Southern Methodist University, said in an email that he would not discuss Lowery’s claims “until they go through the wringer of peer review and get published.”

Others like Stuart Fiedel, an independent archaeologist based in western Massachusetts who has been skeptical of other sites, say the site should not fly under the radar just because of Lowery’s unconventional process.

“There are people I know in the field who will not pay any attention to it, because it has not been peer-reviewed, which I think is kind of sticking your head in the sand,” Fiedel said. “It’s there. We can’t act as [if] nothing’s been found there.”

A bigger issue may be the site’s rapid erosion. Most of the artifacts were found after they’d fallen out of the bluff, which means their place in the geologic timeline is obscured. Nine artifacts were found in place, and only three were able to be dated using charcoal flecks found next to them.

Steven Forman, a geoscientist at Baylor University, helped date the sediment layers at Parsons Island, corroborating findings from another lab. He said that it’s hard to find the artifacts in the kind of bulletproof geological context needed to support extraordinary claims.

“The case is not as tight as we like to see it with other sites,” Forman said.

Michael Waters, an archaeologist at Texas A&M University who has worked on pre-Clovis sites and excavated at Parsons Island, thinks he probably got there too late, when most of the artifacts had already been eroded out. Still, he pays someone to monitor the bank profile on a regular basis, because he’s ready to jump on a plane if they see something in place.

“Too bad we didn’t get there four to five years sooner,” Waters said.

Enter ancient DNA

Parsons Island isn’t the only site that could dramatically push back human arrival in the Americas. Last fall, a study published in the journal Science [one of the top science journals on earth] described fossilized human footprints discovered at White Sands National Park in New Mexico [also a nuclear testing area] that have been dated to between 21,000 and 23,000 years ago. That stunning finding suggests people were here during the Ice Age — much earlier than most experts thought possible if the first humans arrived via the Bering land bridge and inland corridor.

The dates at White Sands are still being disputed because of questions about the methods. But the timeline collides head-on with another exciting line of evidence: studies of ancient DNA.

By examining genetic material preserved in bones and teeth and comparing those samples with modern populations, scientists have been able to track when populations mingled and became isolated from one another, offering a new window into patterns of human migration.

In broad strokes, they’ve found that the ancestors of Native Americans split from ancient Siberian populations no earlier than 23,000 years ago. The studies can’t say where such splits took place, but many scientists interpret genetic evidence to mean that the ancestors of modern people weren’t in the Americas until much later.

Genetic studies suggest that Native American [sic] ancestors traveled into what is now the United States between 17,500 and 14,600 years ago.

Joe Watkins, a senior consultant for Archaeological and Cultural Education Consultants in Tucson, Arizona, and a Choctaw tribal member, said that he sees a few problems with using the still-evolving DNA evidence to decide how ancient sites are related to modern-day people.

“The reality is genetics does not equal culture,” Watkins said. He also argued that there are still too few samples of ancient DNA in the Americas to be sure they capture the whole story.

“Trying to create population histories based on 10 people, if you will, is a little bit of a scientific conundrum,” Watkins said.

It could be that additional ancient genomes will one day help fill in the blanks. Another possibility is that earlier sites could represent small, isolated groups of people who didn’t contribute to the ancestry of living Native Americans [sic].

“Let’s suppose you have a successful population colonizing an area, and then one day, 15 males go out and get eaten by a short-faced bear,” Lowery said. “You reduce the genetic diversity, and bada boom, bada bing, game over.”

All this explodes the neat picture of one population migrating into the Americas as ice sheets retreated, hunting big animals like mammoths and giant sloths, driving them into extinction as they went. If there were small groups making their way into the New World, with different stone tool technologies, and far earlier than previously believed, how did they get here?

People could have migrated along the coast by boat, following a “kelp highway.” It’s also possible the ice sheet was not as impenetrable as experts have long thought. Lowery’s longtime collaborator, Dennis Stanford, proposed that people crossed the Atlantic Ocean in what is known as the Solutrean Hypothesis, though that idea has been rejected by many [cowardly] archaeologists [who want more federal funding].

To resolve the question, scientists need to keep looking for more evidence. Archaeology is a historical science, and unlike chemistry or biomedicine, where researchers can perform the same experiment over and over again to see if they get the same results, consensus is built by argument, counterargument and new evidence.

To a certain extent, older ideas and prejudices also fall away as new people enter the field, said James Feathers, who performed dating on samples from Parsons Island before he retired from the University of Washington.

“Sometimes you have to wait for people to die off,” Feathers said.

Lowery is determined to keep motoring around the Chesapeake, researching the ephemeral landscape that he loves and that may contain clues about human prehistory. He acknowledges that the sites, perhaps a little bit like him, are “persnickety” but that shouldn’t deter interest in them. Instead, it should spur more.

He noted that if a pod of silverfish was found gnawing on documents in the National Archives, people would be galvanized to act.

“I view it as my swan song,” Lowery said, “to say you can learn a lot from [an] eroding site if you do a little bit of effort and look at it systematically.”
