The Clovis Fluted Point was first found and recognized
in 1929 and named for the site in which it was found, Clovis New Mexico.
The Clovis is
associated with what science calls the Clovis
Culture and they date this period at 13,500 years ago attributed to what they call
the Paleo-Indian.
The Fluted Clovis
Spear Head
Now we know that the people who are responsible for
these artifacts could not possibly have been here 13,500 years ago by reasons
covered in the Book Nephite North and concerning the Radio Metric Guessing game
and the reliability of it along with other reasons found in other sections of the book
supporting a young earth belief. So we are left to look at the evidence from a
different perspective as we know that the people responsible arrived here about
600 BC. There are only three significant groups of people considered, who came
to this land and established colonies if you exclude the modern day Gentile
which includes the Roman Colonies. One whose arrival was about 2400 BC,(Jaredite) another
some time prior to 900 BC (People of India) and the latter of 600 BC (Hebrew), the latter is likely the creators
of the Clovis and
Solutrean technology. Why would I NOT suspect the people who came here in
2400BC as being responsible for the Clovis
and fluted points? The primary reason is that the tools don’t match the size of
the people who would have made them, they were an average height of 9 feet and
another is that at the end of their existence there would have been copper and
brass tools found with the Paleo tools, but there are many other connecting
reasons as well. Why not the people who came prior to 900 AD? Mainly because
the location is wrong, there is no evidence they were in the Eastern states.
The suspect people arrived on this continent very near or at the Delmarva Peninsula, in about 600 BC. These people likely
migrated up the Susquehanna or Delaware River where the Lehigh river meets the Delaware and established themselves in what is today
called Lehigh County, it is said its name sake is from
a very old Indian word. These people some would call the Adena Culture, others
would call them Nephites or Lamentites.
As I skim through all the information on the internet
today pertaining to the Clovis we find still, people arguing about who first
discovered America, I have the answer, It was God, so why can’t we stop with
the pride and just accept the fact that some man was the first here on this
continent and that man was Adam, call him white, black, yellow or pink if you
choose and mold him into your agenda, but this is a fact and regardless of the
evidences, this will be known in the end and as I have said before, this was
approximately 6,000 years ago. Prior to Adam, there was no death on this planet
in its present creation.
So, if man did not come into existence until 6,000
years ago, when were these Paleo-Indians
coming here to make the Fluted and or Clovis points?
I have already explained the many reasons in Nephite North as to why
the Radio Carbon Guessing game just
doesn’t work and the fallacy of an Ice Age let alone a second one, so what have
we to go on? Facts? what a novel idea!
It is a fact that someone made them, it is a fact that
they did it some time in the past and it is a fact that they were made on this
continent. What color their skin was, is not an issue because frankly I don’t
care, do you?
The Clovis
information has come a long way since 1929, many sites have been discovered
across this continent and every time a location was discovered that seemed to
support the land bridge theory or 4.5 Billion years old earth and evolution,
you would hear about it if you were the kind who listens for it but we never
did. There are many things about this Clovis
you didn’t know.
Clovis points can be found from the West to the East
and from the North to the South and the Clovis
technology did not just stop at some point in the past never to be made again. Clovis arrowheads were made long after the crucifixion.
If you were the indigenous of this land living here 1500 years ago and you
found a cache of Clovis points, are you going
to use them? Or will you just throw them away and park you butt on a rock some
place and make your own, Your Way? Would you learn from what you found or cast
them to the ground as some out dated method you simply could not accept? This
is the reason why Clovis is spread all over the Americas, but there is one
thing I can agree with and it is, where you find the highest concentration
Clovis/Fluted sites, is likely the place of first inhabitance on this land with
respect to those whom it pertains to.
In recent years, a very sharp man in my humble
opinion, by the name of Dennis Stanford
of the Smithsonian Institute no less, gave a lecture at Gustavus Aldophus
College, Saint Peter, Minnesota of which you can view on Youtube (The
Blue Eyed Indian), where in he explains some very interesting
information pertaining to Clovis. This mentioned video is now gone from
Youtube, however Dennis’s presentations continue and you can see one of the
latest at the same college here…

In spite of the fact that Mr. Stanford has been sucked
into the 4.5 Billion Year old earth theory giving erroneous dates based on theCarbon 14 Guessing game, Mr. Stanford shows facts concerning Clovis and Solutrean
technology which the majority with his level of expertise likely would not. I
am not surprised to find that according to Mr. Stanford and the evidence he
shows, that there are more Clovis Sites on the Delmarva Peninsula in Delaware and Maryland than
from the Rocky Mountains west. What better
place to find such a thing than at the very place that a certain people first
landed and first inhabited the Americas
in 600 BC? And they came from the Iberian Peninsula carrying the Haplo Group X DNA! But some
one was already here…
In Mr. Stanford’s lecture he makes a definitive
connection with the Solutrean Culture of Spain and France, a culture thought to
have existed 21,000 to 17,000 years ago and disappearing around 15,000 years
ago. Gee, I wonder where they went. Mr. Stanford shows what can only be
Solutrean tools (Pre Clovis) found at
numerous sites on the Delmarva Peninsula, at a slightly deeper level from where
Clovis is normally found and in comparison it
would appear this is where the people once located in France and Spain disappeared to. Could the
people referred to as the Adena Culture carrying the Haplogroup X DNA have left
this area of Spain
in 600 BC? Absolutely.
Regardless, if in fact the Solutrean Culture and the
Clovis Culture are one and the same people, they were not the first Americans.
Why is it we do not find similar evidence of the first Americans? The People of
Japeth or whom some call Jaredites? The answer is simple, copper and brass
deteriorate….
I will give the reader a reminder in comparing the
Haplogroup X distribution map from the book Nephite North and that of
the Clovis/Solutrean Map below. Compare to Solutrean and Clovis maps.
Haplogroup X Distribution
What are the chances that these two places of origins
and first inhabitance could be in the same places and yet to date we still have
no connection to Siberia whether linguistic, or by artifact and yet those
stubborn prideful men of science still refuse to believe in a God and turn to
his scribes rather than Darwin. Why not just create an ice bridge from Europe
to New England
with a 3rd ice age? Is it any less ridiculous than the Bering
hypothesis? My thanks goes out to Dennis Stanford for the incredible and
undisputable evidence he and his colleagues have presented, but even with all
of the evidence he has brought forth with the use of the erroneous dates given,
I am left wondering who this mans God is? Darwin or the God of Abraham,
regardless, Thank You.
In the following article from FoxNews.com titled European
Seal Hunters may have been the first Americans, it seems those responsible
for it are trying desperately to cast doubt on the hypothesis of Dennis
Stanford…
The tools don’t match
Recent studies (but
we’re not going to tell you what they are!)
have suggested that
the glaciers that helped form the bridge connecting Siberia and Alaska [presented
as if it were a fact] began
receding around 17,000 to 13,000 years ago, leaving very little chance that
people walked from one continent to the other.
Also, when archaeologist Dennis Stanford of the
Smithsonian Institution places American spearheads, called Clovis points,
side-by-side with Siberian points, he sees a divergence of many characteristics.
Instead, Stanford said today, Clovis points
match up much closer with Solutrean style tools, which researchers date to
about 19,000 years ago. This suggests that the American people making Clovis points made
Solutrean points before that.
There’s just one problem with this
hypothesis—Solutrean toolmakers lived in France and Spain. Scientists
know of no land-ice bridge that spanned that entire gap. <slaps
forehead> Can you say
moron?
Why can’t these people get away from this land ice bridge
ice age crap, haven’t they ever heard of a boat? Apparently they diminish those
responsible for the Solutrean and Clovis tool
to the point of it not being possible these people knew more about boats than
even Dennis gives them credit for. The problem is their erroneous dates given
by using the Radio Metric Guessing game.
The lost hunting party
Stanford has an idea for how humans
crossed the Atlantic, though—boats. Art from that era indicates that Solutrean
populations in northern Spain were hunting marine animals, such as seals,
walrus, and tuna.
They may have even made their way into the floating
ice chunks that unite immense harp seal populations in Canada and Europe each year. Four
million seals, Stanford said, would look like a pretty good meal to hungry
European hunters, who might have ventured into the ice flows much the same way
that the Inuit in Alaska and Greenland do today.
Inuit use large, open hunting boats constructed from
animal skins for longer trips or big hunts. These boats, called
umiaq, can hold a dozen adults, as well as several children, dead seals or
walruses, and even dog-sled teams. Inuit have been building these boats for
thousands of years, and Stanford believes that Solutrean people may have used a
similar design.
It’s possible that some groups of these hunters
ventured out as
far as Iceland,
where they may have gotten caught up in the prevailing currents and were
carried to North America.
“You get three boats loaded up like this and you would
have a viable population,” Stanford said. “You could actually get a whole bunch
of people washing up on Nova
Scotia.”
Some scientists believe that the Solutrean peoples
were responsible for much of the cave art in Europe. Opponents
of Stanford’s work ask why, then, would these people stop producing art once
they made it to North America?
“I don’t know,” Stanford said. “But you’re looking at
a long distance inland, 100 miles or so, before they would get to caves to do
art in.”
Not only is it possible the Solutreans
ventured out as far as Iceland,
but if they would look a little harder they just might find Solutrean sites in
and around Reykjavik,
Raudhkollsstadhir
and Stykkishólmur and they
will eventually find this was an intentional act in establishing a trade route.
These people were not the simple minded people they portray them as, they
didn’t just pile into a big bowl like boat and drift until there luck panned
out. They may have hunted the marine animals mentioned but when their luck was
poor, they always had their gardens to turn to. As for the question asked by
Stanford’s opponents regarding cave art? Perhaps they have never heard of
Native American Pictographs and Petroglyphs. They will also come to know some
day, these people were not necessarily Europeans by today understands but were
Hebrews coming out of Jerusalem or a branch of Israel.

The Solutrean
hypothesis is an alternative
theory about the Settlement of
the Americas, according to
which peoples from Europe may
have been among the earliest settlers of the American continent. The theory
that is currently most widely accepted, and which is supported by genetic,
linguistic and archaeological evidence, considers the American continent to
have been populated from Asia either
via the Bering land bridge or by
sea The Solutrean hypothesis was first proposed in 1998. Its key proponents
include Dennis Stanford, of the Smithsonian Institution, and Bruce
Bradley, of the University of Exeter
According to this hypothesis, people
associated with the Solutrean culture migrated from Ice Age Europe to North America, bringing their methods of making stone toolswith them
and providing the basis for the later Clovis technology found throughout North
America. The hypothesis rests upon proposed similarities between European
Solutrean and Early American Clovis lithic technology. Many archaeologists
have criticized the proposed similarities as too insignificant and just as
likely to be due to chance as to shared origins. As one has said, "few if
any archaeologists -- or, for that matter, geneticists, linguists, or physical
anthropologists -- take seriously the idea of a Solutrean colonization of America."
Though the proponents cite recent
archaeological findings in support of the theory, the hypothesis has generally
not been well received. A recent DNA study challenges a genetic argument often
made in favor of the hypothesis. The study argues against the apparently
anomalous mtDNA Haplogroup X2A having migrated to the Americas via an
Atlantic route. (Wiki)

What does this all mean? It means these so
called “Paleo Indians” were not here
12,800 years ago.
Concerning Chapter 7 of Nephite North,
Oceanic Evidences and Oil Deposits it
was this information about the Clovis/Solutrean connection that caused me to
lean more towards a lower Narrow Neck location. The red dot is
a prime location for arrowhead source material; it just didn’t make sense that
the people would cross the upper location I had previously thought and then
come south and out onto a peninsula to get their materials for Arrowheads. I also noticed that this above map helps shed
some light on where major battles may have taken place, and where they have
taken place several times for a very long time. Compare the above with not only
the new narrow neck location but all the previous information concerning Nephi
city, Lehi Valley, the first proposed landing place
and Zarahemla but not limited to. There
has also been a small source material place discovered in the extreme west end
of the Oklahoma
panhandle. See the two following images, the old proposed narrow neck and the
new one.
If the large red dot represents a major
source of flint in which much of the western arrowheads were made from it just
seems the narrow neck may not have been as you see above, although both
proposed narrow neck locations are plausible, the following just makes more
sense given this source location and where in the obvious battles took place at
its west end. But then again, the source material is where it is…. Just for notice, the above and below earth images
showing the oceans in BC times is not arbitrary, it is based on cretaceous data,
geologic and archeological evidence and oil/gas spot maps which can be very
telling, oil exploration and drilling is almost always where there was an
ancient ocean or large bodies of water. The problem with making it all come
together in proper time sequence is the erroneous faulty Radio Carbon Dating
system.
