Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: I see something is going to happen. What what's going
- 0:10Speaker 1: to happen?
- 0:12Speaker 2: I don't think.
- 0:15Speaker 3: What I help Well, I think it was ancestors shrine.
- 0:26Speaker 3: I mean that this had been a sacred shrine for years,
- 0:29Speaker 3: for millennia, you know, going back until even the Ice Age,
- 0:33Speaker 3: and that this was where they accumulated all their shrine,
- 0:37Speaker 3: all their ancestors shrine.
- 0:39Speaker 4: And totems are a dotamag and and the reason why
- 0:44Speaker 4: it was a place of worship and it was a
- 0:48Speaker 4: sacred place, and these all just were accumulated there like
- 0:52Speaker 4: a shrine for many many years, many thousands of years,
- 0:55Speaker 4: and just you know, accumulated there.
- 0:57Speaker 3: And I think the reason why they haven't been studied
- 1:03Speaker 3: more is because political motives from the Smithsonian blocked it.
- 1:10Speaker 3: And it needs to be studied and preserved and not
- 1:15Speaker 3: just thrown in a storage locker somewhere. I think it
- 1:21Speaker 3: should be repatriated and honored, you know, for what it is,
- 1:26Speaker 3: an ancestor trying.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Do you think it's a lot older than what's being said.
- 1:33Speaker 3: I mean, I think it goes it goes back to
- 1:36Speaker 3: the Ice Age and continuously was added to like like
- 1:40Speaker 3: every culture that lived there added to it and they
- 1:43Speaker 3: didn't take away from it. I think they just like
- 1:45Speaker 3: accumulated more and more things as they went along.
- 1:50Speaker 2: You said you mentioned ice age, and while you were
- 1:53Speaker 2: saying it earlier, I had to stop myself from asking
- 1:57Speaker 2: camels during the ice age? What we may not know?
- 2:01Speaker 2: But what do do you think it was like a
- 2:03Speaker 2: desert area or is it back then camels could take
- 2:07Speaker 2: the cold?
- 2:10Speaker 3: Well, I don't know that, I'm not sure, but just
- 2:12Speaker 3: the figurine of a camel is one of the really
- 2:15Speaker 3: interesting ones. And well, I think I have started out
- 2:19Speaker 3: this slide has a picture of it for this show there.
- 2:25Speaker 3: So the camel, you know, it literally has two humps
- 2:27Speaker 3: and the cross hatching all over it. And well, one
- 2:30Speaker 3: of the reasons is that is a pack animal. It
- 2:33Speaker 3: was great for crossing distances. And possibly it was brought
- 2:38Speaker 3: over on a boat. I mean maybe they were traveling
- 2:42Speaker 3: on boats like I show here. I mean all these
- 2:45Speaker 3: different routes they could get there, and they could bring
- 2:48Speaker 3: it with them and at any given time in history
- 2:52Speaker 3: may have made its way over there somehow with the
- 2:55Speaker 3: the people that brought it. And well, there's other symbols
- 3:01Speaker 3: that relate to murrh, like the the religious fragrance that
- 3:09Speaker 3: they would make from resin excuse me, and it was
- 3:15Speaker 3: similar area of vicinity that to the camel region. So
- 3:19Speaker 3: there's symbols of the mer tree found on these figurines merchry.
- 3:25Speaker 3: There's a legend that the merchury gave birth to the
- 3:28Speaker 3: hog or wild bore and then from that at that
- 3:33Speaker 3: time basically that was around Christmas time, so they would
- 3:36Speaker 3: have a tribute. They would attribute the fragrance burning from
- 3:41Speaker 3: the resin that the merchrey had with with Christmas time
- 3:45Speaker 3: and that was something that the tribes in the Middle
- 3:49Speaker 3: East did and it lasted up until about five hundred BC.
- 3:53Speaker 3: So some of the figurines are, you know, showing cultural
- 3:57Speaker 3: parallels there and whether they had I mean, they didn't
- 4:01Speaker 3: have merchery in North America, but they had the long
- 4:03Speaker 3: leaf pine nearby there, so that might have been one
- 4:05Speaker 3: of the reasons that they came there, was to get
- 4:07Speaker 3: the resin from the long leaf pine to make the
- 4:10Speaker 3: fragrance that they would burn around Christmas time.
- 4:13Speaker 2: I also have another and maybe I'm off on this,
- 4:17Speaker 2: but when we were young and we went through history,
- 4:20Speaker 2: we were always taught that when they when they accidentally
- 4:24Speaker 2: fell on the Americas. They thought they were going to India.
- 4:29Speaker 2: And if you were going to trade in India back then,
- 4:32Speaker 2: those are the things you probably would have. You would
- 4:34Speaker 2: have the camels to carry your purchase, your merchandise, you
- 4:38Speaker 2: would have the merg to trade. I don't know how
- 4:40Speaker 2: much of a value it was back then, So it
- 4:44Speaker 2: could Could it be that these items accidentally got here
- 4:47Speaker 2: because they ended up in the wrong place.
- 4:49Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely that that's possible too. When you know, when
- 4:52Speaker 3: the traders came over, they well, they thought it was
- 4:56Speaker 3: going to India and they may have just landed in
- 4:58Speaker 3: North America. And like Columbu said, it was India Indians
- 5:02Speaker 3: because they were thinking they landed in India, but in
- 5:05Speaker 3: fact they landed in North America. And that one of
- 5:09Speaker 3: the first maps of North America referred to a humped
- 5:14Speaker 3: animal being located in the North Carolina area. And humped animal, well,
- 5:20Speaker 3: could it be a camel or would it be a bison?
- 5:23Speaker 3: You know, it's hard to say, but the fact that
- 5:25Speaker 3: it had humped animal written on the map right where
- 5:28Speaker 3: North Carolina was is a pretty good indication that they
- 5:30Speaker 3: once lived there. And and you're right, it could could
- 5:35Speaker 3: well have been from trade or getting getting lost or
- 5:38Speaker 3: just ending up there by.
- 5:39Speaker 1: Accident, depending on how far back with the murder. I mean,
- 5:45Speaker 1: that was something that Egypt was pumping out like crazy
- 5:47Speaker 1: at one point. And when believe it or not, the
- 5:52Speaker 1: when Egypt was at its richest, it was being run
- 5:55Speaker 1: by a female and she know what she was doing
- 5:59Speaker 1: with the business, and she really did some crazy ship
- 6:02Speaker 1: with the trade, the trading systems, and that was one
- 6:05Speaker 1: of their top things, like they were getting rich off.
- 6:07Speaker 1: It's all on that ship.
- 6:09Speaker 3: Well. Yeah, and the tiny eat figuring even shows up
- 6:12Speaker 3: on site. So the Tonyat was Northern Africa leader near
- 6:17Speaker 3: Egypt and around five hundred BC timeframe, and so that
- 6:22Speaker 3: there's some figurings that correlate well also with Tony Eats
- 6:28Speaker 3: from the site. So it's yeah, it's amazing.
- 6:33Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:33Speaker 3: And the cross the cross hatched boats, I mean there's
- 6:36Speaker 3: there's rectangular boats that are covered in cross hatching. One
- 6:39Speaker 3: of the boats that was the best one, well it
- 6:41Speaker 3: disappeared from the collection, so someone took it. I mean
- 6:43Speaker 3: it's it's no longer in the collection. But that the
- 6:47Speaker 3: fact that they had actual figurings made like with in
- 6:51Speaker 3: the shape of canoes or boats that were covered in
- 6:53Speaker 3: cross hatching is totally amazing. Shows that the travel importance
- 6:58Speaker 3: was there.
- 7:00Speaker 1: There's a lot of there's a lot of different things
- 7:04Speaker 1: coming together in this spot. I feel like this is
- 7:08Speaker 1: very interesting.
- 7:11Speaker 3: Thank you. Yeah, I mean the trade routes. This kind
- 7:13Speaker 3: of shows the trade routes kind of come from all
- 7:15Speaker 3: over the world just converging there. And there's evidence these
- 7:19Speaker 3: are figurines that correlate to the totems or clan symbols
- 7:23Speaker 3: from those regions as well. So out of the nine
- 7:27Speaker 3: hundred and seventy, there's nine of them that have clan
- 7:31Speaker 3: symbols from these regions depicted on the map to show
- 7:35Speaker 3: that they traveled or they must have had these figurines
- 7:38Speaker 3: coming from those areas as well, or at least known
- 7:41Speaker 3: that the clan symbols existed over there.
- 7:46Speaker 2: We know that they come as far west as Ohio
- 7:51Speaker 2: that region and as far north as Canada. They've come
- 7:58Speaker 2: down there. How far south southern tribes do you think
- 8:03Speaker 2: may have moved up to there or had any communication
- 8:07Speaker 2: because it seems like either their trade lines or there
- 8:11Speaker 2: was something that had all these tribes that people originally
- 8:15Speaker 2: thought were having their own societies and didn't intermingle too much.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Actually did mingle more than we realize.
- 8:23Speaker 3: Yeah, there's capy Bearra figurines as well. Capy Bera is
- 8:27Speaker 3: an animal and totem figurine from South America.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Those things are awesome.
- 8:32Speaker 3: And so yeah, South America is represented in the collection
- 8:36Speaker 3: as a figuring the of the kapy Bera and so
- 8:40Speaker 3: there's evidence there a strong connection there as well. And
- 8:43Speaker 3: the fact that there's also Mexican type of clans. The monkey,
- 8:50Speaker 3: you know, there's there's a lot of monkeys that look
- 8:53Speaker 3: like Mexican. There's jaguars, you know, either the jaguars ice
- 8:57Speaker 3: age or it comes from south from Central America or Mexico.
- 9:00Speaker 3: So a lot of the symbols and clans represent this
- 9:05Speaker 3: long distance trade or or at least knowledge of these
- 9:07Speaker 3: other clan symbols.
- 9:12Speaker 1: Yeah, when you said jaguars before, it made me think
- 9:14Speaker 1: of like like Apocalypto. But yeah, but like that type
- 9:22Speaker 1: of stuff, like yeah, places like like Messo American ship,
- 9:27Speaker 1: Kathy Power. That's interesting that I love that animal. Do
- 9:30Speaker 1: you ever you know what that animal is?
- 9:31Speaker 2: Jud Yeah, there's very cute, very.
- 9:34Speaker 1: Cute yo, and like nothing fucks with them, like no, no,
- 9:40Speaker 1: but like it even shows them. I don't know if
- 9:42Speaker 1: it's alligators or crocodiles, and I'll screw that up. But
- 9:44Speaker 1: like they'll like walk through them, and they'll move out
- 9:46Speaker 1: of the way for them and won't even bald them.
- 9:49Speaker 1: It's like just so unreal, how like nothing really attacks
- 9:52Speaker 1: those animals, Like they're so chill. They're just saying, eh,
- 9:55Speaker 1: not even bald with that guy. I don't know. Pretty interesting,
- 10:02Speaker 1: And I wonder if I just find it interesting that
- 10:05Speaker 1: that animal you said that you found. I guess they
- 10:08Speaker 1: have like carvings of.
- 10:12Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the carvings of the the jaguar, the
- 10:17Speaker 3: katy Burrah, there's even emu carvings. There's just an incredible
- 10:23Speaker 3: variety of clay cybles shown, you know, all throughout from
- 10:30Speaker 3: all through the world.
- 10:37Speaker 1: Yeah, lady on Instagram who had like two of them,
- 10:40Speaker 1: like they'd come in the house and everything, and some
- 10:42Speaker 1: on the couch.
- 10:43Speaker 2: I was like, I didn't know there were rodents though.
- 10:47Speaker 1: Yeah, neither did I. Uh. Yeah, I was gonna say,
- 10:53Speaker 1: is that I feel like, you know, I mean, maybe
- 10:55Speaker 1: sometimes you just know there are cool animals. But I
- 10:59Speaker 1: do think a lot of times in symbolism, I think
- 11:01Speaker 1: when certain animals when they stick when they decide to
- 11:05Speaker 1: start drawing animals like over and over again, kind of
- 11:08Speaker 1: like in Egypt. I do think there's something specific to
- 11:11Speaker 1: that animal that they also find very unusual, not human
- 11:15Speaker 1: like or extrasensory. That maybe that's why they kind of
- 11:20Speaker 1: pick those animals. There's something special about them, So I
- 11:23Speaker 1: find that interesting that animal.
- 11:28Speaker 3: Yeah, the connection with all these animals being chosen for
- 11:33Speaker 3: their clans, I mean, there's a story that is it
- 11:37Speaker 3: goes that they would identify their clean that would be
- 11:42Speaker 3: the first animal that they would connect with or see
- 11:45Speaker 3: that would become their clean symbol. They would then choose
- 11:48Speaker 3: that sometime on a vision quest or a path where
- 11:53Speaker 3: they go from from juvenile to adulthood, they would decide
- 11:58Speaker 3: as to what their claim was and choose that as
- 12:01Speaker 3: part of their initiation to the tribe.
- 12:09Speaker 2: Actually, that actually makes sense because you will find those
- 12:13Speaker 2: type of rituals and traditions throughout it didn't matter all
- 12:17Speaker 2: from all the way north, all the way down to
- 12:19Speaker 2: the tip of South America. So it does make sense
- 12:22Speaker 2: that there's there was communication between them. And Darlene's mentioned
- 12:28Speaker 2: that it's said that the old in the Old world
- 12:33Speaker 2: of North America. It was everything was accessible through some
- 12:36Speaker 2: sort of a highway system of the rivers. So the
- 12:40Speaker 2: rivers were key to their which actually makes sense why
- 12:43Speaker 2: that river is right by that shrine.
- 12:47Speaker 1: Yeah, that's yeah, that's a way of transportation. If you
- 12:49Speaker 1: think about you know, you didn't have you sit of
- 12:52Speaker 1: the subways, use the waterways, you know what I'm saying.
- 12:56Speaker 1: That's right bad to get somewhere. I mean's you know,
- 13:00Speaker 1: you may not have you made you know, you may
- 13:03Speaker 1: not know exactly what you're facing, but if you got
- 13:08Speaker 1: enough bulls to do it, you don't get in there
- 13:10Speaker 1: and see if you can make it down.
- 13:14Speaker 3: Yeah. They had all these different clan symbols. There was
- 13:17Speaker 3: the bear, the bird, turtles, wildcat, panthers, snakes, canines, dogs
- 13:24Speaker 3: and wolves, animism. There were a lot of human fingerings
- 13:27Speaker 3: as well, little stone figurines. There were panels or pallettes, tablets,
- 13:34Speaker 3: you know, shown a lot of them. People the people
- 13:36Speaker 3: have been depicted as folks smoking. There were pipes and
- 13:40Speaker 3: everything as well. There were quartz bowls and cups and
- 13:47Speaker 3: like I mentioned, the cross thatched boats and the cooking
- 13:52Speaker 3: stones often were made of steel tight with a hole
- 13:54Speaker 3: through it. There were some that looked like cloves, you
- 13:58Speaker 3: know that there were like you were literally deer figurines
- 14:02Speaker 3: or animal scenes. Thunderbird there were thunderbird figurings as well,
- 14:07Speaker 3: everything imaginable. I mean there was. There's some more pictures
- 14:12Speaker 3: kind of showing, uh, generally what the quartz bowls were
- 14:17Speaker 3: looking like. There were stone balls and pipes and axes,
- 14:21Speaker 3: are salts. A lot of beads were found as well.
- 14:24Speaker 1: You know, I have to say that bottery is kind
- 14:26Speaker 1: of rather impressive for as old as it is. I mean,
- 14:29Speaker 1: maybe i'ah to get too much into it, but that
- 14:31Speaker 1: is actually just my opinion. If it does look like that,
- 14:35Speaker 1: that's pretty fine, Like that's impressive.
- 14:39Speaker 3: Well again, these are actually just created images from AI.
- 14:43Speaker 3: But but the depiction is there to show what was found.
- 14:48Speaker 3: Like that they identified a quartz bowl, was found a
- 14:50Speaker 3: stone ball, so I would.
- 14:52Speaker 1: Even think making a bowl out of quartz is kind
- 14:54Speaker 1: of assive.
- 14:55Speaker 3: Yeah, the courts it was described as veined court. That's
- 15:02Speaker 3: that was one of the first things they found, and
- 15:05Speaker 3: so it must have been sitting there like on the
- 15:06Speaker 3: surface when they walked up to it.
- 15:10Speaker 1: Do they test a silly question, did they test the
- 15:12Speaker 1: pipe to say if there was anything in it like
- 15:14Speaker 1: good did they test it for like chemicals that might
- 15:17Speaker 1: have been left over?
- 15:18Speaker 3: That's a good question. I really think they should because
- 15:21Speaker 3: when I was at the museum and I smelled the
- 15:24Speaker 3: pipe and it's smelled by smoke, I mean there's there's
- 15:27Speaker 3: definitely residue in there that could be tested and it
- 15:29Speaker 3: just hasn't been tested. It would be great to determine
- 15:33Speaker 3: what the what the material is a composition.
- 15:37Speaker 1: The less ahead.
- 15:39Speaker 2: Why do you think they're reluctant to do these tests.
- 15:43Speaker 3: I think it's because they don't want people to know
- 15:45Speaker 3: about it, and it would just open up so many questions,
- 15:50Speaker 3: I think.
- 15:51Speaker 2: I think also it would also prove them wrong on
- 15:55Speaker 2: what they have been telling us for decades. Yes, the
- 16:00Speaker 2: tribe to isolate actually with this shrine, if what I'm
- 16:08Speaker 2: assuming is correct, proves all that wrong. And they were
- 16:11Speaker 2: a little bit more sophisticated within their communication within within
- 16:16Speaker 2: these different tribes than they have been given credit for.
- 16:21Speaker 3: Yes, that's right. It would. It would prove intercontinental contact
- 16:27Speaker 3: with you know, with people that had camels and Rhino's rhinoceroses,
- 16:32Speaker 3: you know. Either that or it would prove a time
- 16:34Speaker 3: frame that lead people living here in the ice age.
- 16:37Speaker 3: You know, there's it would just open up a lot
- 16:38Speaker 3: of questions. I don't think they want those questions asked,
- 16:43Speaker 3: and so keep it in a Sworge locker. And well, look,
- 16:47Speaker 3: this is the list of all the ones that have
- 16:48Speaker 3: gone missing. The catalog here shows all the these were
- 16:53Speaker 3: numbered artifacts in their collection that are no longer there.
- 16:56Speaker 3: So these these have uh, these have been taken away
- 16:59Speaker 3: by somebody over the between the time they numbered them
- 17:02Speaker 3: and today.
- 17:04Speaker 2: Okay, hold on, you got a hippo that looks like
- 17:10Speaker 2: a hippopotamus. I don't know.
- 17:11Speaker 3: Maybe yeah, yeah, absolutely, there's there's hippopotamuses. There's they're not
- 17:18Speaker 3: from North Carolina.
- 17:19Speaker 2: They're not in North Carolina.
- 17:21Speaker 3: Right. There's hand figurines, foot legging figurines, and human figurines
- 17:27Speaker 3: of all sorts. Pipes, there's a lot of like these
- 17:31Speaker 3: perforated type of vessels or steetyde objects, access wedges, all
- 17:37Speaker 3: kinds of things.
- 17:39Speaker 2: I'm sorry, can do you remember off the top of
- 17:43Speaker 2: your head what hippoponamous Where hippopotamuses are native too? Because
- 17:48Speaker 2: I don't think they're in South America either, South Africa.
- 17:52Speaker 2: That's what I thought. So Wow. All I'm gonna say
- 18:01Speaker 2: is wow.
- 18:02Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it's amazing.
- 18:09Speaker 2: I I was thinking this earlier during your presentation, but
- 18:13Speaker 2: that site might actually might have been the Native Americans
- 18:19Speaker 2: version of the United Nations.
- 18:25Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, there was there was so much there
- 18:28Speaker 3: and this this slide shows some of the excavation descriptions
- 18:32Speaker 3: from the excavations that they found buried burned skeletons on
- 18:36Speaker 3: a on a side of a mound. They found small
- 18:40Speaker 3: skeletons with grave goods and terrapin shells.
- 18:45Speaker 1: Did you ever show this stuff to Jason Shaman?
- 18:49Speaker 3: Yes, I mean, yeah, Seaman. I've been communicating with Shaman, And.
- 18:52Speaker 1: Did he tell you that the mound that he found
- 18:54Speaker 1: over by him was almost basically shaped just like this? Yeah, dude,
- 19:01Speaker 1: if you take out the bones, the mountain looks just
- 19:04Speaker 1: like that. It was like calved. There was a mound
- 19:06Speaker 1: made and then the back of it like got carved
- 19:08Speaker 1: into and dug into the ground like you actually kind
- 19:12Speaker 1: of like go into the mound. To an extent, it's weird.
- 19:15Speaker 1: The backside this.
- 19:17Speaker 3: One, there was skeletons of child underneath a hearth the
- 19:20Speaker 3: hard floor, and it was in an envelope of clay.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Yeah, he was thinking that might have been somebody buried there.
- 19:28Speaker 3: And there was a kneeling too, kneeling skeletons describing a
- 19:32Speaker 3: mountain called mccomb's Mound.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Any elogated skulls, thanks Felix, Not.
- 19:40Speaker 3: That I know of. But the skull that that was
- 19:44Speaker 3: depicted earlier was, uh, was the one that had peered,
- 19:48Speaker 3: appeared to have been shot or blown up after death,
- 19:53Speaker 3: you know, a post mortem damage. And this one had
- 19:58Speaker 3: beads and shells underneath the burial, and it was in
- 20:02Speaker 3: a sitting up position. And this was called Smathers Mound.
- 20:06Speaker 3: And then the next mound this so there was Wells Farm.
- 20:10Speaker 3: Wells Mound had a sitting skeleton. I mean, this is
- 20:12Speaker 3: how they were buried. All of these different burials right
- 20:18Speaker 3: on that site. We're all fountains. He says. They were
- 20:21Speaker 3: found in nineteen eighty from November nineteen eighty to January
- 20:25Speaker 3: eighteen eighty one February, all of these were dug up
- 20:34Speaker 3: and there were stone box burial stone box grades as well,
- 20:39Speaker 3: rock coffins and stone box walls. All these were found
- 20:45Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty or eighteen eighty.
- 20:48Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, maybe it's me, but that's
- 20:52Speaker 2: almost like a oh gosh, I can't say the word correctly.
- 20:56Speaker 2: So the Egyptian sarcophagus, yes, thank you.
- 21:00Speaker 3: Yeah. Clay coffins like sarcophagus, Yeah, blue blue clay pots
- 21:06Speaker 3: were described to so these are actual blue play with
- 21:10Speaker 3: bears teeth in them.
- 21:17Speaker 2: Nick, I don't remember her name.
- 21:19Speaker 1: Uh, Darlene maybe.
- 21:21Speaker 2: Darlene, Yes, with what we what Darlene shared with us,
- 21:27Speaker 2: And with this there was definitely, I, without a doubt
- 21:31Speaker 2: at this point believed that throughout the world there was
- 21:36Speaker 2: at least on this side of the world, there was intermingling.
- 21:40Speaker 1: Yeah, at least I think it shows that at least
- 21:42Speaker 1: people came over here, like you're saying, yeah, for sure,
- 21:45Speaker 1: way before them we were expected to believe.
- 21:49Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Looking, these were described as you know, giant
- 21:55Speaker 3: blue clay uh pots I guess, filled with ashes and
- 22:01Speaker 3: coal and brown earth and different sizes post holes and
- 22:05Speaker 3: so these were containing bears to eeth and all kinds
- 22:09Speaker 3: of things. And then they had wooden burial elements as well,
- 22:17Speaker 3: like wooden coffin not confirmed, but it was described as
- 22:22Speaker 3: being found in a trough with layers of wooden structural elements.
- 22:29Speaker 2: Do you know what direction those gloons are facing.
- 22:35Speaker 3: It didn't say in particular, but the mound itself was
- 22:40Speaker 3: surveyed with the ground penetrating radar on Chiefiz and it
- 22:44Speaker 3: was determined to be north and south in orientation.
- 22:47Speaker 2: Oh okay.
- 22:52Speaker 3: And so there was pottery, a lot of this was
- 22:55Speaker 3: like a giant rock wall that had been dug up,
- 22:59Speaker 3: and they found all these underneath it. So it's it's
- 23:07Speaker 3: thought that the plausible reconstruction it was a stone mountain
- 23:09Speaker 3: basically with a central chamber filled with offerings in the wall.
- 23:21Speaker 3: Underneath the wall there were there were all these artifacts found.
- 23:27Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
- 23:31Speaker 3: And then interestingly, the chiefs the Cherokee were interviewed in
- 23:36Speaker 3: the articles and it said Chiefs bushy Head and Chief
- 23:40Speaker 3: Smith both said that the images found were rain maker images.
- 23:45Speaker 3: They were basically there to provide to bring the rain,
- 23:48Speaker 3: and they were real relics described as linking the medicine
- 23:52Speaker 3: men to rainmaking practices.
- 24:01Speaker 1: Those mounds is so interesting, especially those hollowed out ones,
- 24:06Speaker 1: with those made ones like I doubt it's the same
- 24:11Speaker 1: thing as even being going on back then with any
- 24:14Speaker 1: of these well, the ones that I like hollowed or
- 24:16Speaker 1: that you could walk into. It's just one of the
- 24:19Speaker 1: images that you showed looked a lot like you know,
- 24:22Speaker 1: when Tycho brahe was doing reading the stars, he built
- 24:28Speaker 1: things into the ground and then would view him and
- 24:30Speaker 1: it would almost look like a mountains, like little mounds
- 24:33Speaker 1: on his property because he went down, because then it
- 24:36Speaker 1: would stop, like if you were trying to view something
- 24:38Speaker 1: and he was using like wooden shit just to get sightlines.
- 24:41Speaker 1: The wind ain't gonna fuck it up or move it
- 24:43Speaker 1: or anything, so it's more accurate. But like, it almost
- 24:47Speaker 1: looks like some of them almost looked like that you
- 24:49Speaker 1: were showing. I know, I understand that those like are
- 24:51Speaker 1: not the real things, the reinterpretations, but it looked a
- 24:54Speaker 1: lot like his mountains that he was building to view
- 24:58Speaker 1: the stars with as well.
- 25:00Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, there's a lot of well, a lot of
- 25:04Speaker 3: evidence that it was our astronomical site, like archaeo astronomy
- 25:09Speaker 3: was important apparently because of the north south orientation and
- 25:16Speaker 3: the north south orientation and as well as magnetic north
- 25:21Speaker 3: was a symbol was a line that was built into
- 25:24Speaker 3: Cochin amounts as well. So you know, I had started
- 25:27Speaker 3: out researching about Cookie Mounts and I found out that
- 25:29Speaker 3: the entire site axis is based on the magnetic north line,
- 25:34Speaker 3: which is exactly how they constructed the central axis of
- 25:40Speaker 3: the Cochi Mountains in alignment with the magnetic north.
- 25:46Speaker 1: Yeah. I like Donnellan's questions, basically, where's Joseph Smith and
- 25:49Speaker 1: all this ship?
- 25:53Speaker 3: You know who he is, Vince Joseph Smith. I guess
- 25:55Speaker 3: he's the in the Mormons.
- 25:57Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's got you know, is that
- 26:00Speaker 1: whole story's got you know, Native American tribes and shit
- 26:05Speaker 1: if you look into it.
- 26:07Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I don't know that much about it
- 26:10Speaker 3: other than I don't think this is directly attributed to
- 26:13Speaker 3: the Mormons.
- 26:14Speaker 1: No, No, I'm just playing around. It's like, you know,
- 26:17Speaker 1: he should be around here somewhere.
- 26:19Speaker 3: Right, Yeah. But Osborne, these are the letters that he wrote,
- 26:23Speaker 3: and I was mentioning I was able to transcribe these
- 26:26Speaker 3: all with AI now, and it's amazing. They're calligraphy writing.
- 26:29Speaker 3: I could hardly read it, but you plug it into
- 26:32Speaker 3: AI and it translated translates it correctly into English. And
- 26:36Speaker 3: so all these stats are from the letters that Osborne wrote,
- 26:40Speaker 3: who he wrote them to, and when he wrote them,
- 26:42Speaker 3: And these are the writers of the letters. It talks
- 26:46Speaker 3: about the groups, the quantity of letters through time, and
- 26:51Speaker 3: and this this map, those graph shows how many letters
- 26:54Speaker 3: he wrote and when when the important events happened, and
- 26:59Speaker 3: the relationship the letter. They can even read the relationships.
- 27:02Speaker 3: Whether it's a positive letter or a negative letter, it
- 27:04Speaker 3: can tell you. And so this graph here depicts the
- 27:08Speaker 3: letters that are positive and the ones that are negative.
- 27:10Speaker 3: And guess what the negative ones were to the Smithsonian. Basically,
- 27:14Speaker 3: all the Smithsonian letters are negative, but the other the
- 27:17Speaker 3: majority of all the others are positive. And so the
- 27:21Speaker 3: summary for the anti authenticity argument is that this is
- 27:25Speaker 3: an institutional conflict. It's basically one museum versus another. They
- 27:30Speaker 3: both want the business. They didn't want the other one
- 27:32Speaker 3: to succeed, so they undermined each other. And there's evidence
- 27:38Speaker 3: that even Valentine tried to undermine the Smithsonian and the
- 27:42Speaker 3: Smithsonian tried to undermine him. So I mean, it was
- 27:45Speaker 3: a few going back and forth, like for example, when
- 27:49Speaker 3: Valentine brought artifacts to see the Smithsonian and Charles Raw,
- 27:53Speaker 3: he brought some fake artifacts with them, knowing they were fake,
- 27:57Speaker 3: and he showed them to Charles Raw and said, you
- 28:00Speaker 3: know what's this? And Charles Rau was like this can't
- 28:04Speaker 3: be real, and he said, oh, I know, it's not.
- 28:05Speaker 3: How I was just trying to test you. And basically
- 28:08Speaker 3: so he was trying to trick him, you know, doing
- 28:11Speaker 3: the trickster thing of tricking him into being able to
- 28:15Speaker 3: see if he could tell whether something was real or not.
- 28:17Speaker 3: And I think that affected their relationship materially. You know,
- 28:20Speaker 3: they didn't at that point, they didn't get along because
- 28:23Speaker 3: they were basically trying to trick each other or undermine
- 28:25Speaker 3: each other. And and so there's a lot of positive
- 28:34Speaker 3: relationships and letters in the letters that are described like that,
- 28:38Speaker 3: they found a lot of good compliments and endorsement of
- 28:43Speaker 3: the people. They were happy with the site. And basically
- 28:47Speaker 3: Osborne was the facilitator of all this. Valentine was the
- 28:52Speaker 3: collector or patron of the museum, paying Osborne to do
- 28:55Speaker 3: the archaeology. He had contracted these other people people to
- 29:01Speaker 3: help to collect the artifacts, and like Marrit Burnett, and
- 29:05Speaker 3: when these people were local landowners and aj Osbourne worked
- 29:11Speaker 3: with the landowners to try to get these artifacts collected
- 29:14Speaker 3: and preserved. In the Native Contacts, we talked about Bushy
- 29:17Speaker 3: Head who said these are for rain making from the
- 29:21Speaker 3: medicine men and these are other people that lived that
- 29:25Speaker 3: were attributed associated with the letters that he wrote. And
- 29:36Speaker 3: then there's a I was able to correlate the photo
- 29:40Speaker 3: bucket album with the site as well, just to show
- 29:44Speaker 3: that I was able to add detail to the catalog
- 29:48Speaker 3: from the photo photos that I took at the end
- 29:51Speaker 3: photo bucket to show the artifacts. Some of them like
- 29:54Speaker 3: this one is an eight stem pipe bowl, so literally
- 29:57Speaker 3: it has eight pipe stems coming out of this pipe
- 30:00Speaker 3: bowl that was first smoking. There's bannerstones, hand figurines.
- 30:07Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta test that one. There was more
- 30:09Speaker 1: than tobacco with that.
- 30:10Speaker 3: I'm sure, yeah, something really good in there. And and
- 30:19Speaker 3: then so there's there's so many different types. There's a
- 30:22Speaker 3: lot most majority are animals, but then there's vessels, containers.
- 30:26Speaker 3: A lot of the vessels and containers and bowls they
- 30:28Speaker 3: actually have faces on them or cross hatching and they're
- 30:31Speaker 3: covered with objects indicating that they're living, you know, like
- 30:37Speaker 3: the cross hatching vessels. There's handles, there's some square vessels.
- 30:46Speaker 3: This is you know that this is the total figurine.
- 30:49Speaker 3: So I mean, I can show you any detail if
- 30:51Speaker 3: you want me to stop. But there's like square vessels
- 30:54Speaker 3: round vessels. So like all these different rectangular vessels, there's circular,
- 31:07Speaker 3: there's some that have handles, figuringes with vessels with human
- 31:13Speaker 3: figurines holding hands around the outside of the vessels. There's
- 31:18Speaker 3: bowls and square, square vessels of all different shapes and sizes.
- 31:27Speaker 2: We do have a comment though, with all these different
- 31:30Speaker 2: animal figurines. These vessels honestly should be and it should
- 31:36Speaker 2: have been done decades ago, tested for where the source
- 31:40Speaker 2: of the materials.
- 31:42Speaker 3: Yes, that's that's a good comment. I mean it's true
- 31:45Speaker 3: there it would be amazing to dis source the materials,
- 31:48Speaker 3: and and the technology is there now. There's there's a
- 31:52Speaker 3: device that they can it's a handheld device and it
- 31:54Speaker 3: can determine the material composition based on the late beam. Basically,
- 32:01Speaker 3: it determines the composition element elements in the material and
- 32:05Speaker 3: it can determine where that material came from with a
- 32:10Speaker 3: click of a button. And I asked if I could
- 32:13Speaker 3: use that, and the museum said no. Does it give
- 32:17Speaker 3: you a reason why they they wouldn't. They didn't want to.
- 32:20Speaker 3: I mean they didn't say why, they just wouldn't allow it.
- 32:24Speaker 3: You know, it's a non destructive test. It would be
- 32:26Speaker 3: easy and quick and they wouldn't allow it. And you
- 32:30Speaker 3: can see some of them are coated with red ochre
- 32:32Speaker 3: like this reddish color bowles. All of these bolt pottery
- 32:37Speaker 3: bowls have some of them have zigzag pattern like lightning.
- 32:44Speaker 3: You know. This is the nine hundred and seventy eight
- 32:47Speaker 3: remaining objects that I'm showing you because there's just so many.
- 32:51Speaker 2: But how many did you say was missing?
- 32:54Speaker 3: There's I think it was around thirty or forty had
- 32:59Speaker 3: had the list of the beginning of this. But see
- 33:03Speaker 3: then there's like square boxes alls that was like a
- 33:09Speaker 3: canoe figurine here looks like and then a lot of
- 33:16Speaker 3: these vessels are shaped like you know, pip of pottery
- 33:24Speaker 3: with different angles, and there are different colors that apparently
- 33:29Speaker 3: summer charred and others are red ochre coated. There's something
- 33:41Speaker 3: that have faces on the side of them like that.
- 33:43Speaker 1: It looks like you're flipping through an Etsy page. Yeah,
- 33:50Speaker 1: you know, was there any somebody did ask? Is that
- 33:53Speaker 1: actually just a question? Was there any fingerprints extracted, you
- 33:57Speaker 1: know from any of this stuff?
- 34:01Speaker 3: I haven't. I'm not sure.
- 34:03Speaker 1: I mean fingerprints, yeah, but I'm thinking out of it
- 34:05Speaker 1: is like I wonder if there was a print left
- 34:07Speaker 1: in the clay. More of like that than that that
- 34:10Speaker 1: it's actually like, you know, there was a fingerprint LEFTI.
- 34:13Speaker 3: Come to think of it. T R. Kidder was given
- 34:16Speaker 3: the presentation one time over at Saint Louis about Poverty Point,
- 34:20Speaker 3: and he said, one of his favorite discoveries, that's a
- 34:23Speaker 3: fingerprint in the in the clay, like of a pottery vessel.
- 34:27Speaker 3: He said, he just thought it was amazing that the
- 34:29Speaker 3: clay could preserve pottery fingerprint. And I'll never forget that.
- 34:34Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean that that's an example of of
- 34:36Speaker 3: it actually surviving with a fingerprint. Also, oh, go ahead now.
- 34:47Speaker 2: Also Margaret also asked, because I think it was Margaret
- 34:50Speaker 2: you took that from Nick.
- 34:52Speaker 1: Oh might have been. Yeah, that's sure, it's somewhere.
- 34:54Speaker 2: And she has another question. She said, any wheel thrown
- 34:58Speaker 2: or oil all coil slab work found?
- 35:07Speaker 3: Well, that one that I showed here, I'll go back
- 35:10Speaker 3: up to it. This one over here, number two five eight,
- 35:14Speaker 3: that looks like it's thrown on a wheel. I mean
- 35:17Speaker 3: it's it's got a flat bottom, sides are tapering. This
- 35:22Speaker 3: one it looks to me like and I expected this
- 35:24Speaker 3: one in person, I thought, how could that be. I
- 35:26Speaker 3: mean it looks like it's thrown on a wheel. But yeah,
- 35:30Speaker 3: that one in particular. You know some of these almost
- 35:33Speaker 3: look yeah, they look like they're wheel thrown like this.
- 35:36Speaker 3: I mean it's possible. It describes it as a concave
- 35:42Speaker 3: base wide at the bottom, sides, narrow to your shoulder,
- 35:46Speaker 3: straight neck, all exterior plane except for a smooth decoration.
- 35:54Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean it's possible they had the wheel
- 35:57Speaker 3: to throw the pottery.
- 36:00Speaker 1: And yeah, I never would have thought. I thought that.
- 36:05Speaker 2: I wouldn't have either.
- 36:09Speaker 3: This is one of those that I think might be
- 36:10Speaker 3: a Mason symbol with an eye, and this could be
- 36:14Speaker 3: like the Mason uh, like a free Mason uh device,
- 36:20Speaker 3: and then the shrine symbol here, So I think that
- 36:23Speaker 3: this one in particular maybe Mason still Mason attributed. There's
- 36:31Speaker 3: all the all different kinds of animal figurines, human figurines
- 36:38Speaker 3: of all sorts.
- 36:39Speaker 1: Look at those those figures, those go go back up
- 36:42Speaker 1: again if you don't mind. Those are pretty well looking.
- 36:46Speaker 3: Yeah, like this one looks like they have a pot
- 36:48Speaker 3: on their head. They're holding their hands up and having
- 36:49Speaker 3: holding a pot.
- 36:53Speaker 2: I just realized, you know a lot of people always
- 36:57Speaker 2: say no matter where you go in the world and
- 36:59Speaker 2: you find these out of artifacts, they look similar. This
- 37:04Speaker 2: could be the reason why, and this site probably explains that.
- 37:10Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's true, and you're right. They there's a
- 37:15Speaker 3: lot of similarity around the world. I mean Egypt and
- 37:20Speaker 3: even Australia uses similar motifs and symbols and the use
- 37:25Speaker 3: the cross hatching at both those places. So yeah, it's
- 37:32Speaker 3: amazing the similarities.
- 37:35Speaker 2: And actually there's so many tests that needs to be done,
- 37:40Speaker 2: especially carbon dating, especially with the one with the wheel one.
- 37:47Speaker 2: It'll tell you how far back they have been using
- 37:50Speaker 2: such a tool.
- 37:52Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. If they at radiocarbon date even a
- 37:57Speaker 3: few micrograms from the inside of these or the pipes,
- 38:01Speaker 3: that would tell them so much.
- 38:06Speaker 2: I have to ask you, how long have you been
- 38:07Speaker 2: doing this research?
- 38:09Speaker 3: Since about two thousand and three, so twenty three years.
- 38:18Speaker 2: And you feel like you just hit the tip of
- 38:20Speaker 2: the iceberg.
- 38:21Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean the thing is, it's like all this exists,
- 38:25Speaker 3: but they won't allow anyone to study it, or they
- 38:28Speaker 3: won't allow any testing done on these artifacts to actually
- 38:31Speaker 3: determine a material, age or property. So so much as
- 38:39Speaker 3: a mystery. I mean, I've always liked mysteries. This is
- 38:41Speaker 3: a pretty big mystery. And like I mentioned, it's kind
- 38:44Speaker 3: of like a rabbit hole. I mean some of these
- 38:46Speaker 3: are a bright yellow ochre material, like as they call us,
- 38:50Speaker 3: a bird figurine, and there's all different kinds of birds
- 38:56Speaker 3: represented and human figurines. They look like sheef seated on
- 39:03Speaker 3: a throne. How about this one you mentioned aliens. I
- 39:12Speaker 3: mean that's kind of an alien looking one right there.
- 39:16Speaker 3: They call it a human figurine, but I think that
- 39:18Speaker 3: looks more alien.
- 39:22Speaker 1: Yeah, it kind of does. Actually with that head.
- 39:25Speaker 3: Here's a thunderbird type of motif winged being. And then
- 39:33Speaker 3: they start getting into a pair of couple figurines, you know,
- 39:37Speaker 3: two people people sitting on thrones and chairs. H m hm.
- 40:04Speaker 3: That one kind of looks like Venus, you know, venus
- 40:06Speaker 3: figurine but just sitting kneeling m hm.
- 40:15Speaker 1: These figurines are really interesting.
- 40:21Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of human figurines. Pipe smoking human that's
- 40:25Speaker 3: laying down and some of them have what it's like
- 40:30Speaker 3: dresses on, like you know dresses and one person holding
- 40:37Speaker 3: their hand up, so there's one that's saluting.
- 40:47Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
- 40:50Speaker 3: And then people smoking pipes. These are these are pipe
- 40:54Speaker 3: smoking depictions. And this one's like a Mayan bore figurine
- 41:12Speaker 3: humans riding horses. There's there's a several figurines showing that.
- 41:18Speaker 3: You know, this one looks like they're wearing armor. I
- 41:21Speaker 3: looked at this one close up and it's it's literally
- 41:23Speaker 3: like plated armor and an armor helmet.
- 41:27Speaker 2: Would you think they would it was a close resemble
- 41:30Speaker 2: resembles It resembles a Conquista door.
- 41:35Speaker 3: Yeah, possibly a Canqista door or China Chinese Ming dynasty
- 41:41Speaker 3: at armor. This one is a riding side saddle. It's
- 41:50Speaker 3: it's actually a woman is sitting side saddle on a
- 41:53Speaker 3: horse or a four laded, four legged figure riding and
- 41:57Speaker 3: it's depicted on a platform. And then look at this pipe.
- 42:01Speaker 3: It's bigger than the person themselves, and it's like this
- 42:04Speaker 3: giant piper bowl that's in the middle. There's a lot
- 42:12Speaker 3: of them that are depicted smoking pipes as well, like
- 42:17Speaker 3: ceremonial pipes and figure in shaking hands.
- 42:23Speaker 1: Yeah, they really need to test those. Not that I'm like, oh,
- 42:25Speaker 1: you know, pro drugs, it's just I have I have noticed,
- 42:29Speaker 1: just read even recently and probably in the last year,
- 42:32Speaker 1: like how many different areas where like certain things have
- 42:35Speaker 1: been tested recently and they're like, oh, we found THC
- 42:37Speaker 1: in this person's pipe, We found THC at this site.
- 42:41Speaker 1: We sound the found these like you know areas where
- 42:43Speaker 1: they're burning massive amounts of stuff or ritual sites. Oh
- 42:46Speaker 1: there was weed in there too.
- 42:50Speaker 3: Yeah, it would be really interesting to test it and
- 42:54Speaker 3: find out what's in there. And it could just be
- 42:56Speaker 3: a swamp that would take it, wouldn't it wouldn't destroy it. Yeah, No, sure,
- 43:00Speaker 3: quick test that could be done. And some of them
- 43:05Speaker 3: are cracked like these These actually had been cracked in
- 43:07Speaker 3: half and there's red color inside the fresh cracks, like
- 43:12Speaker 3: the heat treatment would have been very high to change
- 43:14Speaker 3: the color to red like that. And so the bears
- 43:25Speaker 3: were very numerous in this collection. Those high of the animals.
- 43:29Speaker 3: There were more bears than any other animal. In some rabbits.
- 43:33Speaker 3: There was quite a bit of rabbits depicted.
- 43:42Speaker 1: Those bears, Yeah, bears.
- 43:44Speaker 3: They seem to be holding onto something and I think
- 43:48Speaker 3: it represents shrine or these objects depicted were cross hatched
- 43:53Speaker 3: with whatever they were holding on to. It was like
- 43:55Speaker 3: a cross hatched slab.
- 43:57Speaker 1: Yeah, right right, it looks like like a tablet something.
- 43:59Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 44:00Speaker 1: Uh.
- 44:01Speaker 3: And they had long noses that were very detailed with
- 44:05Speaker 3: cross hatching.
- 44:09Speaker 1: Yeah, you're almost all the bears, like half of them,
- 44:14Speaker 1: at least almost all of them up there. They were
- 44:16Speaker 1: all kind of doing the same ship with something in
- 44:18Speaker 1: their hands. They had to be depicting something, you know.
- 44:23Speaker 3: Yeah, they looked like hogs or pigs.
- 44:27Speaker 1: Mhm.
- 44:29Speaker 3: And this one's a sheep over here, I guess. And
- 44:38Speaker 3: so they're all different, but they're they're so unique and
- 44:41Speaker 3: they really have the artistry. Here's the one that's supposed
- 44:45Speaker 3: to be a rhino. It used to have a horn
- 44:51Speaker 3: on the middle here that projected up about an inch,
- 44:54Speaker 3: but that broke off.
- 45:00Speaker 2: So these things weren't handled correctly as well.
- 45:04Speaker 3: Right, they've been mishandled and broken. I mean the fresh
- 45:07Speaker 3: cracks that's because someone dropped it and broke it, broke
- 45:10Speaker 3: it in their collection, and they smashed the horn off
- 45:14Speaker 3: the rhino. I mean it's like that. It's terrible. They've
- 45:19Speaker 3: been mishandled for over one hundred years, broken and displaced
- 45:24Speaker 3: and lost many times, Like there's so many that have
- 45:26Speaker 3: gone missing. Bison are depicted quite a bit, and you know,
- 45:38Speaker 3: the sacred bison was important, and some like this are
- 45:44Speaker 3: almost like a unicorn looking thing.
- 45:53Speaker 2: And are these at the Smithsonian.
- 45:59Speaker 3: Yeah, well there's thirty of them met the Smithsonian in
- 46:02Speaker 3: the nine hundred and seventy here are from the Valentine Museum,
- 46:06Speaker 3: and then there's about six hundred at the University of
- 46:08Speaker 3: North Carolina. Yeah, there was a lot of these things,
- 46:19Speaker 3: all different kinds of animals and animal heads like they
- 46:25Speaker 3: were depicted bears, all kinds of animals that look like
- 46:34Speaker 3: what that might be a lion or something. And then
- 46:40Speaker 3: there's aquatic animals too, like that looks almost like an
- 46:43Speaker 3: otter swimming. And they had squirrels or skunks depicted as well.
- 47:03Speaker 3: And fish. There was a lot of fish figurines. There's
- 47:06Speaker 3: a flounder. This is a flat flounder figuring, and whales
- 47:12Speaker 3: almost uh nar wals. This one has dots like a narwhal.
- 47:20Speaker 3: A bull. This one has a like a rightino or
- 47:23Speaker 3: bowl figuring turtles. There's a lot of turtle figurines as well.
- 47:35Speaker 3: Serpent There's lots of snake figurines, and even spiders. This
- 47:39Speaker 3: is like a daddy long leg spider figurine. There's birds
- 47:45Speaker 3: of all sorts. This this one could be a lean
- 47:49Speaker 3: or this one and yeah, a lot of bird figurines
- 47:55Speaker 3: here of different varieties.
- 48:08Speaker 2: You could admire the accuracy all these figures as well. Yes,
- 48:16Speaker 2: oh there's a lot of great in making them.
- 48:21Speaker 3: Yeah, the accuracy and I mean even just to see
- 48:24Speaker 3: it with a blurry image, it's just amazing, but to
- 48:26Speaker 3: see it close up is even more amazing. The artistry
- 48:30Speaker 3: and accuracy that went into these is incredible. They have
- 48:37Speaker 3: like a tactile quality that is impressive to see, and
- 48:41Speaker 3: they're all different of a high level of quality. All
- 48:53Speaker 3: the pipes are amazing too, there's so many pipes and
- 49:00Speaker 3: then it starts getting into perforated vessels. These are like
- 49:04Speaker 3: the ones at Poverty Point perforated because then what the
- 49:09Speaker 3: would do is they put it in a fire and
- 49:11Speaker 3: they'd stick a stick in there to be able to
- 49:13Speaker 3: take it out of the fire. Once it heats up,
- 49:14Speaker 3: then they would heat put it in the water and
- 49:16Speaker 3: boil the water. So these are for the heating elements
- 49:19Speaker 3: on cooking food. And these are similar ones haven't found
- 49:24Speaker 3: that Poverty Point that are carved into effigies and doughnuts
- 49:33Speaker 3: stones as well, the same thing they were using for cooking.
- 49:40Speaker 3: And this one's like eight there's eight holes in this
- 49:42Speaker 3: one similar shaped like arrowheads with faces and access And
- 50:01Speaker 3: this is the one that I sent a picture of
- 50:02Speaker 3: the other day with the Muscogee chief depicted. These are
- 50:10Speaker 3: vessels cylindrical vessels, but they are hollow and they almost
- 50:13Speaker 3: look like they're thrown pottery. But yeah, they're actually hollowed
- 50:16Speaker 3: out in the in the middle to be able to
- 50:19Speaker 3: hold the liquid. And the pentagonal type of vessels, i
- 50:28Speaker 3: mean pentagonal steatite with a whole drilled through, were important
- 50:34Speaker 3: because that seems to be common to the Savannah River,
- 50:38Speaker 3: Georgia site area. They had similar types that were used
- 50:41Speaker 3: in heating of liquid and boiling water. And this one
- 50:46Speaker 3: is almost the tray but it has a similar pentagonal
- 50:50Speaker 3: shape and then there's effigies with toads or frogs inside there.
- 51:04Speaker 3: It's almost like they were using these two depict a
- 51:08Speaker 3: frog in a bowl and that is something associated with
- 51:13Speaker 3: the hallucination qualities from toads in like the Sahara toad.
- 51:19Speaker 3: They were they were they were to use this in
- 51:24Speaker 3: shaman ceremonies to hallucinate.
- 51:28Speaker 1: Okay, Barty time, Yeah, that's where they had the hookah
- 51:32Speaker 1: piece over there, that that thing for the hookah.
- 51:37Speaker 3: All kinds of accidents. This is a bannerstone called a
- 51:40Speaker 3: lunar crescent bannerstone, and that's it. There's other ones are
- 51:50Speaker 3: just fragments that they bagged up.
- 51:54Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that was a lot of stuff.
- 51:58Speaker 3: Yeah, hopefully and overwhelming. I just wanted to.
- 52:01Speaker 1: Show, no I did some of that stuff actually looked
- 52:03Speaker 1: really impressive, like those figurines actually do think those things
- 52:07Speaker 1: are really nice.
- 52:10Speaker 3: Yeah. And if anybody wants to see the the slides
- 52:14Speaker 3: on the letters that that Osborne sent and kind of
- 52:18Speaker 3: dig into it, well it's available now online. You can
- 52:22Speaker 3: just click on this the link to the script that's
- 52:26Speaker 3: provided in the chat and and then you can read
- 52:31Speaker 3: read it all and it's it's got amazing details about
- 52:33Speaker 3: what they found.
- 52:37Speaker 2: It's actually quite amazing how you could connect the dots
- 52:39Speaker 2: with other people who have done similar research to you
- 52:43Speaker 2: in other locations.
- 52:47Speaker 3: Oh, thank you. Yeah. The the research has been interesting
- 52:52Speaker 3: to connect it to the Australian cultures in the North
- 52:56Speaker 3: part of Australia and also even Africa. There's a lot
- 53:01Speaker 3: of similarities in Africa. The the Ivory Coast area of
- 53:07Speaker 3: Africa has similar types of figurines that were made of
- 53:10Speaker 3: steetype and they were in honor of their chiefs, and
- 53:14Speaker 3: they often covered in with cross hatching. So same material,
- 53:18Speaker 3: same subject matter, but just very far apart in the world.
- 53:25Speaker 3: And hopefully this will help people to just study the
- 53:28Speaker 3: past and learn about the possible connections that that the world.
- 53:31Speaker 3: You know, it's not that far apart and everyone was
- 53:34Speaker 3: related in some way.
- 53:38Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely think it shows that that's that area
- 53:40Speaker 1: looking at for sure. I think it shows a whole
- 53:42Speaker 1: bunch of stuff coming together. Something was going on.
- 53:49Speaker 3: Definitely.
- 53:52Speaker 1: Yeah, that was really Uh, that was really interesting. Jens,
- 53:55Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 53:58Speaker 3: Appreciate it.
- 54:00Speaker 1: Is there anything else that that you're still working on now,
- 54:06Speaker 1: any other like things or with this situation? It was
- 54:09Speaker 1: just kind of like up to date, that's what you've
- 54:11Speaker 1: been doing.
- 54:12Speaker 3: That's well, that's the latest up to date information I
- 54:17Speaker 3: do I have been checking. Like one of the really
- 54:19Speaker 3: interesting things on the AI is now we're able to
- 54:25Speaker 3: track time and do an analysis quickly, and you can
- 54:30Speaker 3: use the AI to determine quantity versus time graphs and
- 54:38Speaker 3: determine how things have changed through time. So I'll share
- 54:42Speaker 3: I'll share my screen here and show kind of the
- 54:45Speaker 3: what I've found out about this is this clan symbol
- 54:49Speaker 3: distribution map here shows the quantity of bear clans, the
- 54:53Speaker 3: quantity of birds, wolves, hooved animals and snakes well. So
- 55:00Speaker 3: these are the locations that those those clan symbols are located,
- 55:04Speaker 3: usually around Lake Superior, the Ojibway up here, and then
- 55:11Speaker 3: the Muskoki Kahoki had the bird man and the Yuchi
- 55:14Speaker 3: and the Gualle had clan symbols. And this shows the
- 55:19Speaker 3: position into the position is shown in blue. So when
- 55:23Speaker 3: they were made is on this graph, so it's six
- 55:26Speaker 3: hundred eighty all the way up to two thousand. The
- 55:29Speaker 3: quantity has is shown here in blue and then so
- 55:33Speaker 3: it shows that they actually started increasing production in orange
- 55:38Speaker 3: here and then decreased it around the year twelve hundred
- 55:43Speaker 3: and then stuff from that point on they slowed down
- 55:46Speaker 3: production of the clan symbols that were used. And so
- 55:52Speaker 3: but these these symbols were used like shows here. The
- 55:54Speaker 3: bear was wasn't in the Jibway and the only two
- 55:57Speaker 3: places were Lake Superior and Mount Pishka. For the bird
- 56:01Speaker 3: it was at Kahokia, Mount Pishka, the Yuchi and the
- 56:04Speaker 3: Gualle and for the wolf it was found in Lake
- 56:09Speaker 3: Superior in Mount Pishka Lake Superior, and the hooked animals
- 56:13Speaker 3: were found in Lake Superior in Mount Pishka. So there's
- 56:16Speaker 3: only two places that they've really been found. And even
- 56:20Speaker 3: though Lake Superior is the center for plans, well, Mount
- 56:24Speaker 3: Pishka was the like the outpost, the southern outposts and
- 56:28Speaker 3: the turtles, they relate to Kahokia, Mount Pishka and Lake Superior.
- 56:33Speaker 3: The Muskoki used the small rare animals and so they
- 56:37Speaker 3: related to the Yuchi, the Gualle and uh so that
- 56:43Speaker 3: this that that helps to come up with this graph here.
- 56:47Speaker 3: So the quantity versus time basically visibility count the number
- 56:51Speaker 3: of clan symbols that were found at the specific times
- 56:56Speaker 3: can be charted here, Like there's in the times that
- 56:59Speaker 3: they're so around twelve fifty, there's over thirty animals that
- 57:03Speaker 3: were bears that they found as far as the clan symbols.
- 57:08Speaker 3: And so then it's interesting because you can make a
- 57:10Speaker 3: quantity versus time graph and then do a derivative to
- 57:15Speaker 3: determine when it was made and how it changed through time.
- 57:22Speaker 3: And so what I did is I used this I
- 57:24Speaker 3: made derivatives for all of these different clan symbols to
- 57:27Speaker 3: determine when they were made and how it changed, and
- 57:30Speaker 3: they seem to change pretty similarly for each of the
- 57:32Speaker 3: clan symbols, the wolf symbol, the Wolf clan, the Hook clan,
- 57:37Speaker 3: they all seem to have similar type of changes, just
- 57:39Speaker 3: different quantities through time. So they really show a peak
- 57:43Speaker 3: around one thousand to fourteen fifty and after that point
- 57:48Speaker 3: they dropped off. And so that that's useful because it
- 57:55Speaker 3: really dates the symbols to pre contact for the majority
- 58:01Speaker 3: of the production. And then Gerald Wisnor is an author
- 58:06Speaker 3: that really was into this position and time and how
- 58:10Speaker 3: things change with velocity, and so he gave the message
- 58:15Speaker 3: that these should be used against dominance and towards sovereignty
- 58:21Speaker 3: and the clans that he developed that he thinks these
- 58:24Speaker 3: fall into are shown here that each of these represents
- 58:29Speaker 3: our modern representation of the clans of what it's like
- 58:32Speaker 3: today for the tribes in the timeline. He came up
- 58:39Speaker 3: with these ideas from nineteen sixty four to nineteen ninety
- 58:42Speaker 3: two and wrote about it in a lot of articles,
- 58:45Speaker 3: and he attributed these to you know, Columbus crossing over
- 58:51Speaker 3: to the White Earth subdivision. And then also there's some
- 58:54Speaker 3: links to China as well as the japan Haiku, and
- 58:59Speaker 3: so there's connections as well. And so the thing that
- 59:08Speaker 3: tells us is that visibility has a growth in decline
- 59:11Speaker 3: and inflection shows when the culture has changed through time.
- 59:16Speaker 3: And you can apply that to the different technologies like
- 59:20Speaker 3: microblade technology. When was it made and how to change?
- 59:24Speaker 3: So this tells us that it increased through time and
- 59:27Speaker 3: then decreased. The peak was around one thousand BC, and
- 59:31Speaker 3: the velocity represents the production of microblades, so if it's
- 59:37Speaker 3: below zero, they weren't producing and then if it's above one,
- 59:40Speaker 3: above zero, then they were producing it. So they started
- 59:43Speaker 3: to increase this peak around two thousand BC all the
- 59:47Speaker 3: way up to about zero or one eighty or so.
- 59:53Speaker 3: That's when they made the most microblades. And then there's
- 59:58Speaker 3: connections here to the the other things like celts. Well,
- 1:00:02Speaker 3: the celts. This is a production scale for celts six
- 1:00:05Speaker 3: thousand to two six thousand BC to two thousand and
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: eighty I mean to current time basically, and so it
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: shows the production through time and how it changed for celts.
- 1:00:18Speaker 3: For stone working tools, coin finds basically that's zero, that's flat.
- 1:00:25Speaker 3: Any loom finds for like loom woven brocades are shown here,
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: and then there's meteorite finds through time how they change
- 1:00:35Speaker 3: in archaeological context, fiance beads. There's bannerstone finds how they
- 1:00:44Speaker 3: change your time. And this is interesting because it correlates
- 1:00:49Speaker 3: with the bone and arrow adoption. So when they use bannerstones,
- 1:00:52Speaker 3: it was before the bone arrow it started to decrease
- 1:00:56Speaker 3: because of climate stress and four point two thousand years
- 1:00:58Speaker 3: ago and then they dropped off. This one shows the
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: steotype vessel manufacturer. So we saw those pottery vessels. Well,
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: steo type vessels peaked around one thousand BC and then
- 1:01:14Speaker 3: they dropped off right when pottery was adopted. So pottery
- 1:01:19Speaker 3: started around five hundred BC and it replaced stea type
- 1:01:27Speaker 3: and it shows here that production stopped because it goes
- 1:01:30Speaker 3: below zero and they deaccelerated. And then grooed plummets was
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: around starting around fifteen hundred going to one thousand eighty.
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: The tony signs we were talking about, they started around
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: one thousand BC, went up to four hundred and eighty
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: and they changed after Roman conquest. So these bars line
- 1:01:57Speaker 3: up with world history events that kind of shows that
- 1:02:00Speaker 3: the quantity versus time reflects what's going on in the world.
- 1:02:09Speaker 3: The murr archaeological finds, well, there's only been four places
- 1:02:13Speaker 3: in the world that mr has ever been found, and
- 1:02:18Speaker 3: it's very uncommon. Lam Mono. This is an interesting carve
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: because it shows sharks to clubs found in Polynesia, how
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: they increase to a high production. Twenty two thousand, five
- 1:02:32Speaker 3: hundred clubs were found that were made of sharks teeth
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: and then they decreased and they aligned with chiefly warfare
- 1:02:42Speaker 3: causing decrease in the European conquests and firearms replacing them.
- 1:02:50Speaker 3: Carrie shells cross hatching symbolism. When we're talking about cross hatching,
- 1:02:54Speaker 3: but let's just increase through time. It's always constantly increased.
- 1:03:02Speaker 3: And so yeah, those charts and graphs are based on
- 1:03:06Speaker 3: the actual data that you can just plug into AI
- 1:03:09Speaker 3: and it automatically creates a data curve. And we were
- 1:03:14Speaker 3: talking about the African connection. Well, Luba people of Central
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: Africa had figurines called memory boards lucasa, and they used
- 1:03:23Speaker 3: those to transmit stories and keepers of memory, just like
- 1:03:28Speaker 3: we were seeing all the boards women in spiritual vessels.
- 1:03:32Speaker 3: They would use these and they went from the fifth century.
- 1:03:34Speaker 3: All the way up to the nineteen hundreds in eighteenth
- 1:03:37Speaker 3: century preserving the history, and this is their curve about
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: the time on when they were made. Starting around the
- 1:03:50Speaker 3: sixteenth century, they increased production and they decreased, so their
- 1:03:56Speaker 3: peak of production was around eighteen hundred or no, I'm sorry,
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: seventeen hundred, so this is seventeen hundred. And then at
- 1:04:07Speaker 3: eighteen hundred they dropped off and declined and they stopped
- 1:04:09Speaker 3: producing them. And then this is the Georgia and Florida cultures.
- 1:04:19Speaker 3: So they had a peak of around two thousand BC
- 1:04:24Speaker 3: and then it decreased. So it kind of puts a
- 1:04:29Speaker 3: timeframe lens on what we're seeing here with early cultural
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: peak that occurred in the Archaic period around two thousand BC.
- 1:04:44Speaker 3: And the same thing goes with the South American We
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: were talking about South American figurines, but those are found
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: all over the coast of South America. They had the
- 1:04:52Speaker 3: same cross hatching and they were found in all these
- 1:04:56Speaker 3: places corl Asperro Toora. These are found that started around
- 1:05:02Speaker 3: three thousand BC and they went all the way up
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: to about seven hundred and fifty BC. So then we
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: talked about mass Aton and mammoths, well, they go back
- 1:05:15Speaker 3: to thirty eight thousand BC, and there's evidence of white
- 1:05:20Speaker 3: scenes footprints in New Mexico and Clovis's that were found
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: as well that had human culture that were from the
- 1:05:28Speaker 3: Ice Age time thirty eight thousand years ago. So this
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: craft shows what that culture looks like. So that's it.
- 1:05:40Speaker 3: I mean, the timeframe is amazing just to consider thirty
- 1:05:44Speaker 3: eight thousand years ago people were living here in Colorado Plateau.
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: That's amazing the way everything connects to and how far
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: back it does. That right there, I could tell you
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: the history that goes along with the history of what
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: was going around the world too, the coincides.
- 1:06:14Speaker 3: Yes, it's amazing. I think I have all the all
- 1:06:17Speaker 3: the cultural connection there around the world. It's like it's
- 1:06:20Speaker 3: probably very yeah, but yeah, thank you so much for
- 1:06:29Speaker 3: having me.
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: Oh, thank you man. That was a lot of stuff
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: that was awesome. Even that dating at the end was
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: like really impressive. It shows like a lot of stuff.
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: I'd say between I don't know, sixteen hundred to two
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: thousand BC, seems a lot going on in that area.
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: I would say with like the stuff we were looking
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: at and say, it all seems to fit in around there.
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: I think.
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: I could see how it could took you twenty one
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: years and then you still got more to look at.
- 1:06:59Speaker 3: Yeah, oh my gosh, there's so well, there's so much,
- 1:07:01Speaker 3: and I mean the great thing is chat GPT has
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: all this available, Like I made all those slides last
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: week in chat GPT, Like literally you can just throw
- 1:07:10Speaker 3: them together. I mean, it takes an instant and you
- 1:07:13Speaker 3: can make the information accumulate just by asking it to
- 1:07:18Speaker 3: do that because it's so automatic. It's amazing. So yeah,
- 1:07:21Speaker 3: it's incredible what AI has.
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: Now. That was an impressive, pressive show for real.
- 1:07:30Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: Is there anything else that you wanted to say or
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: about this sight before we start to wrap it up?
- 1:07:39Speaker 3: Just thank you so much and I appreciate it talking
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: about it and it's been great.
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: Hopefully we stay in touch in Yeah, you'll let me
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: know when you have more stuff to present on it
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: or if you ever find something else you go crazy with,
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: please let me know.
- 1:07:53Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: I'll definitely check it out. Loan Judith, please everybody know
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: what's over with you.
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: Vince, thank you very much for sharing this information. It
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: is I could see the rabbit hole. I don't know
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: if we could just call it a rabbit hole is
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: bigger than that, but we'll just say rabbit hole. You
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: could find me at speaker X and YouTube as saloon.
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: And once again, thank you Nick.
- 1:08:23Speaker 3: For having me.
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: No, of course, no, thank you for coming on. I
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: appreciate it. That was fun. That was definitely some interesting shit. Vince. Please, sir,
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: let everybody know, I guess anything you want to promote
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: or if you want to let people know where to
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: get in touch with.
- 1:08:37Speaker 3: You or anything, thank you. Yeah, be on available on
- 1:08:42Speaker 3: chat or I mean, if you look at the text
- 1:08:46Speaker 3: or the comments, there's a link to the slide show
- 1:08:49Speaker 3: and you can go on there and read about it.
- 1:08:52Speaker 3: If you click on there, I'll have updated my slides
- 1:08:55Speaker 3: and adding new information all the time. So yeah, I
- 1:08:59Speaker 3: really appreciate it.
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: Thank you. One thing I do want to ask before
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: we let you go. Have you been like trying to
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: send this or present this any of this information to
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: like people that actually like you don't matter, or they're
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: like trying to get people to look at it and
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: be like, you know, maybe there's something new.
- 1:09:12Speaker 3: Well. I've been trying to get a hold of the
- 1:09:15Speaker 3: Smithsonian and the Valentine Museum and the University of North Carolina,
- 1:09:20Speaker 3: and all of those are like talking to a brick
- 1:09:22Speaker 3: wall where they curate this stuff, but they won't allow
- 1:09:27Speaker 3: anyone to study it or look at it. And it's
- 1:09:31Speaker 3: partly because of Nagra. So I mean, I think NAGPRA
- 1:09:36Speaker 3: rules changed the ability to study it. So luckily I
- 1:09:39Speaker 3: got in before that rule took effect kind of and
- 1:09:42Speaker 3: I was able to study it. But I still think
- 1:09:44Speaker 3: it should be more more study done.
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: Oh for sure. Well hopefully maybe you'll get somewhere with
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: it one day, maybe you know, I get something to
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: you know, looked at afterwards after this. But thank you again,
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: n I think it was amazing work. I think it
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: might have been more than you did last time. That
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: was really impressive stuff.
- 1:10:06Speaker 3: So thank you, thank you, appreciate it.
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: Thank you everybody in the chat. I appreciate the questions too,
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: and Judith, thank you for seeing him. I appreciate you
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: keeping an eye out. Great co host. Yes, thank you
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: everybody for your showing up. That's where we go live
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: and until the next one, everybody be will later
