I just started reading The Suppressed History of America, The Murder of Meriwether Lewis and the Mysterious Discoveries of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. It suggests that a great deal of what we think we know about pre-historic America needs to be re-examined. It tells me that the founder of the Smithsonian Institute, James Smithson, never even visited the United States and his motivation for creating the Institute is unclear. It goes on to describe news articles and references of discoveries that were sent to the Smithsonian that afterward vanished. Very intriguing, especially the suggestions of white skinned natives of possible ancient European descent. It mentions giants, too.
Yeah! I’ve heard the legends of Lief Ericsson and Eric the Red for a while, and found that YT channel a bit less than a year ago and slowly made my way through his (amazing) content with all the downtime last year gave a lot of us. Great reccs all around, only thing I’d take potential issue with is your thoughts on Indians. According to what I’ve been able to understand they lived in harmony with these giants for atleast the vast majority of the time, which is why everywhere the “native” genotype appears there exists a clear influence of the “giants”. What makes you convinced the natives are so violent and that wasn’t just an epi-phenomenon of their entire history and culture being wiped out overnight?
