When was the US settled?

[stanteau]

On Ry's site I found this posting by him.

Quote:My twin brother just discovered fort Raleigh. He has also written a book about the Lost Colony and after this discovery I am sure he is correct. We both never believed the official story anyway.

No one ever asked the Natives about it. That is the arrogance of certtain people I guess.

Anyway my brother used all this deduction and ended up finding earthworks near where fresh water was said to be by using the oldest maps that had that detailed and on his second location made the discovery the he told the park service who confirmed it finding now posts and wells! and archeologists are on the way.

More Hidden History solved!

And he later on posted this

Quote:The first English speaking people to ecver settle in America were in NOrth Carolina fort Raleigh was named after Sir Walter Raleigh for whom the capital of North Carolina is named after.

The colonies disapeared. Of course text books would have you believe that Virginia was the first colony but that is just not true.

My brother just found part of the orginial settlement.

And a few more things about it, you can find the thread here but it immediately made me think of a few things.

1-That the US was way settled by the time the pilgrims came over
2-If they were there before Columbas

Now if number 2 stands true, than that lends credence to the idea that the "flat-Earth theory" was to brain-wash people from going to America, or the "secret Atlantis"

I don't know, lotsa cool shit

In answer to the title question, I thought everyone knew that the first Europeans to settle in North America were the Vikings, nigh on 500 years before the Spaniards' Catholic PR job in 1492

Smacks of mind control to me.

I'm saying more along the lines of did the "white" Europeans come here and settler in the time between Vikings and Columbas

There's a DNA type, haplogroup X, which is 20,000+ years old. It's found in a small percentage of the native American Indian population in North America. Scientists belive that haplogroup X Europeans may have travelled to the American shores by going west across the Atlantic. So Europeans may have been in North & South America much longer than anyone thought.

And I make this statement as an aboriginal/First Nations/Native American person.

"North and South America

Haplogroup X is also one of the five haplogroups found in the indigenous peoples of the Americas.[1] Although it occurs only at a frequency of about 3% for the total current indigenous population of the Americas, it is a major haplogroup in northeastern North America, where among the Algonquian peoples it comprises up to 25% of mtDNA types. It is also present in lesser percentages to the west and south of this area -- in North America among the Sioux (15%), the Nuu-Chah-Nulth (11%–13%), the Navajo (7%), and the Yakima (5%), and in South America among the Yanomami people (12%) in eight villages in Roraima in northwestern Brazil.

Unlike the four main Native American haplogroups (A, B, C, and D), X is not at all strongly associated with East Asia. The sole occurrence of X in Asia discovered so far is in Altaia in South Siberia (Derenko et al, 2001), and detailed examination (Reidla et al, 2003) has shown that the Altaian sequences are all almost identical, suggesting that they arrived in the area probably from the South Caucasus more recently than 5000 BC.

This absence of haplogroup X in Asia is one of the major factors causing the current rethinking of the peopling of the Americas. The New World haplogroup X DNA (now called subgroup X2a) is as different from any of the Old World X2 lineages as they are from each other, indicating a very ancient origin.

The Solutrean Hypothesis posits that haplogroup X reached North America with a wave of European migration about 20,000 BC by the Solutreans, a stone-age culture in south-western France and in Spain, by boat around the southern edge of the Arctic ice pack."
