Probably a decrease in oxygen saturation in the air as well
Remember there used to be songbirds with like 10 foot wingspan and such

Ancient Calusa Indians in SW FL were also very large.

What's left of Atlantis is washed out to the ocean and buried in the sands...

20,000 years ago during the last ice age the coast of the US was 50+miles further out than it is now in places. During the paleo era these people would have settled along coast lines which are now underwater.
There is no telling how much of the early history of man in the Americas are unknown.

Article makes the case that first migrants to North America came from Europe. Personally I believe they came from each direction. Some of the early stone tools resemble technique from the Siberia region and European (Spain/Portugal) area.
You can go down a rabbit hole of early settlers and artifacts that include Romans, Egyptians, Jews, etc

In 1971 a scallop boat, the Cinmar, was fishing 60 miles east of the Virginia cape, in 240 feet of water when they pulled up part of the jaw from an ancient mastodon -- a large extinct elephant from the last ice age. Along with this catch they also found a curious stone spear point that resembled the famous Clovis points from 13,000 years ago.
. The area where these artefacts were found was once dry land. During the last ice age the oceans of the world were much lower. Much of their water was locked up in huge glaciers that covered the Northern latitudes. The bones and spear were likely remnants of pre-historic hunting by some of the earliest inhabitants of North America. But there were even more surprises to come.
Carbon dating of the mastodon bone indicated it was 22,760 years old. Researchers also scrutinized the blade. It had not been smoothed by wave action or tumbling. They concluded the blade had not been pushed out to sea but had been buried where the Cinmar found it.
Chemical analysis of the spear point showed that it originated from flint in an area that is now France! Analysis of the way it was made showed that it was not a Clovis point at all, but a hand crafted point made by European humans known as the Solutreans.

More related to the Woodland Period... There are Cherokee legends of the “Moon eyed people”. They talk of pale skinned blue eyed people who eyes were too sensitive to come out during the day and would only move around at night on full or bright moon nights. They had tales of battles with these people where they eventually pushed them towards the Ohio River out of Cherokee lands.
There is evidence of Dutch explorers in the 1300s traveling up the rivers from Mobile bay and establishing forts along the rivers. Historians that believe this say they only scavenged at night to avoid hostile indians which gives support to “moon eyed people”
One story is that they were eventually pushed out by the Cherokee towards the Great Lakes where they assimilated and became the Mandan tribe. The Mandan were said to have some blue eyed people and several words in their language resembled Dutch. I’ve read articles that support and debunk this but still an interesting look into how little we know about early explorers

Where are the skeletons now and why does the govt. hide this from the public. I heard that the Smithsonian had recovered these giant skeletons but what happened the them? Proof! We need proof.

I’ve read they used to hunt buffalo along the coast. Obviously not the giant herds seen out west, but they were around before whitey showed up.
There is a passage in La Salle's diary/ log where he took a log shot at a heard of Buffalo near the mouth of where the Ticfaw river empties in Lake Maurepas while returning to his ship anchored in Biloxi Bay.

Pretty much. The speculation rests on a decrease in food quality through domestication, as well as a decrease in nutritional variety.
Thanks. That's what I figured it was.

Incredible read. The Comanche were an unbelievable fighting force. What they could do on horseback with bows and eventually guns is just jaw dropping.

Now you are on the right track. Our history is far different than what is currently presented as fact in scientific literature.
Might also look into the red haired tribes of asia and Central Europe.

If you think about it, mexico used to be the trading capitol of north america. Any roads to mexico are bound to have artifacts scattered through out.

The name sake of Tuscaloosa was reported as being extremely tall. I read years ago that when he was placed on a horse, his feet drug the ground.
“Contemporary records describe the paramount chief as being very tall and well built, with some of the chroniclers saying Tuaskaloosa stood a foot and a half taller than the Spaniards. His name, derived from the western Muskogean language elements taska and losa, means "Black Warrior".”

What animals were they feeding corn to? There are virtually no domesticated animals that originated in North America.

friend of mine who’s a local geologist discovered an Indian trade canal dug from the Bay to the lagoon.
I heard about this a little while back.
Do you know if the canal was from Bon Secour bay to the lagoon or Oyster Bay to the lagoon?
