    Regarding the hunting animations, the animals would NOT just drop after being struck by a spear, arrow, or dart. The point is to make the animal bleed out, which takes time. The animals would have run away, needing to be followed by the hunters.

      True craftmanship of an object or tool, hand made out of necessity, no matter how old have always been coveted and admired by people the world over, since man first appeared on this earth. The makers of these ancient tools and the everyday items of necessity they made, required a huge investment of the craftsman's time! They spent this time learning where and how to acquire the correct materials, as well as learning and perfecting the skill necessary to make each and every weapon, object or tool for each of their various crafts. However, in the beginning, how well these objects were actually made had a direct relationship with the maker and his ability for self defense, survival and food procurement. The most well made tool was always the most desirable, yet surely not the easiest to make, and most certainly not very durable.
      The words "craftmanship" and "beauty," have always been synonymous with each other when used to describe well crafted, hand made objects, even when those tools, weapons or objects were made for....the ugliest of jobs!

      Something I learned from my Indian friends is the fact most of those arrow heads were coated with a neurotoxin made from snake venom. Normally the hunters assistant usually a younger man or woman carried it in a bladder bag and when animals approached the arrow spear was dipped in fresh stuff. The spears & arrows were soaked in it for many days before the hunt so the toxins stayed in the wood and the wood did not soak up all the fresh toxin. Hope I helped. The Asian plains & mountain hunters did the same thing. South American and Siberian hunters like in North America relied a lot on snares and pits to capture game. Those hunters only resorted to the snake venoms when trying to eliminate a say a Griz or a Mountain Lion that was attacking their live stock or horses.

      Except for native people, we don't tend to dig up or 'reclaim' our ancestral heritage. No offense, but mostly only non native people tend to do that. 'Digging up', removing and transporting for a 'collection' the accoutrements, tools or textiles of my ancestors is sacrilege. It's not any different than going to a centuries old castle graveyard and digging up the people to have a look at their burial items, bones or teeth. When natives have to get involved, it's not to collect archaeological points, trinkets, or popularity or to rework history. It's to assure to the best of their ability, that precious artifacts that should have been undisturbed forever are handled with the dignity, the respect, and the reverence they deserve. And we are already connected with our ancestors. It's literally the way of life.

      Thinking about it, it does kinda make sense: we're used to the continents being separated, but even the ancestors of indigenous Americans migrated from Siberia/Asia, so prior to that there could've been interaction with indigenous European peoples. Even long after the split, enough cultural memory could've remained that they made similar tools despite being so distant.
      Plus, even with all different cultures, people are still people.
      I also enjoy learning about distant cultural similarities (for example, a little while back I read something about similarities between the Celts and Indian--from India, not outdated term for indigenous Americans--cultures).

    Amazing. Some really beautiful items recovered and I love the story that it tells us about the people who were here before us in North America. It’s not so easy to sell this story to the archaeologist in the south eastern United States. I think sometimes they have cotton inside their heads. I found some artifacts and other people I know have found artifacts and anytime we take them to the archaeologists they just downplay it and say that they’re not that old I even caught one archaeologist not identifying one artifact that he had already identified earlier. Sometimes I think it says if they are frightened and they don’t want to know more because they are comfortable in their little bubble. I always thought that science was supposed to be about learning more and advancing knowledge but sometimes in the United States if I didn’t know better I would say that some of the people I have met are trying to keep a lid on things and deliberately frustrate the efforts of normal people like myself from being involved in archaeology anthropology or the history of my own country. It’s disheartening and frustrating. It also makes people not trust archaeologists.

    I hate it when everyone says "it's all melting". then this happens.....May 2022
    The May 1 survey shows snowpack continues to be record-setting in the majority of Yukon basins, due to both historically high snowfall throughout the winter and a colder than average month of April delaying the onset of snowmelt.
    Eight of eleven monitored basins have the highest recorded May 1 basin snowpack estimate, while the remaining three basins have well above average snowpack.
    The record-setting snowpack in many watersheds creates a high potential for spring snowmelt driven flooding in Yukon communities.

    • @claygreen4723

      But the stock answer is that the higher snowfall is more evidence of global warming due to bigger storms. When you know how to spin things you can spin them into whatever you want or need.

      Don't forget glacier national park that is growing and the road to it this summer blocked with twenty feet of snow and the park service had to remove ALL the signs saying the glaciers would ALL be gone by 2020. I guess global warming has nothing to do with science at all. Oh and the greenland ice sheet that grew by gigatons during the melting season. Oh the the great barrier reef that's been growing for years now and the Pacific that has been cooler at the equator for the last three years. What happened to that trace gas they cry about? Oh yes. It's increasing while the earth cools. Odd.

      @PiXie232 2 роки тому +1

      Probably ranged between 10-60 feet deep, with varying thicknesses in different areas, I’m guessing. Maybe a bit thicker than that.. but not much, because it would then turn into glacial ice instead due to the weight of the thickness of the ice, which in turn would’ve destroyed the artifacts. That’s something I’d like to know the info they have on that as well. But based on what I know about geology and glaciers, as I studied geology, and from what one could see in the video, I think that’s a fairly good estimate:)
