Hi All! Was it a cosmic impact that caused the global cooling period known as the Younger Dryas around 12,800 years ago and decimated Clovis Culture? Those of you who read CHILDREN OF THE DAWNLAND are already familiar with this fascinating theory. We used it in the book. Our child heroes survive, of course!

Mass Grave in California from more than 500 years ago…

The chemistry of the murder victims’ teeth tells us these men were raised in the same region where they were buried, but spent a lot of the lives far away. When they came home, their people were apparently not happy to see them. Notice that from the positioning of the skeletal remains, the men appear to have been hurled into the grave. California’s native peoples traditionally went to great effort to properly bury their dead loved ones.

Just a reminder that ISIS is not alone in the destruction of ancient sites…

This is an old story, but worth remembering as we watch ancient archaeological sites being destroyed outside of North America. It happens here, too. Sadly, a few years ago several Navajo destroyed ancient rock art images of Hopi katchinas. Religious extremism is found in every culture around the world.
