Flags are invented, or the first place that we have evidence for it is along the Nile Valley on these pre-dynastic pots, which they're not the stone vases, but just like clay pottery. They would make little paintings on them. And people have these riverboats that have these flags on them, and the flags would say what city you had come from or what village you had come from.

And so flags are an old world thing. We don't have any evidence of flags in the new world. All right. He's also wearing a turban. He's got this big turban that's draping off the back of his head. And he very clearly has this distinct beard that's popping out. Now, Native Americans, sometimes they're Asiatic. They have Asian DNA. And Asians don't really grow typically.

Sometimes they'll grow the little stash and a little bit of a beard here, but they don't have that. big, thick beard that you would see, you know, like in Europe or along the Mediterranean in the Middle East. And so this guy has this big, thick beard and then he's got boots on his feet as well. And we think that these are these glyphs that you see to his left and right.

And these are really, really early Olmec glyphs. And they interpret that foot to the left as saying that he came from somewhere. He was a traveler. And so this The thought here is – so this is around 900 BC, give or take, a little bit. They don't really – they really have no idea when these are made. Like you go to all the monuments and it says made somewhere between 1500 BC and 400 BC.

They'll say 1500 BC and 400 BC. And so they really are uncertain about how old a lot of these monuments are.

But if we shoot for dead center 900 BC, the Phoenicians out of the Mediterranean are launching these sailing expeditions around the coast of Africa. These are the ancient world's greatest sailors that we know of. And so there were like experimental archaeological or scientific, I don't know, expeditions done that show if you would send one of these early Iron Age boats or if you send any ship –

out of the gates of Hercules or the Strait of Gibraltar, and you send it out into the Atlantic, and it drifts just a little bit too far without turning south along the African coast, it will be carried by a current across the Atlantic Ocean down into the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and straight into the Gulf of Mexico.

And if that had happened, if people who had looked like they're in the old world like this guy, if that had happened, Somebody from the Old World, the largest civilization at the time, the empire in this area would have been the Olmecs. And the reason I feel so strongly about that is because we do not have flags, turbans, or boots in the ancient Americas.
