The ones from like a couple thousand years ago that are mounds, that are like shell mounds and earthen mounds.
No, no, I'm... I'm not an expert in, in Florida, you know, ancient Florida, but, um, yeah, I mean, I have seen numbers going back, uh, five, 7,000 years ago and, uh, of this, this chapter of, I don't, uh, of the chapter of these mound builders that existed, uh, off the coast of Florida and in Florida.
I mean, you can still find evidence of, of mounds going back to this same date, but all across the Caribbean down into Guyana, you see like these, uh, You see these cultural similarities, and it's thought that maybe at one point in time when the sea level is a little bit lower, it's easier for people to hop from South America across the Caribbean up into Florida.
With small boats, the distance would be shortened. There's definitely now a DNA connection, too, between the top of South America, the people of the Caribbean. But the link to Florida is not as clear.
Yeah, no, it's not as clear. Now, that's not Ice Age, but that's sometime afterwards. But, you know, that's pretty far back in time.
Right, that's geology. I have a friend who doesn't want me to name him, but he's a geology professor in University of Puerto Rico. And he sent me a dissertation of one of his students. Oh, really? That was not trying... Was not trying to debunk Bimini Road, but he was following – he was just doing his dissertation on this particular geological phenomena, which he called it like a table something.
But he – this dissertation had – examples just like the Bimini Road all over the Caribbean. Oh, really? So it's a geological phenomenon of the water rising and setting, and it's limestone.
That one might be it. I mean, it's weird. It fractures. It's limestone. It's like compacted seafloor, and then the water lowers 300 feet, and that stuff gets...
dry rotted like you know when you when a place gets muddy and then it gets dry and all of a sudden all of the mud chunks turn into kind of rectangular chunks yeah see that one with the same thing diving that one looks and then the water comes back up and it floats these things out in a in a unified pattern that in bimini especially it looks roadie yeah but you know you know leading to what
if the road is in such good condition and in these major blocks where's where where's the building it's leading to right uh is it is a question but without you know arguing against in that direction it's just it's geology and there's a how much have you looked into the whole atlantis theory have you paid a lot of any attention to it no not hardly at all right
These sort of invitations have me looking at it more than I've ever looked at it in my life, but I would not claim to be an expert or even have thought much about it before this phase of my life. When you're talking about this one is one of many, what if there's a bunch of stuff submerged under the ocean? Graham's right about that.
But in most cases where we know, like the example Luke just brought up, there are some things that are off the coast of Florida that are man-made and now underwater. But we have things on the mainland, too, that connect to them, and we have artifact assemblages that find ourselves in a certain amount of time or a certain time frame, carbon-14 things. Yeah.
I'm a fan of what I call the preponderance of evidence. One-offs disturb me. One-offs are not a pattern. Nothing that we can, as detectives, find a pattern that we can find an answer out of. When Easter Island has... You know, 500 dates now that are all confirming dates around 600 to 1,000 years as the first habitation of the island. Mm-hmm.
You know, you can't just walk in with, well, you can, and Graham did, with a big what if. You know, like, well, okay, so, you know, the archaeology says this. And then that one kind of made me sad because at first I was watching that episode and he was talking to a Rapa Nui person and asking them about their history. And they were telling him, like I've been told when I've been to the island.
You were there? I've been to the island a couple of times.
Yeah, I'm going back next year.
A couple of times. I haven't heard about fires lately. Right now there's just a protest at the airport because the locals are pissed off that the one and only airline that goes there changed their immigration forms. They're kind of letting anybody get in there again and they're pissed off.
But what I was going to say is, you know, he talked to these local folks and they told him what the Moai were. They're our ancestors. Here's how we moved them, all this stuff. And then the very next segment he goes, but what if they're wrong? What if they seem much more ancient? Like, oh, God, you just missed it, man. You were doing so good with the whole respecting and asking their opinion.
And then you just go, but what if they're wrong? Yeah. I don't know. You know, what if they're wrong? I guess. I mean, it's always possible they're wrong. But, you know, he was did such a great job respecting their opinion and then just stopped it.
They're full bodies. The ones that look like heads are just buried. They're at the quarry. And the slope over the hundreds of years have covered the bodies until they're just the heads. But the bodies are all there.
