Many years ago I was in Colorado at the Lovland Stone age fair. That particular year Dr. Dennis Stanford from the Smithsonian was one of the guest speakers.(This also had an all star cast of speakers including Dr. George Frison but another story.)At the time, Dennis presented the Solutrean, Clovis connection. At first the thought was how in the world would this even be possiable, but I was there to learn and hear from those I respect. As growing up with all the text books suggesting that the right of passage went through the Bering Staights my thoughts were to hold onto this as the only fact. But the more I listen to what Dr. Stanford said on how this was possiable the more I sat up in the chair and hung on every word he said. For me it made sense from the oldest dates of Clovis sites being on the East coast, to the similar tool reduction of the points from both cultures. It was also plausable for me, by the means by which they would have traveled across an ice sheet. I sat there with the thought that if man did come from the Bering Straights from Siberia, would they have not experinced the same Ice cap and roughly the same distance but without the help of sea animals to feed off of. If I only had a cyrstal ball to tell me, but I don't, so is this a fact or is this fiction. I can only imagine. Those that disagree that this is possiable, I ask how did the Pyramid’s get built. If it was from the labor of men, then man has the ability to cross an ocean ice cap.
Please excuse all mispelled words and grammer mistakes, but would love to here any thoughts on this subject.

This is only a theory, I know that there will be great debate on this subject for years to come. Charlie I find your prophetic insight scary. I understand that lines have been drawn both pro's and con's. The book is out and from there the battle lines can be drawn. I am neither for or against this subject, it simply has no hard fact evidence. This subject has been on other posts from time to time and I am surprised that I have seen this return. Mods please lock this thread if you see fit.
