Unearthed 14,000-Year-Old Settlement May Require Revising History Of North America Recent: Oral stories hold significant historic value as they represent a unique and invaluable means of preserving and transmitting cultural, historical, and social knowledge from one generation to the next. That assertion has rested on traditional oral accounts passed down through thousands of generations, not exactly bulletproof evidence to bring to the negotiating table. Last year, though, an excavation was undertaken that would put those claims to the test.

Archaeologists Found an Extraordinary Pyramid That’s Apparently 27,000 Years Old: A new study claims that the Gunung Padang site in Indonesia is a “prehistoric pyramid” from up to 27,000 years ago. The study authors site ground-penetrating technologies as the main source for the conclusion. The archaeological community, however, is questioning the findings and the paper is now under investigation.

So, he has continued making them.

Why the Supreme Court won’t overrule that Trump aided an insurrection: legal expert: This would be a historic case, to say the least. If the justices rule directly on whether Trump is disqualified under the Constitution, their ruling would apply in every state, not only Colorado.
