    Why Is The OLDEST Technology the Most Advanced? The Clovis & Ancient Megalith Problem!

    The Clovis point is one of the most extraordinary andmysterious Ice Age technologies ever discovered. It appeared suddenly, fully formed and with no developmental history. It was one of the fastest and widest technological dispersals in human prehistory… and it appeared immediatelybefore the Younger Dryas catastrophe. In this episode, I follow the Clovis story from itsdiscovery to its collapse, and ask the question archaeology won’t ask: Where did this technology come from — and why does the most advanced lithic craftsmanship come first? Archaeologists already accept that Ice Age technology canappear suddenly, reach an extreme level of mastery, and then decline over time - as long as we’re talking about stone tools. Why is the same idea rejected when we look at ancient megalithic architecture – this is an archaeological DOUBLESTANDARD! The Clovis point is a true mystery. It’s also a reminderthat human history may not be a straight line upward — but that sometimes, the greatest achievements lie buried at the very beginning of the story. Tune in for an unforgettable episode – and stay tuned untilthe end, where I will show you Clovis, Paleo, Archaic, and other lithics from MY OWN inherited family collection —so you can see the “devolution” for yourself. Sometimes, the story becomes clearest when you hold it in yourhands! Topics covered: Clovis fluting & engineering •“Clovis First” and why it collapsed • Monte Verde • The Gault Site • Clovis aches (and why they matter) • Folsom & Bison antiquus • Archaic points • Arrowheads• The archaeological double standard. #Clovis #Arrowheads #FlintKnapping #Paleoindian#YoungerDryas #Megaliths #AncientHistory
