Episode notes
Clovis First Challenge
- Jacques Cinq-Mars's Bluefish Caves findings predated Clovis, challenging the Clovis-first theory.
- His work was initially rejected, his career damaged, but later vindicated, showing resistance to new ideas.
Monteverde's Vindication
- Tom Dillehay's Monteverde site in Chile also challenged Clovis First with earlier dates.
- Despite initial attacks, his findings were eventually accepted, further weakening the Clovis First model.
Sahara's Potential
- The Sahara Desert is largely unexplored archaeologically, with only about 1% excavated.
- This makes it premature to rule out a lost civilization there, especially given its past habitability.
