An Immortal Horse
By Robert Bruce Baird, Sat Dec 10th
AN IMMORTAL HORSE? Egyptian scholars know there is little other than fiction thatcan be written about the civilization that lived on the banks ofthe Nile in far more recent times than the beginning of the 'OldCopper Culture'. All these things are related and the oldfictions are replaceable with the story of a worldwide culturewith trading posts in each and every part of the world. Is thereany remnant of cultural pride in Iran that treats the ancientmetallurgists of their region with a different kind of respectthan our history attributes to them? Does anyone think thesenationalistic ideologues and pedagogues of today are real andhonest presenters of fact? The whole concept of nationalism andmost other 'isms' (except ecumenicism) need close scrutiny. Thearea of the Snake River in east central Minnesota may have beenthe site of copper mining when the glaciers covered the GreatLakes. Would it be possible for people 20,000 years ago to havebeen mining these sites and lost their access due to theglaciers? We humbly suggest this is the case and that they thenreturned as the glaciers melted. Petaga Point and work by PeterBleed in 1969 may offer a starting point for that kind ofthinking. He wrote The Archaeology of Petaga Point: ThePreceramic Component by the Minnesota Historical Society. "Petaga Point is a multicomponent site in central Minnesotanear Mille Lacs Lake. The earliest levels appear to have OldCopper affiliations. The stratigraphy of the site was badlydisturbed by forest clearing and modern habitation, and thepresented stratigraphy is basically a statisticalreconstruction. In this book, Bleed is the first to suggest apossible native copper source in the area of the Snake river ineast central Minnesota."(1) (Article continued below)
This area is included in the culture we call Aztlan andinvolves Wisconsin sites such as Reigh, Osceola and Riverside.These sites may explain why there are no burials on Isle Royaleor the Superior copper mining sites to the north. In the case ofRiverside it is much later according to the archaeologic dataand 1045 B.C. would have been a period of the Dark Ages whenmuch worldwide technology was lost after the Trojan War. WalterKenyon wrote about a site on the shores of the present day LakeHuron which was further inland and relates to a time when theGreat Lakes were far differently configured. "The Inverhuron site, located on the east shore of Lake Huronin Ontario, was excavated in 1956. The archaeological materialsare contained in beach deposits, with earlier materials fartherback from the present shore. A conical copper point wasrecovered from the limited testing of the extensive Archaiccomponent. Kenyon compares it to those found at Farquhar Lake(Popham & Emerson 1954:18). He also describes a stone adze withan unusual form which he feels may have been derived from OldCopper celts."(2) The next brief report raises the issue of the horse that wasonce native to North America. It disappeared around 8,000 B.Cafter the Carolina Bays Meteors that are responsible for many ofthe instrumentation effects in the lower to middle BermudaTriangle region. The horse may thus have actually been used innative copper mining of America. But we are convinced the issueof who the natives are that did this mining, is significantly upin the air or an outright cover-up (If you are inclined toconspiracies other than 'LOVE' as Father Pierre de Chardin whoworked on Piltdown and with Black in China, asked us to begin.). "1954 The Old Copper Assemblage and Extinct Animals. 'AmericanAntiquity' 20:169-170. Quimby analyses an occurrence of deeply buried copper artifactsand associated animal bones near Fort Williams in southwestOntario. The discovery, made in 1913 and 1916, was recorded in ageological report. Quimby reasons that the site may date to theAltithermal, approximately 3500-2000 B.C., and that the bonesare those of the bison and the extinct native horse." (3) This extinct native horse is around later than other dataunequivocally states the horse was extinct in North America. Itis almost too hard to believe there would be no other horseremains over a period of even a thousand years unless they wereall completely domesticated and the bones didn't exist becausetheir owners cremated them in reverence. That is indeed apossibility when one considers the relationship various Kelticpeoples had for the horse (but highly unlikely due to the wayhorses thrive in the wild.). Might we suggest anotheralternative? The horses found here had been brought to Americato work milling machines on the route to the Trent or otherOntario river system routes that were used once the Ottawa Riverwas no longer the conduit for Great Lakes water? This is at theend of the Old Copper culture and the location the horse wasfound is in close proximity to Isle Royale. I don't think thisis a co-incidence. In addition to the eastern routes including Lake Champlain andMemphremagog there appears to have been some overland westernroute that led to the Fox or Aleutian Islands and even toVancouver Island. In collating this information a University ofMinnesota researcher brings together many interesting facts thatindicate southwestern Ontario became the site of processing ormanufacturing for copper after the sites on the Ottawa River arereported as being no longer in use by J. V. Wright that we havespoken of often. There are many routes from Lake Huron to LakeOntario that may have been taken during this period. One of themis only a few hundred yards or a little more than a mile fromwhere I now live in Toronto. The Humber River may have connectedwith Georgian Bay. Lake Simcoe and the Trent system seem likelyat certain times after 2000 B.C. when the trade may have shiftedaway from a heavy emphasis on copper. The horse being part ofthis in a period five thousand
years after their extinction ishard to fathom unless we connect with the European contacts weare making. Processing Centers of a Non-Indigenous Nature For eachRoute: "1975 Taxonomic and Associated Considerations of CopperTechnology During the Archaic Tradition. Ph. D. Dissertation,University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. This source provides the first detailed information on foursites related to the Old Copper complex. PICKEREL LAKE (aka"Sarberg"), collected 1968-71, is located in Quetico Park,southwest Ontario. Copper artifacts were found along a beach androcky shore by campers, along with corner notched lithic points.There were indications of copper manufacture. {N.B.!}Steinbringexamines that possibility that this site, which stronglyresembles the McCollum site, may represent the last vestiges ofthe Old Copper complex. TULABI FALLS, Whiteshell ProvincialPark, Manitoba, was excavated in 1972. The site contained 4copper artifacts, rich faunal remains and no signs of coppermanufacture. WHITEMOUTH FALLS on the Winnipeg River in Manitobaproduced 1 copper artifact. The site is deeply stratified, witha middle stratum radiocarbon date of 4860 +/-150 suggesting thatthe earliest strata may be 7000 years old. HOUSKA POINT on theRainey Lake in Ranier, Minnesota was excavated in 1970-71. Thestratigraphy was significantly disturbed. The site producedapproximately 600 copper artifacts, all characterized asfragile. Two gracile socketed forms were found in ceramicstrata, and a possible socket fragment in a pre-ceramic strata.{Ceramic technology in this Aztlan area was prior to in otherareas, and should not be regarded in the same archaeologicperiod per my research.} Trim bits and nuggets eroding fromadjacent shoreline indicated copper manufacture on the site.(See Rapp 1984 regarding raw material source of the copperhere.) Steinbring 1975 is cross-listed under Section I withnotes on other contents. 1971 Test excavation at the Fish LakeDam Site, Minnesota. 'The Minnesota Archaeologist' 31 (1):3-40. This site, located 20 miles northwest of Duluth, Minnesota, wasinvestigated by the University of Winnipeg in 1969. {Duluth isthe key area of the iron ore range of today (Mesabi) and wouldhave been a port for the Aztlan culture when the Old CopperCivilization was mining Isle Royale.} Copper artifacts werefirst discovered here by a collector in association with "LatePaleo/Boreal Archaic" lithic artifacts. A few copper artifactswere discovered in 1969, also with typologically Planomaterials. The stratigraphy was essentially destroyed, butbecause there were no ceramics present all the pre-historicmaterial was treated as a single Archaic component. Many copperartifacts were reportedly removed from the vicinity in the early1900s, from sites which are believed to now be under water."(4) SUMMARY AND THE X FACTOR: We must make some guesses that are totally speculative to tryto tie some of this information into a common sense perspective.The geologic record which we dealt with in earlier chaptersassures us that the Hudson/Lake Champlain or Richelieu Valleywas a prime conduit for the water from the Great Lakes at somepoint. It may have occurred at different points as the nativeIndians speak of the river that flows both ways. The rise ofland after the glacial retreat contributes to the landforms thatstand in the way of access for Lake Memphremagog or LakeChamplain to the waters of the St. Lawrence. There would havebeen a time before the horses of America were extinct (not theanomalous one noted, but back to 8,350 BC and before) when theglaciers still locked the mouth of the St. Lawrence.Memphremagog was probably not the mouth of any great watersystem at this time but pre-glacial lakes in front of theretreating glaciers would have been there at some point. It is probably just a stretch of my fertile imagination tosuggest that there were knowledgeable people who had harvestedcopper from the surface of the Lake Superior region before theglaciers advanced. If this 'float ore' left from earlier glacialeffects had been found when the National Geographic and othersacknowledge Europeans and earlier Asians arrived in the Americaswould they have found them useful and returned to Europe withthe information, or with other intent (Including War) to showthose who threw them out of their homeland? If that occurred andthey kept the verbal tradition alive through all the last stageof glacial advances that covered the Great Lakes they might alsohave found a time when the Connecticut River appealed to themand they began mining around 10,500 years ago or before when thelower Great Lakes were uncovered. The marble and quartz of theregion around the Laurentian Shield of southern Ontario andQuebec might have been enough to interest them while waiting toget at the copper. If this scenario has any credence it seems likely that theChinese or Asian/Mu people were involved in Aztlan at this timeand before as well. I can find no specific evidence of when theMu people fought the remnants of the mythical Atlantis except arecord on the frieze at Chichen Itza which could relate to anytime period or peoples. There are lots of legends to suggestthey were in contact and we know for sure they were livingtogether in the Tarim Basin near Ürümchi; or even earlier whenthe Great Lop-Nor was a real Mediterranean Sea between two hugemountain ranges. Lao Tzu went there at the end of his life tosee the 'Ancient Masters'. We know the Uighurs fought major battles around 17,000 yearsago as the glaciers retreated in Asia. They might also havefought in America at this time. The racial make-up of theUighurs is uncertain and may include a mixture of red-heads withChinese as we saw in the Altaic region and Ürümchi. TheSolutrean culture of Europe had a technology that would fit withthe Clovis culture that spread across America at this time. "TheSolutrean culture of western Europe, dating between 24,000 and16,500 years ago, shows a similar lithic technology to that usedto produce Clovis tools. The two cultures also sharebone-shaping techniques, pebble-decorating artistry, the unusualtradition of burying stone tools in caches filled with redocher, and other traits." This is also taken from EncyclopediaSmithsonian. (5) So the people of America may be those who retreated before theUighurs or they may be the Uighurs after they were thrown backor they may be totally unconnected. Nonetheless this is a periodwhen we can fit the Aztlan culture into place near the recedingglaciers of Lake Superior and Minnesota's 10,000 lakes of today.But it is even more likely that there was a great influx ofpeople from Central Asia into North America long before thesedates. AND THEY ARE NOT ASIAN! This Haplogroup X genetic markerproof is so aligned with our theory regarding certain Indiantribes as to be scary; therefore I do not want to focus on ittoo much. There are debunkers who say it may not be so correctand it is too early to tell. But the more recent 'Y' Chromosomeresearch of Professor Jones confirms and extends the 'X'research. The Sioux are known to have moved from the moundbuilder site and we have commented on the Ojibwa of Manitoulinand their copper. The Northwest roots of the Navajo ties in withthe linguistic similarity between Basque, SE Asia and Mayanthrough the Denhe of the Northwest as we covered before. Itmight be a stretch to say our trepanning connection to theYakima in the Pacific Northwest exists but I know you will haveto admit my guesswork has found great support through genetics.I also have Walter Kenyon providing something he did not fullyunderstand in esoteric rituals having to do with trepanning; faraway from the Yakima and on the eastern Copper Route to Europeand the Mediterranean.
