Скачать или смотреть The Discovery That Rewrote American History: Uncovering the Clovis People

In 1929, as the Dust Bowl began to ravage the American plains, a 19-year-old amateur collector named Ridgley Whiteman made a startling discovery in the eroding gullies of eastern New Mexico. He found massive mammoth bones lying next to beautifully crafted stone spear points. He knew he had found evidence that humans had lived in North America alongside Ice Age beasts, a theory that most professional archaeologists of the day rejected.

This is the incredible true story of the Blackwater Draw site and the discovery of the Clovis culture. For years, Whiteman's letters to the Smithsonian were dismissed, but he refused to give up. His persistence finally brought archaeologist Edgar B. Howard to the site, initiating a frantic "salvage excavation" to save priceless evidence from being destroyed by an active gravel mine.

Follow the team as they unearth definitive proof of mammoth kill sites, establishing a human presence in the Americas far earlier than previously believed. Their work identified the distinctive "Clovis point" and established the Clovis people as the first widespread, recognizable culture in North America, forever changing our understanding of how and when the continent was first settled.
