And many of these "lies" were misunderstandings of the ill-educated, while others are old chestnuts trotted out by ill-informed critics for decades.

The Indians did not evolve here, they walked or sailed here but they became a sort of "lost" people in that they did not maintain communication with the Old World.

This is a terrible article.

Mike thanks for the warning. I will skip wasting time reading it. I also do not need to raise my blood pressure. Lol

Another review of the 1619 project? ;)
