Oldest Skeleton In New World Discovered

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the god-is-burying-tests-again dept.

Death Metal Maniac writes "Dubbed Eva de Naharon, or Eve of Naharon, the female skeleton has been dated at 13,600 years old. If that age is accurate, the skeleton along with three others found in underwater caves along the Caribbean coast of the Yucatán Peninsula could provide new clues to how the Americas were first populated. The skeletons' skulls hint that the people may not be of northern Asian descent, which would contradict the dominant theory of New World settlement. 'The shape of the skulls has led us to believe that Eva and the others have more of an affinity with people from South Asia than North Asia,' González explained."

    Talking about the "truth" and then mentioning the catholic church essentially destroys your credibility. The whore church of babylon has NO credibility to be speaking of the truth of God's will.
