Early America History
The discovery of America has been told and credited to Christopher Columbus, an Italian explorer. Until the discovery of ancient markings, carved into rocks around the us requires history to be rewriting.
According to John Ruskamp, an epigraph researcher claims that the symbols carved up on the rock in petrograph national monument in Albuquerque are evidence that ancient Chinese explorers discovered America around 1,300BC nearly 2,800 years before Christopher Columbus. Archeologist found what they believe to be a bronze leather buckle and a bronze whistle dating to around 800 AD in Alaska. However, bronze was not developed in Alaska at that time and so researchers instead believe it was created in china, Korea, or Yakutia. 'We're seeing the interactions, indirect as they are, with these so-called "high civilizations" of China, Korea or Yakutia,' Owen Mason, a research associate at the University of Colorado.

Ruskamp said, “These ancient Chinese writings in North America cannot be fake, for the markings are very old as are the style of the scripts. As such the findings of this scientific study confirm that ancient Chinese people were exploring and positively interacting with the Native peoples over 2,500 years ago. The pattern of the finds suggests more of an expedition than settlement.” While many people agree some do disagree Ruskamp also claims that he has identified 84 pictograms, which match unique ancient Chinese sites in various locations around the US including New Mexico, California, Oklahoma, Utah, Arizona and

    “So far archeologist have found 139 offerings and more than 9,000 objects, including children’s skeletons, bones of marine fish, turtle shells…masks, musical instruments… and cotton textiles.”22 Archeologist even discovered what appeared to be a “…god of death statue… bathed with large quantities of blood from sacrificed people…”23 A reminder of gory rituals practiced by the Aztecs. What is interesting about some of the more obscure and less exciting items is not the items themselves but where they came from. Objects that were unearthed were found to have come from places such as the Gulf Coast, Guerrero24, and “…the modern states of New Mexico and Arizona.”25 This shows the extensive lengths that the Aztecs travelled for trade. Their power, influence and strength reached far beyond the boundaries of their capital in Tenochtitlan. Many of the more significant offerings and objects found at the temple are reminders of the importance of the two deities of the Templo Mayor to the Aztec people. Every layer of fill contained offerings to the gods, most of which were related to Huitzilopochtli and Tlaloc.26 Leonardo Lopez Lujan and Judy Levin believe that the arrangement of the offerings in the fill “… can tell us how the Aztec people understood the world and what they were trying to say to the gods through their…

    Mr. Greger, who kids called “The Blob” when he wasn’t looking, was waddling around inspecting lay-ups. He worked for Denver Middle school #123 and hated it. As he was waddling, the kids could hear his stomach sloshing around and at the same time see it jiggle. It was hard to suppress a laugh. He would occasionally stop to criticize kid’s form but he wouldn’t make a big deal about it. That is, until he stopped at a certain group, Carrie and Teddy’s group. They didn’t notice that he was watching them until he boomed, “What are you doing Carrie? That’s all wrong! You need to do it like this!”…

    I have e-mailed you, and I have set up an appointment to discuss the choice I should make concerning my topic for this research paper and presentation. I have always been interested in American history, but it seems as though I never gave much thought to the particular time period in which I am most interested. I have concluded however, that I do not know much about Colonial America. Every time I would sit down and begin to delve deeper into a topic I believed I might want to write about, I would realize that it did not fall under that “Colonial” category. I am interested in the study of the history of women, and I know that until the Women’s Movement of the 1960s, not much had been…

    Christopher Columbus is one of the most well known names in the western world because of what he accomplished during his lifetime. He was an explorer, a navigator, and a colonizer and, with his unrelenting determination, he would be the man to “discover” the New World. Although he thought that he found India and a better route to Asia rather than sailing around the southern tip of Africa, he had really stumbled upon the Americas. While he may have had the actual location wrong, his accidental discovery has effectively changed the timeline of human existence greatly, and has helped shape the world as we know it into what it is today.…

    The Thirteen Colonels of America have been working on this new idea of Democracy, while still under the British rule. The colonists in Maryland created the Assembly of Maryland, "Where in document 1, they created a law to protect ever form of Christianity and allow them to practice it," as well, "it prevents people of one form of Christianity from going out and attacking another person, who is practicing a different form of Christianity," (Citizen Legislators and Toleration). That was one of the first things that this new Democracy in America has achieved in their way to a better world. This law stopped people from attacking other religions and allowed the freedom of practicing any form of Christianity in Colonial America without fear of being beaten for it. But another democratic feature, which happened in Colonial America was the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut.…
