Lets not forget the 600+ tons Herodian stones
Good point, since we have actual records that indicate who erected these and why.

Just a note cultures that have no apparent link will often have common cultural traits due to their having evolved in the same type of environment, ie they will have adapted their technology to work best in that environment . Such adaptations will appear similar despite no contact between the actual groups.
Examples: People who hunt large fish all evolved the use of barbs on harpoons (to hold the fish on), everyone who harvested grain developed sickle like tools and similar crushing techniques. Everyone who hunted boar or similar animals developed a cross bar beneath the head of the spear to prevent a madden animal 'climbing' the spear. Etc.

LOL OMG .. Disinfo Much !? All you are talking about is the Basics ...
Hate to put it to YA.. it's a little more then that.. Yeah Common as too the Bow and Arrow Or Club..
Or Animal Skins
For Feats Like this Location and Time Apart there was some Connection of Communication unless we had Wireless Medium Sense's ESP.. back then .. From Similar clothing, Tepees Carrying Cradle Boards Close to the same religion Tools same way of Hunting Gathering .. Smoke & Steam Houses aka Rooms!! I Bet if you take a Traditional Cree and placed him in a Traditional SAMI Environment, or Vice Versa both would feel at home...
Im talking about no Link in Race but Close to Identical of Culture Compare the Canadian Northen Cree & Norway Laplander ( SAMI ) Culture Way of Life.. as a Communication of Something just maybe ... In all Trade Routes around the inner Circle of the Arctic is more likely

Hey there Hans ,
You have to look back many thousands of years to find the native American common ancestor to these later Eurasian people.

I stand corrected. I thought it was the reverse, that while they did reach down near the fingers lakes in central ny but the Hudson Valley from a little north of Albany was clear. Thanks for posting that. I knew that meltwAter erosion gave us the Hudson River but didn't think glaciation reached this far South(I'm currently a little north of Albany). That's what happens when I trust my memory and don't brush up on the facts with some due diligence.

Last common ancestor of the Siberians and Native American...and perhaps the Sami
New research has suggested that early Native Americans lived on the Bering Strait land bridge for millennia before traveling into North America.
According to NBC News, anthropologists have proposed a theory that states the early Native Americans settled in Beringia for at least 10,000 years. When the land bridge from Siberia to North America vanished, so did evidence of their time spent there.
Published in the journal Science, three researchers believe they have found new clues to the lost world of Beringia. From Bering Sea sediments, they found fossilized insects, plants and pollen that would suggest Beringia was one of the only Arctic shrub tundra areas, meaning it had wood available for fuel.

Hi wolfenz,
The reason we see a a similarities between these cultures, is that they share a common cultural ancestry, but it's thousands of years ago.
During the early Holocene, a group of native Americans back migrated into Eurasia, it's through this link that you find MtDna C , a native American haplogroup, in historic burials in nw Europe. It's also through this set of lineages that we find HgC Icelanders.

lol so are you saying that barbed harpoons were made by one culture and spread around the world?

Can you show any evidence of said 'trade route' and of a trans-Atlantic shipping capability?
Other cultures in NA used cradle boards too. If you are looking for a commonality you might have to look back many thousands of years to the common ancestor of the one of the waves of people who became the native Americans and those that much later became the Sami.
My premise holds; cultures that operate in the same environment tend to come up with the same technological solution to problems.
Before the Little Ice Age, Norwegian Vikings sailed as far north and west as Ellesmere Island, Skraeling Island and Ruin Island for hunting expeditions and trading with the Inuit and People of the Dorset culture who already inhabited the region

Its easy to check and see if there was ever a land bridge between North America and Europe during the time of man - there wasn't as far as anyone knows and ocean floor shows no sign of there having been one.
So your idea is that the Sami traditions got to the Native Americans by way of the Vikings?
...........If we are going to wildly speculate why not the reverse? (I'm kidding)
Can you show evidence that said cultures changed at that time? circa 1,000 AD
