Can You Dig It? More Evidence Suggests Humans From The Ice Age
In Florida, archaeologists are investigating a site that a century ago sparked a scientific controversy. Today, it's just a strip of land near an airport.
But in 1915, it was a spot that became world-famous because of the work of Elias Sellards, Florida's state geologist. Sellards led a scientific excavation of the site, where workers digging a drainage canal found fossilized animal bones and then, human remains.
Andy Hemmings of Mercyhurst University is the lead archaeologist on a project that has picked up where Sellards left off a century ago.
"Quite literally, where we're standing, they found what they, at the time, dubbed 'skeleton two' and 'skeleton three.' It turns out it's actually one individual, now known as Vero Man," Hemmings says.
The human remains were in a layer of soil that also contained bones from animals that lived in Florida during the Ice Age: mastodons, giant sloths and saber-toothed cats.
In Sellards' 1916 Florida Geological Survey report, markings suggest evidence of humans. Figs. 1-2 show engravings on a tusk from the Pleistocene of Florida. It's likely a lower, probodoscidian tusk of Mammut americanum. Fig. 3 is a bird bone fragment with markings.

Sellards said this was proof that people lived in Florida during the Ice Age, at least 14,000 years ago. At the time, most scientists believed humans had been in the New World no longer than 6,000 years.

After a pole shift, the new 33rd parallel is said to be a line between Georgia (US) and Jerusalem. Is it possible that a physical pole shift occurred before or after that time, rendering the Florida area to be south of the equator?

There have been many pole shifts and many ice ages. Its
how planets get built. Which is the usual cause of
sudden large land movements. Earth once had ONE large
land mass. Large land movements also caused by massive
asteroid hits too which can also be a cause of huge
sinking where they hit. Gulf of Mexico seems to be a
big hit area and its fun to use Google earth to look at
the bottom of that. (and numerous other areas).
Antarctica was once on the equator. Lands have risen
and fallen... Atlantis and Lemuria are both under the
sea.
accompanying pole shifts and asteroid hits change not
only the location of the equator but also the tilt of
the planet.

It this is what you meant, it likely happened many thousands of years
earlier.. interesting article at link.
"A geomagnetic reversal is a change in a planet's magnetic field such that
the positions of magnetic north and magnetic south are interchanged.
The Earth's field has alternated between periods of normal polarity, in
which the direction of the field was the same as the present direction, and
reverse polarity, in which the field was the opposite. These periods are
called chrons. The time spans of chrons are randomly distributed with
most being between 0.1 and 1 million years[citation needed] with an
average of 450,000 years. Most reversals are estimated to take between
1,000 and 10,000 years. The latest one, the Brunhes–Matuyama reversal,
occurred 780,000 years ago. A brief complete reversal, known as the
Laschamp event, occurred only 41,000 years ago during the last glacial
period. That reversal lasted only about 440 years with the actual change
of polarity lasting around 250 years. During this change the strength of
the magnetic field dropped to 5% of its present strength.[1] Brief
disruptions that do not result in reversal are called geomagnetic
excursions."

Hi Akira,
Since Polydactyl said "physical pole shift" and talked about Florida being south of the equator I doubt a geomagnetic reversal is what she meant.

"The magnetic field will not vanish completely, but many poles might
form chaotically in different places during reversal, until it stabilizes
again.[26][27]”
I call that a pole shift, but I'll let Polydactyl speak for him/her self... go
ahead & keep trying to cya. You're gonna need a bigger shovel.

Hi Akira,
LOL... are you just trying to be argumentative?
Context explains a lot when reading what someone has written. Just think for a minute would a geomagnetic pole shift move Florida to the southern hemisphere? Polydactyl also used the words "physical pole shift".
Cheers
Jim

Don't try to pretend I'm as confused as you are. All I was saying is that it
looked as though Polydactyl was referring to a geomagnetic reversal,
based on what wikipedia definition and I still do, only Polydactyl isn't
around to confirm it.
"Polydactyl also used the words "physical pole shift" ???
Do you think he/she believes an physical pole is involved? Like a column
of solid gold? I don't understand your point. Do you?

Hi Akira,

Well YES to both questions. Polydactyl is a big believer in many pseudoscience concepts including a physical pole shift as written about by Velikovsky, Hapgood and more recently the crazy Nibiru people and many C2C guests. Physical pole shifts are almost a cornerstone of the for profit pseudoscience business.

Nope. The physical pole shift thing is just the stuff of poor quality fiction and doomers. It isn't realistic and would basically destroy the Earth if that type of force happened.
