Interesting video. On the subject, History is not what we think. During the 1600's My American tribal ancestors here in Florida noticed when the Spaniards and other Europeans entering the mouth of the now ST. Johns river and unloading goods and people instead of going on the warpath or moving deeper in the wilderness as we see in movies and text books started a warehouse business.

The study of ancient history often relies on the egos and opinions of the late 19th century and early 20th century professional and amateur archeologists who were often funded by Universities. The Universities accepted everything the archeologists published without question because it validated their investment.
