Scientists Have Found Ancient Weapons That Could Rewrite The History Of America’s First Settlers

Most Americans learn that the first settlers of the continent were the Clovis people, who left distinctive spear points across the land about 13,000 years ago. But according to this video, excavations near Austin, Texas, may have turned up something that doesn’t fit that picture. Buried beneath the layers where Clovis tools are usually found, researchers reportedly uncovered spear tips with a different, less familiar design. Dating methods that rely on sunlight trapped in ground crystals are said to have produced surprising results. If those weapons are as old as the video suggests, who were the people who made them, and how far back does the story of America really go? Press play to follow the clues.
