An ancient 'lost world' off the coast of the United States could change the story of the first Americans

A newly discovered archaeological site on the Channel Islands off the coast of California suggests that early inhabitants of the Americas may have arrived by sea rather than overland through a land bridge from Siberia. The findings include human remains dating back 13,000 years, ancient settlements, and evidence indicating maritime travel along the Pacific coastline during the Ice Age. This challenges the widely accepted theory that the first Americans migrated via a land corridor through western Canada. Researchers believe these discoveries could fundamentally change our understanding of the earliest human migration to the continent. However, some archaeologists remain skeptical about whether the Channel Islands provide conclusive proof of this maritime migration. The area has been studied for over a century, with significant finds such as the Arlington Springs Man discovered in the mid-20th century. A new documentary highlights these findings and the mysteries still hidden beneath the islands and surrounding waters.

Bias read (Center): The article presents scientific research and archaeological findings without overt ideological framing. It discusses competing theories among researchers but does not favor one perspective over another. The content focuses on historical and scientific inquiry rather than contemporary political or政策争
