There is an old indigenous canoe from British Colombia that sailed around the world in 1901. I will try to tie some of it together by an continued elaboration of my own theory and a double edged critique of the hegemons as well as the alternative historians and archaeologists. Here the monopoly knowledge production of Cambridge University will take another blow which they might not recover from. After all not to many are looking for a proto-communist world society with painted sails before the Younger Dryas so I promise you unique good times!
