Notice that when it comes to US artifacts and history…don’t seem to needed to be treated with dignity and respect.
These are the so called African Americans. Not the so called native Americans
Too bad we can’t see how many dislikes this video got …
Want to know something. The neighborhood i live in had HUNDREDS of mounds in the late 1800s and the people flattened them to make houses.
nobody would have to hide things from the government if the government didn’t hide unclassified information ‘like…proof of Giants up to 25ft in height
WHY IS EVERYONE SO SURPRISED? AAWWW THE GOVERNMENT IS WORRIED ABOUT OUR NATURAL HISTORY OF THE NATIVES🙄😑 YOU CANT HIDE OUR GREATNESS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS..And the public will never see there work because they were “SAVAGES” with no history that contributed to the evolving of the history of men..I love the way they lie🗣🗣🤥🤥🙄🙄
Why is ancient native artifacts in museums? Shouldn’t they be with the native reserves and descendants of native Americans?
The poor Native Americans Graves allowed to pillaged with permission of USA government. Staten Island NY…there are Native American Graves paved over to make parking lots and McMansions…..home of the Lenape Native Americans. Navajo Nation ravaged by USA corporations as well.
I want to dig up a george Bushs grave.
You find old clothing, money, interesting things from digging up white people’s graves
Digging in the earth to find stuff is illegal everybody….the government draws the line at murdering Native Americans and stealing their land.
Finders keepers, losers weepers.
Rewrite history cbs that’s why I’ll never watch this channel again !
Now the FBI will make a ton of money….USA GOVERNMENT…..KA–CHING!!!!!
Not everything is rooted in "racism" lady good Lord.
Sorry POS FBI narcissists need to locked up and key thrown away
would have loved to see his house.
Its about time!
Hybrid Giants.
When i find an artifact i think of it as me preserving history and trying to understand the culture that chose that particular spot to live and why. It should be encouraged to collect stone artifacts.
I think he just loved history.. I got no problem with that..
What they basically did was sent them replicas and kept the real artifacts
Racism … really ? SMH
our past was stolen, not all artifacts are native. Hence no digging any "federal parks."
News is such b.s. feed the racism b.s. stop it. They act like their are linchings going on every weekend
Amazing, all these killers and dealers out there and they target a collector. Yes some laws were broken but at least he had them on display like a museum. But no, the government wants there piece. I don’t agree with keeping peoples bones, but these artifacts will just disappear if not found. Also, museums are full of bones and stolen artifacts illegally obtained. Such BS
So why is our road covered with paleo artifacts we are still finding them on our road
These developers dug up a ancient burial ground and paved the road .
We’re still gathering bones and tools all the pottery is missing
This is what we get for giving women political power
There are lots of sites along the old national road.. Travelers in wagon trains etc. Most are marked now.
Guess its different if its the smithsonian/govnmt?
The FBI guy knows why, because it’s a trophy for sick Americans who still believe how they claimed this land was right.
Awwww the FBI cares.
Over 100 artifacts have been gathered since last week after the discovery in eastern new mexico.The fire starters over 30 of those .Its a village worth of paleo artifacts
The racism part is bull manure. Good on this guy for collecting. Personally I can’t give a rip what happens to my carcass when I’m dead and gone.
Her answer to why? "Racism". People who love history don’t even think like that; they love ancient cultures. People don’t collect things they hate. If laws were broken, fine. Do what is needed to make things right. But don’t manufacture a narrative of ‘hate’ where there is none. It was st this point in couldn’t take this ‘professor’ seriously.
Besides, has she seen how much of Europe has been dug up? Pathetic.
Disgusting people, all of them. The man who digs up graves, the FBI who are absolute criminals and commit numerous crimes and the others who support such BS.
Racism?🙄🙄
It has nothing to do with racism or global warming superstition
Well there arent ancient white graves in America professor. Unless they start finding viking burial mounds.
im sure they smashed them and dumped it in the ocean…..
i think the effort that they put into this is ten times more than they put into helping living native americans
He died because the government accused him and raided his privacy rip to this man
Always gotta throw in race…how about people are fascinated with their culture and exquisite tools! It was a very different thing back then. Give the old guy a break. He did the right thing in the end. Obviously, he wasn’t selling them. He was appreciating them!!! I dobut they went back to the countries… They went to high dollar collectors and museums.
Lmbo if someone Diggsr me up hundreds of years from now and can make money from doing so. More power to them. I have found 2 Arrowheads in my life. I brought them home and placed them in my home for reverence. I often sit at my desk. Many times I handling them and wonder about the hands that made them? What was he like. What did he care about. Why was the point where I found it? Did the archer miss? What a loss it must have been to miss when so much effort went into making the arrow? The hands that made the thing they live in the thing because I contemplate the hands of he that did the thing. I have small objects I would like to be buried with. I like the idea some curious person in the far future will contemplate me. I hope his mind buzzes with questions. Yes I will not relinquish those 2 Arrow heads not because of any monetary value. But because the hands that made it and the hands that launched it. Sent it to me and we are forever linked. I like to think while the man might have looked for his losed arrow. I wonder who if anyone will ever find it.
I bet he never knew how far into the future he launch his special effort. Try and take them from me just try. In the pocket of my burial garment or at least the place it once was. I hope somebody finds those two arrow points and wonders.
About the man that made them and why a European found them so valuable.
He sounds like a cool guy but def should not have taken bones
Yes, it’s so important to take stuff from somebody, and put it in a box in the basement of a museum, never to be seen again.
After all, only the "gubmint" has the right to rob graves.
Yeah they have been doing it in Europe for years. Not racism.
Stupied af just the government bs
Now imagine this is only ONE, persons illegals collection! There are more illegally obtained relics than are legitimate ! Half the artifacts that are for sale on websites, are illegal . This is unfair to the country’s they originate from and, it’s unfair to the academic community who now have no provenance for these items ! They’re basically useless, once they’re dug up and taken ! No matter how valuable the artifact !!!
Lairs just wanted to steal his collection
