The critical role played by eggheads and Austronesians in the Southeast

Since the 1880s, archaeologists and anthropologists in the Southeastern United States have defined Indigenous cultures by potsherds with English names. This has led them out into an orthodoxy, which is often, essentially mythology.

This mythology stated that once all of the Indigenous Americans had crossed the Bering Strain land bridge and chosen a place to live, they stayed at the same location until exterminated by European weapons and diseases. Well, the 5% who survived all became the federally-recognized tribes. No one else could possibly have real Native American ancestry,

Supposedly, all cultural changes were local phenomena, plus all Mesoamerican and South American cultivated plants in North America were transported by migrating birds . . . or Monarch butterflies, perhaps?

Anyone with an IQ over 65, who logically realized that immigrating peoples carried new genes, ideas and plant seeds with them were banished and shunned by anthropology professors . . . for fear that such heretical ideas would reach the tender ears of their students. That’s not a problem now because so few university students are majoring in anthropology.

The Many Peoples of the South Atlantic Coast Series

by Richard L. Thornton, Architect & City Planner

The mythical explanation of the painting above was created by Florida anthropology professors, but has been adopted by most anthropology professors at Southeastern Universities. It describes the scene as the King of the Satiuriwa Tribe at the majestic mouth of the St. Johns River in Jacksonville, Florida. Readers are told that although the Saturiuriwa Tribe was probably the most powerful and culturally advanced tribe on the South Atlantic Coast, it mysteriously disappeared between 1564, when the painting was made and 1566, when St. Augustine was founded.

As The Americas Revealed has told readers before, the St. Johns River did not have a mouth until a narrow channel was dug for fishing boats in the 1820s. Ocean-going ships could not enter the St. Johns River until 1860.

One does not have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that the Satille People lived along the two forks of the Satilla River until finally defeated in a long war with the Spanish Empire that began in 1565, when the Spanish attempted to build the first St. Augustine near the capital of the Satille on St. Andrews Sound in Georgia. The survivors ended up in the fertile bottomlands of Satilacoa Creek in Northwest Georgia. When their lands were given to the Cherokees in 1785, they moved southward and joined the Creek Confederacy.

Egghead kings all over the Southeast

My research is currently tracking across the Americas unique forms of architecture that originated in the mountains Taiwan 4500 years ago and Paracusa eggheads, who originated in southern Ukraine about 5,500 years ago. A fascinating fact I have uncovered is that the sons and daughters among the Paracusa elite in the Lower Southeast were literally purchased to become the nobility of tribes further north. This occurred at least as far north as Virginia, but maybe father. Powhattan was a Paracusa egghead, whose parents had been purchased from the Apalachete in Northeast Georgia.

What I am also finding that all of the emerging “kingdoms” that early French and Spanish explorers encountered on the South Atlantic Coast where ked by Paracusa nobility, who lived in either separate villages or in special large buildings. Their proto-kingdoms typically were composed by multiple ethnic groups.

So, what academicians have typically labeled “chiefdoms” were something else. They were multi-ethnic provinces, led by elite nobility, who were unusually tall and brainy. That is an entirely different understanding of the past in Eastern North America.
