John9001,
I'm not talking about that who did what and where, but about the cultures.
If we consider what the AMERICAN culture was, which you say is 10000 year old, and what it is now, it is near non-existant.
Today, the leading culture in north america, particularly in the area of USA, is the USA's culture itself - theres hardly a sign of the 10000 year culture.
This 10000 year old culture is probably among slightest effecting cultures in the current culture - which for most parts originates from elsewhere than the original north america.
USA's culture is mostly influenced by various european cultures, which then mixed up into it's own culture.
the least effecting are asian african and middle eastern cultures and on the very minor the original american culture - which was considered barbaric by most of these cultures.
The roots simply comes from elsewhere.
I don't know what the problem with this is...or would you rather live like in parts of south america or middle of nowhere in africa?
Martlet,
I really suggest you to take a lesson, since you don't give a very intelligent impression of yourself and top of it all, you're playing for my benefit right now, not yours.
An intellect person would play it down with an intelligent comment, not with the comments you just posted.
