From Kamchatka to Texas

It is 6000 miles as the crow flies from

Kamchatka, Siberia to TEXAS. The

Siberians who began the trip here,

wound up 3000 years later in Texas. There is a

continuous path of cave sites and rockshelters

with Clovis and Folsom cultural artifacts along

the way. All of us know by now that during

the Pleistocene, ocean water was tied up in the

Arctic ice to depths of a mile or more and the

oceans of the world were lowered by possibly

300 feet. During this time there was a land

bridge called Beringa open for travel, by foot,

to North America. This is the story of how

Asian people from Siberia were able to walk into

Alaska, and colonize the Western Hemisphere.

Kamchatka is a land filled with volcanoes and

subterranian lava tubes, which sometimes have

hot springs in them. In a land as cold as Siberia,

these tube caves are a perfect environment for

humans to live in comfort. Our trip began with

Siberians in either caves or lava tubes along the

Kamchatka peninsula, seeking the adventure of

finding new worlds to the East. This is a tale of

some fiction and fact and it is hoped that the

reader will find the journey exciting.
