Does Genesis have anything to do with the pre-European history of North America? The answer, surprisingly, is yes. Genesis has a shocking<\/em> amount of relevance to Native American history.<\/p>\n If you grew up in the public schools, you might be inclined to think otherwise. \u201cAbout 15,000 years ago, primitive Asians migrated across the Bering Strait into what is now Alaska\u201d\u2014so the mainstream story goes. It\u2019s a direct rejection of creation about 6,000 years ago, of the flood about 4,500 years ago, and of Babel shortly thereafter. The mainstream account of Native American history seems to have nothing to do with Genesis.<\/p>\n But the mainstream narrative is inherently weak. It fails to answer basic questions like, \u201cWhat was the greatest empire in pre-European North America? Who built it? When did it collapse, and why?\u201d If you grew up in the public schools, you probably never heard answers to these questions or even thought to ask them.<\/p>\n Into this void has stepped science grounded in Genesis 1\u201311. Creationists\u2014doing research based in Genesis\u2014have recently discovered answers to these North American history questions and are turning the origins debate upside down<\/em>.<\/p>\n What am I talking about? Let\u2019s ask the question anew: What was the greatest empire that ruled pre-European North America? Now that we\u2019ve asked this question, we\u2019re immediately confronted with more: How would we go about finding an answer? And why haven\u2019t the evolutionists found one? I\u2019ll tell you the answer to the latter: Evolutionists have had great difficulty connecting archaeological sites to names of tribes that we recognize from the time of European contact.<\/p>\n Can creationists do any better? In my previous article, I showed how Genesis-based science confirmed an indigenous migration history. This same migration account describes how the ancestors of the Delaware nation\u2014relatives of the Algonquians at the first Thanksgiving\u2014crossed the Great Plains and arrived at the Mississippi River in the early AD 1200s. There they encountered a formidable foe, the Talega who \u201cpossessed the east.\u201d1<\/p>\n The Algonquian nation first tried diplomacy with the Talegas. The latter massacred the Algonquians.<\/p>\n Who were these menacing guardians of the lands east of the Mississippi? Archaeology reveals an extensive culture who peaked in the AD 1200s east of the Mississippi. The name, however, the Mississippian culture, doesn\u2019t give us insights as to who built it.<\/p>\n Figure 1. Map of the growth of Mississippian culture.<\/p>\n But indigenous histories do. The Natchez nation has a migration account describing a migration north from Mexico. The extent of their empire sounds eerily familiar to the extent of the Mississippian culture. Long story short, the Natchez were the Talega. They were the Mound Builders who \u201cpossessed the east.\u201d The Natchez built the greatest empire in pre-European North America.<\/p>\n In the previous article, I took for granted that the Algonquians eventually made it past the Mississippi. I said that the Algonquians arrived in New England just a century and a half before the Pilgrims did. Here, I said they were massacred by the Natchez.<\/p>\n How did the Algonquians make it to New England? How did they circumvent their violent Natchez foes? If your guess is, maybe Genesis-based science will discover the answer<\/em>, kudos to you! Stay tuned for the answer in our next article!<\/p>\n For more history on the Natchez and their battle with the Algonquians, see They Had Names.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Does Genesis have anything to do with the pre-European history of North America?
