Such discoveries have sparked discussions about the possibility that people traveled from Asia to North America along the coast, perhaps using boats. The "land bridge" (a vast area now usually called Beringia) became available several times in the last 70,000 years due to huge drops in sea level during the Ice Age. http://www.washington.edu/burkemuseum/kman/ancientpeoples.htm      The Bering Strait Myth - Issues of Native Circle still is, the political power of the infamous 'Bering Strait theory'.

Now it may be that there were other people upon the land, whose ancestors had been brought to the continent by the Lord (even across the Bering Strait, for all we know), but they were not powerful or organized enough--at least in Mesoamerica--to pose any sort of threat to Lehi's descendants. Out of all the peoples that could have crossed the Bering Strait, many of whom were closer than the Altaians, why did just this one small group become the alleged primary founders of New World?

The Bering Strait Project: Symposium provides a tantalising set of perspectives - from an eclectic gathering of authors - on an endeavour that remains among the greatest challenges in history: uniting the continents across the Bering Stait.

Berliner, III's Bering Strait Tunnel Page When then-Governor Clinton of Arkansas was first running for the Presidency, I sent (28 Sep 92) a proposal for a Bering Strait Tunnel to the Clinton for President headquarters in Little Rock, which he or his staff ignored (of course). I re-sent it on 09 Mar 1993 when President Clinton was about to meet in Vancouver with Russian President Yeltsin and Canadian Prime Minister Mulroney (again it was ignored). The North America and Asian plate boundary does not run under the straits, but rather it runs about 500 miles to the west (the fault is apparently a transverse fault, though it isn't as well defined as other similar faults due to the remoteness of the location in which it is in). http://home.att.net/~Berliner-Ultrasonics/strunnel.html      WashingtonPost.com: Find May Rewrite Americas' Prehistory The accepted theory is that restless prehistoric peoples from northeastern Asia managed to migrate into Alaska when global cooling trapped ocean water in glaciers, thus lowering the sea level and exposing enough of the Bering Strait sea floor to provide a land bridge. Alternatively, many experts speculate, the early Asian immigrants may not have traveled by land at all. This hypothesis also requires that there have been an ice-free corridor -- formed between two retreating ice masses -- that would have allowed the first New World humans to survive a trek southward through the Yukon. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/inatl/americas/feb/17/artifact.htm      Alaskool - Many Tongues, Ancient Tales This grouping does not imply any claims of genetic relationship but rather emphasizes that these languages are relics of families much more ancient to the Soviet Far East than the Tungusic and Turkic, which expanded more recently into it from the south and west. Of the movements of languages into America, a most recent theory (Greenberg 1987) is that all but Na-Dene and Eskimo-Aleut belong to a single family called Amerind that came to America 12,000 to 15,000 years ago. In fact, in the Beringian area from about 1850, and on the Asiatic as well as American side of the strait into the 1920s, the dominant contact language was English, first from the Franklin search expeditions and later from American whalers and traders. http://www.alaskool.org/language/manytongues/ManyTongues.html      UMass geologist leads team probing Bering Land Bridge The science team recently returned from the Bering Sea but will reoccupy the ship Aug. 26-Sept. 17 for work in the Chukchi Sea.

The Bering Strait, a relatively shallow body of water between Russia and Alaska, partially dried up in some of these periods, producing a vast stretch of land that united the two continents and was home to a wide range of cold-adapted animals and, at some periods, human beings. This coastal land, now below the surface of the ocean, were home to populations of plants and animals, and in the normal course of their lives they came to be distributed over wide areas, some of which, when the waters rose again, were bodies of land that are separated by water today. http://weber.ucsd.edu/~dkjordan/arch/beringia.html      WWW Irkutsk: Famous people of Irkutsk Shelikhov is called "the Russian Columbus."
