Traditional history tells us that European settlers discovered America about the time of the Renaissance. But revolutionary new archaeological data and the latest DNA research reveal that Europeans visited our shores far earlier  some 17,000 years before Columbus was even born. Filmed in glorious high definition, this two-hour, epic drama follows an intrepid family of stone age hunters as they trek from their homeland in southwestern France, cross 3,000 miles of ocean and eventually make their first permanent settlement in what is today the northeastern U.S.

Along the way, they overcome starvation and storms with the help of a revolutionary weapons technology they would later bequeath to the native peoples of the Americas. But awaiting the pioneers’ arrival is a stark, empty continent, filled with a plethora of bizarre and lethal animals all brought to life by brilliant computer animation. Firmly rooted in the latest scientific discoveries, it’s a compelling vision of the greatest migration in human history.

      She is 27. They didn’t age ‘gracefully’ either.

    These Archaeologists sure like their Gothic Cathedrals built on foundations of cobwebs and moonshine, don’t they.  Entertaining though.

      That’s because in this case, there are no prehistoric remains of Africans discovered in the Americas (to date). It has nothing to do with anyone trying to take credit, but evidence based on Clovis artifacts which are also found in eastern Asia and Europe. Why start spewing your racism which is every bit as disgusting as the KKK, and I’m sure you are a better person than that. As Honest1963 pointed out, “We all come from Africa my friend”. Peace x

    one spearhead placed strategically does not allow us to rewrite history. This is just another ploy to displace Aboriginal people in history. This is all this constitutes, period!

    What a ridiculous waste of resources. History Channel, Discovery Channel, and others should stop this kind of higly speculative nonsense. No wonder people are lacking so  much in general knowledge.

      The only reason to watch this…unless you have an internet connection, in which case, you can see tons of hot babes.

    If you want to make a movie, make a movie.  If you want to make a documentary, make a documentary.
    This is just silly.  There’s like a dozen able bodied men, and only three go hunting, while the others sit on the ground acting grumpy.  If this is the producers’ sense of what it must have been like, there’s really no reason to continue watching.

    This sounds more like a fairy tale. Where is the DNA evidence?

    This film just left me cold and without any seal oil to start a fire to warm me up. This way of living is so similar to the lifestyle of the Inuit and Aleut Aboriginal cultures of a few hundred years ago, I just found it difficult to relate the story going back to thousands of years ago, as they were trying to portray…Crossing the Atlantic on the ice seems like a virtually impossible feat, even with the knowledge of catching fish and hunting seals that seemed to not have changed for thousand of years. It’s a very interesting concept and I’m well aware that seal meat will provide the protein, vitiamines and minerals to systain life, but crossing the Atlantic, on the ice and a canoe?…it’s a bit hard to swallow, but interesting idea, none the less.
