Swamp Mammoth (S02E11)

S02E11

In Florida, Scott Wolter delves into the enigma of the Windover Bog People, a group of early settlers in the Sunshine State. As he examines the remarkably preserved remains, Scott uncovers unusual traits that hint at a possible European origin. If true, this would imply that European explorers reached America around 7,000 years ago. However, the plot thickens when Scott discovers evidence suggesting that the Solutreans, a group of Europeans, may have arrived even earlier, predating the Clovis people, who were previously thought to be the first settlers via the Bering Strait. A critical piece of this puzzle might lie in a small mammoth carving, estimated to be 13,000 years old, found near Vero Beach, Florida.
