Native Americans Hunted This Ice Age MONSTER… Was It the Daeodon?

Our movie “Out of Babel” (www.outofbabel.com) features Thunderbird accounts from 33 Native American tribes and “Furless Bear” accounts from eight. Yes, thunderbirds and giant bears became part of Native American mythology and storytelling. But what happens when you go back and read the actual accounts recorded from Native Americans by European historians in the 17th and 18th centuries? You discover something fascinating. Across dozens of accounts, Native Americans described much more than myths about these creatures. They reported encounters with them. They feared them. They fought them. They killed them. Could these powerful legends have originated with encounters involving real Ice Age creatures—such as giant teratorn birds and entelodonts like Daeodon? This video describes the evidence that Native Americans lived with Thunderbirds and the “Furless” or “Naked” Bear (and reported burying the last one along the Hudson river before 1790.

Researchers reported mastodon bones associated with stones interpreted as tools and dated the site to about 130,000 years ago—far earlier than the conventional timeline for humans in North America. What happens when we put the historical accounts and fossil evidence together? In “Out of Babel,” we explore how evidence like this may connect with the history recorded in Genesis—including the Flood, the dispersion from Babel, and a creation measured in thousands rather than millions of years. Don’t just take our word for it. Examine the evidence for yourself. Watch “Out of Babel” at www.outofbabel.com.
