Archaeologists: Ice Age child discovered was “loved”; What will they someday say about remains of American children discovered?
I sometimes think about the fact that someday archeologists will discover the ruins of America’s ghastly abortion mills and be horrified by how we killed our children, and to what extent.
Juxtapose that with the following ADN.com story, currently featured on Drudge. Click photo to enlarge….
The level of respect given to this one child is interesting. Also interesting is how Alaskan Native Americans want this child respected and appear hopeful the circumstances surrounding his or her death bode positively for their ancestry. Meanwhile, Americans – including Alaskans – kill 3,300 babies a day via abortion…
Fairbanks researchers say they’ve uncovered the oldest cremated human remains ever discovered in northern North America at a site near the Tanana River in central Alaska.
The 3-yr-old is only the second Ice Age child discovered on the continent….
Archaeologists discovered the remains in a fire pit in an abandoned living area from 13,200 years ago and dated the child’s death to about 11,500 years ago….
Interior Alaska Native groups are working with UAF to learn more about the child’s story….
Healy Lake Traditional Council Chief Joann Polston said she wanted to know everything she could about the child.
Reports to media by other archaeologists that the remains indicated cannibalism are false, Potter said, because no food debris or other trash was found above or on top of the child.
It’s difficult to attempt to get inside the heads of the ancient humans, but Potter thinks the circumstances of the child’s burial and the subsequent abandoning of the living area points to the emotions of the house’s inhabitants.
“I do think that a reasonable interpretation of that would be that they cared for the child and the child was important to them,” Potter said….
Out of respect for the Native name, Potter said his team has not used any nicknames to describe the child.
“The way I do archaeology, I think of what I would want if my child was excavated in the future, you know, 10,000 years from now, and respectful considerate actions by the scientists and by everyone I think would be what I would want,” Potter said. “In this, the Native community and the scientists were in agreement that we want to continue the respect that we have for the remains, and the fact that this was a child that someone loved.”

Yes, a stark contrast with the dumpsters behind Hodari’s killing centers or Tiller’s oven which belched large flakes of ash out the stack and on to passersby – the only physical evidence remaining of a young life filled with hope and promise barbarically butchered in a savage attack.
Wait a minute, I seem to remember that some of Tiller’s mothers elected to participate in some sick, twisted ritual of feigning love for the child they just killed by spending a few minutes holding their lifeless body – as if it was a tragedy that couldn’t be avoided and not their own heartless cruel deed. “I’m sorry for having to kill you sweetheart. I just didn’t have time in my life for you right now. You know, places to go, people to see…”
My condolences and Heartfelt mercies go out to post-abortive moms that were deceived into committing this unthinkable act. “It’s just a blob of tissue”, etc., etc. We have all done things we terribly regret. These make the Love and Mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ all that much more precious.
We must continue to pound the truth. We must be adamant. We must be bold.
When will the killing stop?
When the Church in America wakes up, rises up in the authority delegated to her by the Lord Jesus Christ and makes it stop.
Regarding the ADN story:
Rather than showing recognition of the child’s intrinsic value, there’s the implication that the child accrued value because he or she was loved by others.
I’m completely playing devil’s advocate with this info but I’m bothered with this article being used to show the difference between Alaskan Native Americans and people supporting abortions today. “Eskimos” have been associated with senilicide, invalidicide, and infanticide.
I’m not as optimistic regarding the direction that humanity is heading. Look at any European nation besides Ireland and you’ll see a callous disregard for unborn life. The whole world is moving in the direction of considering the interests of the born-and-walking-around as eclipsing those of the growing-in-the-womb, and even in this country, you’d be hard-pressed to get popular support anywhere for protecting those whose stem cells are harvested. As the world gets more and more integrated, our country’s culture gets less and less isolated. Assuming that the current trajectory continues for thousands of years and that a future civilization were to dig up the remains of an abortion clinic’s “medical waste,” I’d have to predict that they would think something more along the lines of “oh, an enlightened society like us; not tied down by some silly belief that fetuses have souls.” Perhaps they will compare them to the future organ farms to which women are highly paid for contributing “flawless specimens”–healthy fetuses aborted just for such a place–such as those used to create some of the vaccines, as mentioned in a previous post on this website.
