  • Everyone who has been through an American public school knows the story of Plymouth Rock, the legendary first piece of dry land the Pilgrims stepped on after their long and arduous Mayflower journey across the Atlantic. As the place where our first English immigrants encountered and stood on the area that would become part of New England, the rock is a famous artifact on its own. You can even see it today in Plymouth, as it is a major tourist attraction for the town. But, the Mayflower landed in 1620. After 403 years, how can we be sure that the rock on display in Plymouth is the actual one upon which the Pilgrims first stood?
    Here's what you need to know about the history of Plymouth Rock.

The only problem is I love the wester US so much and want to see so many places in the west I feel like I may go east and be disappointed only to realized I spent all my money and time for no good reason and could have spent it out west.

      Really? That’s hard to believe. Cause all Americans are now 1/16 or 1/8 Native American. I feel like it’s a lie that people say to actually feel that they’re connected to the land or be historical in American history. Cause so many people have told me their family members came from Mayflower. I live in Washington State. The chances are much slimmer. I believe you believe it but I think you’ve been lied too but I don’t think your grandfather was lying either or some of his parents but sometime before in the last 300 years that lie came up or miscommunication

      The stock of Americans that built the body politic of America are disproportionately descended from these Europeans, so it matters to them. And they accomplished a lot and created the country so it should at least be mildly interesting to anyone

    How come it’s still visible if sea levels are rising?

    • @Ancestralfindings
      @Ancestralfindings  Před 3 měsíci

      Great question! Plymouth Rock is indeed close to the ocean, but it's protected by a structure designed to shield it from direct sea impact. The rate of sea-level rise can also vary, and in this particular location, protective measures help preserve the landmark. It’s fascinating how historical sites are maintained in the face of environmental changes, isn’t it?

    • @willmoneymaker
      @willmoneymaker Před 3 měsíci

      The discussion around sea levels and their impact is indeed complex and can vary by location. While there are reports and scientific studies showing rising sea levels globally, local factors can influence specific areas differently. Investments in coastal properties, like the one you mentioned, often consider many variables including local protections and long-term forecasts. It’s an interesting and important debate, and staying informed from a variety of sources can provide a fuller picture of these environmental issues.
