A chapter on America’s link with the sunken continent of Sundaland, according to the trail of rare genes.

America’s Euchee Indians, though now much diminished in numbers, claimed to be the oldest indigenous people in the Southeast. DNA Consultants was fortunate to test a sample for them and add it to the database containning profiles of 550 populations around the world. In the 2025 book Countercurrents of Prehistory, two of these Euchee descendants—Bill Bass and Holly McDaniel—are featured, along with their surprising DNA matches. The Euchee Indians, like others discussed in the book, appear to have originated with Austronesians, which came, in turn, from Island Southeast Asia, like the first Cherokees and Polynesians. The stamp of Austronesian and Polynesian culture is still visible in the archeology and anthropology of Southeastern U.S. Indians as well as the Indians who built the Ohio mounds. Austronesian has been called “the third element” in New World civilizations. 

The Mother of All Wars: Patriarchy against Matriarchy with Elisha Daeva. Based on the Writing of Teresa Panther-Yates.

An exploration of the Goddess as the Universal Mother and Queen of Heaven, drawing on the writing of Teresa Panther-Yates and read by Elisha Daeva. This episode follows Her presence across ancient cultures, sacred symbols, serpents, trees, visionary rites, Female wisdom and the long history of matriarchal traditions.

It examines how the Female divine was gradually silenced in patriarchal texts, how Her images survived in fragments of poetry, folklore, temples and ancient literature, and how the loss of the Goddess altered society, spirituality and our relationship with Nature. Listeners are invited to rediscover the hidden traces of the Goddess and the deep imbalance created when Her voice was removed from history and prehistory.

Scandinavians, Irish, Libyans and Iberians formed part of the ancient sea rovers who helped colonize North America and left their genes among the natives beginning about 1200 BCE. This is the third episode in our ongoing series titled “More Cherokee Descendants Who Proved the Geneticists Wrong."
