I don't know; if memory serves, the internet articles outlined some specific political stresses creating this particular Tibetan refugee stream (circa 500-700 CE maybe?), but I do not recall much more than that. Presumably this would be quite some time after the Bering land- strait had disappeared. > All very thought-provoking, Rory; thanks again. My pleasure, Judy! If you're interested in this sort of thing, I strongly recommend "America BC," "Bronze-Age America," and "Saga America" by Barry Fell, as well as "Sailing to Paradise" by Jim Bailey (lots of mineralogical data on the prehistoric global sailing culture), "Hamlet's Mill" by de Santillana and Von Dechen (abundant material on the precession of the equinoxes, myth, astronomy and prehistoric global science).
