The continuation of the Smithsonian/main stream accademia's REFUSAL to acknowledge Connor's work, and insist on "no metallurgy" among ancient Native American peoples, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Copper_Complex#cite_ref-2 ]

"The evidence of smelting or alloying that has been found is subject to some dispute... Artifacts from some of these sites have been dated from 4000 to 1000 BCE. Furthermore, some archaeologists find artifactual and structural evidence of casting by Hopewellian and Mississippian peoples to be demonstrated in the archaeological record..." -

Even after J.S. Wakefield's sensational paper "Shipping of Michigan Copper across the Atlantic in the Bronze Age (Isle Royale and Keweenaw Peninsula, c. 2400BC-1200 BC)" [https://grahamhancock.com/wakefieldjs1/] - where we have both chemical analysis and written shipping records/drawing and historical accounts of copper ingots of a particular shape being traded in the Mediterranean sea...

Second Witness...

I have personally seen both a 10" inch stainless steel mirror, dug out of the ruins at Kaminaljuyu, in Guatemala City, and on display in the Museo Nacional de Arqueología y Etnología AND a child's clay scimitar [cimeter] sword in the USA Museum of the Native American Indian in Wahington D.C.

My last "P-Day" while serving as a Missionary for the LDS chruch in Guatemala, ~June 1988

Petronio Jaramillo, ~17 "saw" the cave which had "a huge library of metal books, stacked on shelves" (~1946)

"Tenian hachuelas de cierto metal y desta hechura las quales encaxaban en un astil de palo, y les servia de armas y vueltas de labrar madera. Davanle filo con una piedra á porrazos, que es el metal blando. Tenian lanQuelas cortas de un estado con los hierros de fuerte pedernal, y no tenian mas armas que estas."

"They had axes of a certain metal and of this workmanship which they put on a wooden pole, and they were used as weapons and turns for carving wood. They cut it with a stone with blows, which is the soft metal. They had the short lanquelas of a state with the irons of strong flint, and they had no other weapons than these."
