BOISE — A hiker stumbled upon a really old piece of Idaho history in Hells Canyon. Now, archaeologists know just how old it is. It dates back centuries.

“We know that people have lived in Idaho for at least 130 centuries,” said State Archaeologist Dr. Ken Reid.

And those people left evidence of their lives. Their artwork in the form of petroglyphs and pictographs decorates the rocks and cliffs in Hells Canyon. Their house pits sit in neighborhoods along the banks of the Snake River.

Hells Canyon is beautiful. It’s also rich in history.

“There’s an intact outdoor museum really of Idaho’s past that survives,” said Dr. Reid.

A hiker found part of that surviving past under a rock pile under a rock ledge made by a huge boulder.

“It was a perfect place to get some shade on a hot hike down the Snake River Trail,” Reid said.

In March of 2008, the hiker found a cache of Nez Perce textiles made of cedar bark. Idaho State Archaeologist Dr. Ken Reid and a team of researchers excavated the site. Reid believes the materials would have been woven into a mat or basket. His theory is that a Nez Perce woman placed the bundle under the stones for safekeeping.

      If I were to speculate about the story behind the artifact found in Hells Canyon, I wouldn’t assume a woman left it for safe keeping. Possibly a man wove the textile and it was used as a carrying bag for weapons. Possibly it was made by man and the culture was not as gender specific as our culture is today…

      Since Before Its News really must be having a problem getting vital information out and is unable to live up to its objective (for whatever reason, political?), here’s the latest and greatest on the wonderful activities of NATO in Libya. They are destroying the water supply system and the factories that support the system. All thanks to F UK USA.

      I hate america! Point blank. Lies, lies, and more lies. And a population that thinks they are above everyone, when they all live on money that isn’t even theirs. CREDIT. It could be pretty funny to watch it default and see all these people living beyond their means go broke. Lose all their unpaid for shit. I have GREAT credit, also am American and do you know how many LOANS i have?? 0! You know how many things I have that are unpaid for? 0! I was raised properly, to live within your means. I will survive, I will make it just fine. (90% of this POS population will suffer. i regret the fact that is brough upon themselves. Well deserved in more harsh words!

      So you hate America (that’s with a capital A)?
      Sounds like you could be our next president.
      I suggest you might find more agreeable environs elsewhere friend.
