I have one conspiracy theory that explains the large skeletons found buried in the Mound country of Ohio and may explain the distrust of BF for humans. . The large possible BF skeletons were buried in a manner that suggests that they had fought alongside the NA in the Mound Culture against a common enemy. The enemy might have been the Mayans that had pushed North. Mayans kill or enslave their enemies. While the Mound NA may have been conquered and enslaved, I cannot imagine the small Mayan warriors enslaving BF. It is likely BF scattered until the Mayans withdrew and went back south. Could it be that the Mayan invasion is part of the BF oral history and reason for distrust of humans?
I find it incredible that US archaeologists will travel to South America or Egypt to study their cultures when the Mound Culture has been largely ignored. It seems to me that the Smithsonian started examining the Mound Culture in the 1800s then found something that really bothered them. I suspect conflicts with religious beliefs which were prevalent at the time. The problem could even have been the presumed BF skeletons found buried in the area. Anytime those have been found, the Smithsonian shows up, boxes the find, and they disappear., with the Smithsonian claiming they were not collected.
