The Thule (modern-day Inuit) People arrived in Alaska in A.D 500. Did they use the Bering Land Bridge?

And does this land bridge still exist today?





Awarding best answer.|||A look at any map will clearly show that such a land bridge doesn't exist today. Geologists suggest that a land bridge existed 10,000 years ago, so that indicates it probably did not exist 2,500 years ago. In that case, the Thule must have used kayaks or other boats.|||LOL, is this a joke or are you some sort of conspiracy nut?|||No, due to the toll.|||Geologists speculate that the land bridge between Alaska and Asia disappeared when the Ice Age ended about 10,000 years ago. As the massive amounts of water that had been frozen in glaciers covering the northern reaches of the planet melted, the level of the earth's oceans rose dramatically, covering the land bridge. Traveling from Siberia to Alaska in AD 500 would have been done by boat.
