A civilization that became extinct 30,000 years ago...
Who were the first to colonize the Americas? Until a few years ago, it was believed that the first American culture was that of the Clovis, the ancestors of North America's indigenous people. Moreover, it was believed that humans did not reach that continent until about 14 thousand years ago. Thus, in this “reconstruction” of history, the first civilizations were those of North America, while the Aztecs, Mayas, and Incas arrived much later.
Recent discoveries, including DNA analysis, have highlighted how wrong archeology was once again. The first civilizations in the Americas were the peoples of Central and South America, at least 15,000 to 20,000 years earlier than previously thought. These peoples came by sea (yes, you read correctly, "By sea"), from Siberia and Sundaland (the continent that disappeared due to the melting, and which corresponds to present-day Indonesia and its surrounding islands).
In fact, around 2020, some researchers published results of the discovery of human remains in Chiquiwit Cave in Mexico. Excavations began in 2012. More extensive excavations were conducted in 2016 and 2017. The work was published in the journal Nature. What was found in the cave has completely revolutionized the opinion of archaeologists. The study presented by Cyprian Ardelin, an archaeologist at the Autonomous University of Zacatecas (Mexico), and colleagues suggests that people lived in central Mexico at least 26,500 years ago. “It takes centuries, or thousands of years, for people to cross Beringia and reach central Mexico,” the professor says. Later, he adds: “It takes many years of previous existence to get them there whether they come by sea or land.” This means that humans were likely in Central America long before 30,000 years ago.
But that's not all. Another research center has discovered that the indigenous people of Central and South America have not just one ancestor, but two. So to speak, they have a "mother people", identified as "Y people", the indigenous inhabitants of Sundaland from the distant past, at the time of the thaw. But they also have a “father people,” the Inupiat, who come from Siberia.
These discoveries radically revolutionize all archaeological beliefs about the past of the Americas. Who owned the oldest antiquities found in those lands at that time? Which civilization from the past was able to create a geopolymer high in the Andes? Who created the giant drawings of Nazca, and above all for what purpose? And above all: If people 30,000 years ago were able to travel from Australia to Central America, What prevented them from traveling from Central America to Egypt, as various evidence now indicates?
