Ancient America Rocked!
I do believe that a truer or should I say a more accurate history of Ancient America has not been completed yet, They are digging up older and older
settlements and some artifacts just don't seem to fit into the time line that has been so neatly laid out before us and that leads us in new
directions which in turn teaches us a new version of events and so on.
There is a lot of jungle that has yet to be explored and as with most archeological endeavors it's been mostly based on luck. For example look at
Caral Supe. Nobody thought to look in that area and it turned out to be one of the oldest in the new world. The question becomes was that the oldest?

Last December, Haas and Creamer again made headlines with a paper in Nature that presented carbon datings for 13 sites with platform mounds and
residential complexes in river valleys near Caral.
Some appeared to be even older than Caral, with dates as early as 3200 B.C. “It is now clear,” the couple wrote, that Caral and other Supe Valley
sites “were parts of a much more extensive cultural system that reached across at least three valleys and an area of 1,800 square kilometers.”
They called the region the Norte Chico, a colloquial term for the north-central coast of Peru. And they mentioned Shady only in their
footnotes.
One of the major problems with early Proto-civilizations is that many of them never needed to develop the wheel for example or even writing. Look at
ancient Egypt the very early periods, no wheel. Yet they developed and prospered.
In South America there is no real way to know just how many cultures flourished and then died out for various reasons and there could have been many
groups of mound builders.
These groups may have never developed writing nor used large stone blocks. The jungle could have reclaimed such locations and rain would have just
simply washed away the evidence of mud mounds and huts, what we are left with are simple stone carvings on wall surfaces such as what was found in
Brazil "The Ingá stone"
Inga Stone
The Ingá Stone (Pedra do Ingá in Portuguese) is located in near the small city of Ingá in the Paraíba State in the northeast of Brazil. The
Ingá Stone is also called Itacoatiara do Ingá. The word Itacoatiara means stone in the Tupi language of the natives that lived in that area. It is
composed of some basalt stones covered with symbols and glyphs undeciphered until now.
Most scholars think its origin is related to the natives that lived around until the 18th century, but there are also some people that defended an
extraterrestrial origin. Most glyphs represents animals, fruits, humans, constellations (including the Milk Way), and other unrecognizable
images.
And
El Fuerte
Bolivia
Not far away from Samaipata, one of the most important archeological monuments of pre-Columbian time in Bolivia can be found: El Fuerte (The
Fortress). This archeological place has been declared Cultural Patrimony of Humanity by UNESCO. This mysterious place has been given many hypothetical
explanations for its origins. It is supposed that El Fuerte is the work of the Amazonian pre-Incan 'Chané' culture, and later on was used as an
advanced city by the Incas and finally by the Spanish colonists that turned El Fuerte into a fortress.
El Fuerte near Samaipata from aside village near el fuerte El Fuerte is the largest carved stone in the world. This archaeological monument reaches
a height of 1.949 metres above sea level and is on the ridge of a hill of a sandy rock where ancient cultures sculptured figures but emphasized snakes
and pumas, as well as waterways and wells, triangular and rectangular seats, vaulted niches, among other details.
We know for example that these cultures flourished right up until the first Europeans in 1492 showed up in the new world and all the early explorers
stated that there were people everywhere all up and down the eastern coasts of North America the Caribbean and South America. We know that man was in
the Caribbean very early on
Ortoiroid people
The Ortoiroid people were the first human settlers of the Caribbean. They are believed to have originated in the Orinoco valley in South America,
migrating to the Antilles from Trinidad and Tobago to Puerto Rico.
Rouse theorizes that the Ortoiroid developed for a large amount of time in South America before moving to the West Indies.[1] The earliest
radiocarbon date for the Ortoiroid is 5230 BC from Trinidad; the latest date is 190 AD from Puerto Rico.
Even in North America if we traveled up the Mississippi at that time. We find Mound builders who were possibly contemporaries of the Aztec and maybe
even the Maya
Cahokia
Cahokia kəhoʊkiːə is the site of an ancient Native American city (650-1400 CE) near Collinsville, Illinois in the American Bottom floodplain,
across the Mississippi River from St. Louis, Missouri. The 2,200-acre (8.9 km2) site includes at least 109 man-made earthen mounds. Cahokia Mounds is
the largest archaeological site related to the Mississippian culture, which developed advanced societies in eastern North America centuries before the
arrival of Europeans.[1]
Cahokia was settled around 650 CE during the Late Woodland period. Mound building did not begin until about 1050 CE, at the beginning of the
Mississippian cultural period. The inhabitants left no written records beyond symbols on pottery, shell, copper, wood, and stone.[4]. The city's
original name is unknown.
