Who were the first colonizers of the Americas

 

 Until a few years ago, it was believed that the first American culture was that of the Clovis, the ancestors of the Natives of North America. Furthermore, humans were thought to have arrived on that continent no earlier than about 14,000 years ago. Therefore, in this "reconstruction" of history, the first civilizations would have been the North American ones, while the Aztecs, Maya and Incas would have arrived much later.

Recent discoveries, including DNA analysis, have highlighted how archeology was once again wrong. The first civilizations of the Americas were those of the peoples of Central and South America, dating back at least 15,000 - 20,000 years earlier than previously believed. And these populations arrived BY SEA (yes, you read correctly, "by sea"), from Siberia and Sundaland (the continent that disappeared due to the thaw, which corresponds to present-day Indonesia and surrounding islands).

In fact, around 2020, some researchers published the results of the discovery of human remains in the Chiquihuite cave, Mexico. The excavations, which began in 2012 and continued in 2016 and 2017, were published in the journal Nature. What was found in the cave completely revolutionized the opinion of archaeologists. The study, presented by Ciprian Ardelean, an archaeologist at the Autonomous University of Zacatecas (Mexico), and his colleagues, suggests that people lived in central Mexico at least 26,500 years ago. The professor states: "It takes centuries, or millennia, to cross Beringia and arrive in central Mexico." And he adds: "It takes a long prior presence to get them there, whether they arrived by sea or land." This means that humans were probably in Central America well before 30,000 years ago.

But that's not all. Another research center has discovered that the native populations of Central and South America do not have just one ancestor, but two. So to speak, they have a "mother people", identified as "people Y", who are the original inhabitants of Sundaland from the time of the thaw. But they also have a "father people", who are the Iñupiat, coming from Siberia.

These discoveries fundamentally revolutionize all archaeological beliefs about the past of the Americas. Who then owned the oldest ruins found in those lands? Which civilization in the past was capable of creating geopolymers at the top of the Andes? Who created the gigantic drawings of Nazca and above all for what purpose? And above all: if 30,000 years ago people were able to travel from Australia to Central America, what stopped them from going from Central America to Egypt, as various evidence now seems to indicate?
