The origin of the American man: the enigma of Pedra Furada
The scientific theory initially accepted to explain the arrival of man in America is based on the idea that groups of Homo Sapiens entered the New World through the lands of Beringia, in a period between 14 and 10 thousand years ago. What is now the Bering Strait, between Asia and North America, was once a snowy plain, precisely because sea levels were lower than they are today, due to ongoing glaciation. Those groups of Sapiens, perhaps chasing herds of animals or searching for new lands, crossed Beringia and thus entered the New World. Some of them passed through the so-called “ice-free corridor”, others marched along the coast of North...

The origin of the Olmecs
Ancient nomadic populations from the Neolithic found fertile places with a temperate climate in some areas of central Mexico and along the coast of the Caribbean Sea. Around 3000 BC, these groups of hunters and gatherers slowly transformed into farmers and their societies became sedentary, where the importance of the division of labor and elites grew more and more. Therefore, in the central area of ​​Mexico and on the southern coast of the Caribbean Sea, embryos of towns began to form, each of which was governed by lords who belonged to the upper classes, who had access to innovations and Above all, they were the intermediaries between th...

The mysteries of Teotihuacán
The archaeological zone of Teotihuacán, located approximately 40 kilometers northeast of Mexico City, was the scene, in 1520, of a bloody battle (Otumba). In that place, very different from how it is now, Hernán Cortés' army defeated thousands of Aztec soldiers, under the command of the new emperor Cuitlàhuac. In that place there were some mounds that looked like hills. In reality, they were the majestic pyramids of Teotihuacán, built more than a thousand years ago by a mysterious people, hidden underground, sediments and bushes that were formed in more than ten centuries of abandonment. The Pyramid of the Sun is grandiose: with a per...

The enigma of the Pusharo petroglyphs, the most important in the Amazon
My trip to the Pusharo petroglyphs took place in 2008. The main objective was to closely analyze one of the most important petroglyphs in the world, both for complexity and grandeur, and thus deepen the study of Amazonian ethnic groups that traveled through the area in times dating back to the Mesolithic, when the climate in the Amazon was different from today. The trip began in the small town of Atalaya, on the banks of the Alto Madre de Dios River, from where, in the company of my friend Fernando Rivera Huanca, I embarked on a motor boat bound for Lactapampa (department of Madre de Dios). The next day we went up the Palotoa and slept in...
