250,000-year-old tools in Mexico?! | Hueyatlaco mystery

(Awakened Epochs) What if humans arrived in the Americas not 12,000 years ago but 250,000 years ago? This is the forbidden story of Hueyatlaco, a Mesoamerican archeological site in central Mexico that mainstream history tried to erase.

Discovered in the 1960s and excavated by Smithsonian-backed archeologists, Hueyatlaco revealed stone tools buried beneath volcanic ash dated between 250,000 and 800,000 years old.

When scientists published their results, careers were destroyed, artifacts were confiscated and vanished, and armed men shut down the dig and hounded the participants.

From vanished bones displayed at the Smithsonian, to uranium-series dating, diatom analysis, and eyewitness accounts of suppression, this case challenges everything we think we know about the ancient peopling of the Americas.

Could humans or something like humans, have been in Mexico long before Homo sapiens sapiens supposedly left Africa? Or was this prehistory deliberately buried?

Watch as Awakened Epochs uncovers one of the most controversial and important archeological enigmas of all time.

Southern California 20K years ago: Ice Age

The Ice Age secrets hiding beneath California

Native Californians and their kizh houses

(Voyager) June 7, 2025: CALIFORNIA. What’s hiding beneath California? This Ice Age deep-dive reveals fossils, lost megafauna (large animals), ancient humans (Natives), and the land before cities.

The paleobiota of the LA Tar Pits

Today, we journey back to a California few ever imagine, an ancient landscape buried beneath our cities, beaches, and freeways. Long before San Diego’s skyline rose or La Jolla’s cliffs drew surfers, this land was ruled by Columbian mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and early humans (pre-Clovis) who braved a world still shaped by ice. From submerged Kumeyaay village sites to fossil-filled tar pits and coastal cliffs hiding prehistoric secrets, this is the untold story of Ice Age California.

Human origins in Turkey, Europe?

8.7-million-year-old skull just discovered in Turkey rewrites history!

These are my ancestors, the hominines

(Discovery Future) A groundbreaking discovery in Turkey (Türkiye) is challenging the long-held belief that humans and great apes evolved exclusively in Africa.

Meet Anadoluvius turkae, an 8.7-million-year-old fossil that has sparked a bold hypothesis: The evolutionary lineage leading to humans — known as hominines — may have originated in Europe before migrating to Africa.

• Out of Africa? Everyone descended from Eve of Africa? Hello, Gobekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe, cradles of civilization, 2023 in paleomammalogy
• Skull of 8.7-million-year-old ape found in Turkey suggests our ancestors evolved in Europe and NOT Africa, study claims | Daily Mail Online

Cuvier at Paleontology Museum

Unearthed from the Çorakyerler fossil site in northern Turkey (central Anatolia), this remarkably well-preserved partial cranium sheds new light on our evolutionary past.

Scientists believe that Anadoluvius turkae lived in dry forest environments alongside animals like giraffes, zebras, and lion-like predators, many of which later migrated to Africa.

The implications are profound. If true, this discovery suggests that hominines evolved and diversified in Europe for over 5,000,000 (five million) years before spreading to the eastern Mediterranean and eventually moving into Africa.

This challenges the traditional "Out of Africa" narrative and rekindles debates about where our earliest ancestors first emerged.

Join us as we explore the fascinating story of Anadoluvius turkae, delve into the broader context of primate evolution, and examine the shifting environments that may have driven these migrations.

What does this mean for our understanding of human origins? And what mysteries still await beneath the earth?

First modern Brits were 'dark to black'

Still, we wasn't as dark as the swarthy Irish, Mate. Thems is black. We be the fair ones.

DNA analysis of Britain's 10,000-year-old complete skeleton reveals first modern Britons dad 'dark to black' skin

ETs must hybridized us something wicked.

In findings that knocked the wind out of long-held assumptions about early British inhabitants, DNA analysis of Britain's oldest complete skeleton proved the first modern Britons who lived about 10,000 years ago had "dark to black" skin, according to the BBC.

The ancient skeleton, known as Cheddar Man, was discovered in 1903 in Somerset's Gough's Cave and gave scientists a glimpse into Britain's prehistoric past.

Were Neanderthals pale white or very dark?

Researchers from the Natural History Museum and University College London extracted DNA by drilling a tiny 2 mm hole in the ancient skull.

"It really shows up that these imaginary racial categories that we have are really very modern constructions, or very recent constructions, that really are not applicable to the past at all," said Tom Booth, an archaeologist at the Natural History Museum, who worked on the project, according to The Guardian.

We Brits were right savages then, unlike now.

The analysis painted this ancient Briton in vivid detail: a hunter-gatherer with blue eyes, dark curly hair [just like the historical Buddha, who was Central Asian and had curly black hair, Eurasian blue eyes, and golden skin], and a complexion that was "dark to black" [though the Buddha had a fair complexion, records show].

This combination of features — though startling to the modern observer — was common in Western Europe during this period.

Cheddar Man's ancestors had migrated out of Africa via the Middle East, eventually crossing Doggerland, the ancient land bridge connecting Britain to continental Europe, stated the BBC. Open the YouTube video

Prof. Chris Stringer, who studied the Cheddar Man skeleton for four decades, was astonished with the reconstruction:

"To come face-to-face with what this guy could have looked like -- and that striking combination of the hair, the face, the eye color, and that dark skin: something a few years ago we couldn't have imagined and yet that's what the scientific data show," he said, according to the BBC.

These findings represent a surprise to many because genes that confer light skin only began to spread through European populations much later than scientists assumed.

Pale skin, scientists now propose, evolved in farming populations of Europe about 6,000 years ago, possibly as an adaptation to help the skin synthesize Vitamin D from the sun more efficiently. More

American discovers Mayan city in Mexico

(ABC News Australia) A doctoral student has unexpectedly uncovered a lost Mayan city hidden under the jungle canopy in Mexico, examining data from advanced laser light scanning system called LiDAR. Tulane University’s Luke Auld-Thomas says his team found over 6,000 [the BBC and others report 7,000] buildings and structures that resemble pyramids, palaces, reservoirs, sports fields, and causeways in the abandoned metropolis US researchers have dubbed "Valeriana."

Ancient Mayan city discovered in Mexico jungle by accident | BBC News

(BBC News) Oct. 29, 2024: A huge Mayan city has been discovered centuries after it disappeared under jungle canopy in Mexico. Archeologists found pyramids, sports fields, causeways [giant roads] connecting districts, and amphitheaters in the southeastern Mexican state of Campeche. The hidden complex -- which they have called Valeriana -- is believed to be second in density only to Calakmul, thought to be the largest Maya site in ancient Latin America. The team discovered three sites in total, which are the size of Scotland's capital Edinburgh, “by accident” when one archeologist browsed data on the internet.

Archeology breakthrough as US student discovers huge Mayan city in Mexico by accident

Mexico is an ancient empire

CAMPECHE, Mexico - A student has discovered a huge Mayan city centuries after it disappeared in a Mexican jungle by accident.

American Luke Auld-Thomas, a Ph.D. student at Tulane University in New Orleans, USA, was analyzing publicly available data when he found the buried world, which has since been named “Valeriana.”

The hidden city was discovered using LiDAR, a remote sensing method that is used to examine the surface of the earth [with ground-penetrating radar to see through the foliage]. Archeologists use the technology to try and identify previously unrecorded sites.

As these surveys are normally quite expensive to conduct, researchers need to prioritize areas where Mayan settlements are already known to exist.

However, Auld-Thomas and his team realized they could use data from a 2013 LiDAR survey initially commissioned for monitoring carbon levels in Mexican forests.

“I was on something like Page 16 of Google Search and found a laser survey done by a Mexican organization for environmental monitoring,” Auld-Thomas told the BBC. More

"Lost Maya city Valeriana discovered in Mexico: Ancient pyramids and culture explored"

(Explore Wonders) Premiered Oct. 29, 2024: Discover the lost Maya city Valeriana, recently unearthed in the jungles of Campeche, Mexico. This incredible archeological find features ancient pyramids, sports fields, and complex urban planning that reveals the rich history and culture of the Maya civilization.

This video explores: How the accidental discovery was made by future archeologist Luke Auld-Thomas using advanced LiDAR ("light detecting and ranging") technology. The significance of Valeriana is reshaping our understanding of Maya urban life and its role as a major civilization center.

Impressive architectural features include pyramid temples, plazas, and ancient ball courts, giving us insights into how this discovery changes our view of ancient societies and their responses to climate change and environmental challenges.

Valeriana challenges the idea that tropical regions were inhospitable to ancient civilizations. This discovery highlights the complexity and sophistication of Maya culture.

• Lost Maya city discovered next to highway: Farmers were working among ruins for years
• Found dataset reveals lost Maya city full of pyramids and plazas hiding in plain sight beneath a Mexican forest: The study findings contribute to a growing recognition that tropical regions, far from being pristine wildernesses in the past, were home to sophisticated urban societies. Similar patterns of extensive landscape modification have been found at other tropical sites worldwide, including Buddhist Cambodia's Angkor Wat and recently discovered settlements in the Amazon. This research demonstrates that the Maya did more than build isolated cities they created entire urbanized landscapes that supported large populations through complex engineering and agricultural practices. By analyzing LiDAR data originally collected for environmental monitoring, researchers can now survey vast areas quickly and in unprecedented detail, revealing ancient landscapes that have been hidden by centuries of forest growth.

What's hidden under Mexico City? (video)

Hunter gatherers built fortified settlements?

Sure, modern humans had sex with Neanderthals, but only for a very brief time.

Fortified settlement close to Amnya River likely provided resources (Nikita Golovanov).

.

Siberian Jesus: Vissarion (MSN)

A hunter-gatherer society in Siberia built one of the oldest fortified settlements 8,000 years ago. The fortress defies expectations because it's one of the oldest found that hunter-gatherers built.

• Hunters and gatherers are wanderers who don't settle down and protect settlements like ranchers and farmers who make war to protect the property they claim. They go about in search of food, living off the land.

Siberians of the past, the Ket: men and children of the Yenisei Ostiaks (wiki)

The inhabitants likely had access to abundant fish and game they may have wanted to protect. A cluster of houses protected by trenches, earthen banks, and wooden stakes baffled archaeologists for decades. 

The settlement dates to the Stone Age, a time researchers once considered too unsophisticated for such structures. Originally, archaeologists believed similar settlements were only about 3,000 years old, Archaeology magazine reported.

But radiocarbon dating from the 1980s showed one was thousands of years older, when hunter-gatherers lived in the taiga, a cold, subarctic forest.

The result was so surprising that some of the researchers doubted their work, archaeologist Tanja Schreiber told Archaeology magazine.

Schreiber and other scientists recently retested objects and mud deposits from the site to confirm the age of a settlement near the Amnya River in western Siberia. They published their findings in the peer-reviewed journal Antiquity.

The Neolithic settlement is one of the oldest known fortified structures in the world and was constructed hundreds of years earlier than most other similar structures.

These types of defensive fortifications are usually associated with agricultural societies. Researchers long considered more mobile hunter-gatherers incapable of building such sophisticated structures.

A strategic location near the river

Hunter-gatherers occasionally built fortifications in other parts of the world, "but the very early onset of this phenomenon in inland western Siberia is unparalleled," the authors wrote in the paper.

While there are older Stone Age settlements in other parts of the world, like the Göbekli Tepe in Turkey which is estimated to be 12,000 years old, the Siberian settlement is about 2,000 years older than similar structures in Europe, according to Vice.

The settlement's strategic location allowed its residents to lead "a sophisticated lifestyle based on the abundant resources of the taiga environment," Schreiber said in a statement.

The inhabitants may have had access to large populations of fish, birds, elk, beaver, and reindeer. They may have had goods to store and protect food, such as fish oil and frozen meat.

Archaeologists found pottery, slate tools and weapons, and animal bone fragments at the site.

Challenging stereotypes of hunter-gatherers

The rectangular houses were between 140 and 441 square feet — about the size of some NYC apartments — and had fireplaces, suggesting people may have lived in them throughout the winter.

Walls made of earth, ditches, and fences made of wooden stakes surrounded the houses that were built into the ground. These protections may have been an attempt to dissuade other groups from raiding the settlement, according to the authors.

"The discovery challenges stereotypes of such societies as simple and mobile, revealing their ability to create sophisticated structures," Schreiber told Newsweek.

The fortifications may not have always been effective, as there's evidence that the settlement was repeatedly burned.

Researchers believe the fires may have been deliberately set as an act of violence. "The environment of western Siberia now seems to us rather harsh and unfriendly, but for hunter-gatherers and fishers it was a real paradise," Ekaterina Dubovtseva, a co-author of the study, told Archaeology magazine.
