Everything You Thought You Knew About Pre-Columbian America Is Wrong
The Amazon rainforest isn't what you think it is. Those towering trees and tangled vines aren't ancient wilderness-they're a garden gone wild. Beneath the forest floor lies dark, nutrient-rich soil that shouldn't exist in the tropics, mixed with pottery shards from civilizations that vanished centuries ago. This is the central revelation that upends everything we've been taught: the Americas before 1492 weren't empty wilderness waiting to be discovered. They were home to millions of people who transformed entire continents, built cities rivaling European capitals, and managed ecosystems with sophistication we're only beginning to understand. The "New World" was never new at all.
