Why is it that all old ruins of ancient South Ameria are at or near one of the driest deserts of Earth ? Does it mean that dry weather somehow preserve ruins and mummies better than wetter regions ? Or all ancient civilization settled on dry regions for some reason ? I am leaning to the former. How about your opinion ?
Yes. Hot, low humidity enhances mummification. There was a dramatic weather/climate change in that area about 6,000 years ago that began the presently observed El Nino cycle. One FReeper suggested an intriguing possibility. (it does not fit with my ideas, none the less intriguing). He/she suggested that the North/South American continents were not connected prior to 6k years ago and that when they connected or re-connected that was the cause of the weather/climate change. I don't know. I think this region has the capability to change everything we think we know about our history upside down.
Maybe the climate was different at that time.
Before the flood mentioned in the Bible
