Archaeologists believe that the first people to come to the Americas were hunters. These hunters crossed the Bering land bridge that connected Siberia and Alaska during many ice ages. Native Americans created tails that would make humans think that we were created in North America. Today the Bering bridge is under water, but that wasn’t the case around 33,000 and 10,000.

Languages similar to the Aztec language have existed in Central Mexico for 1400 years. As early as 600 A.D. languages known as Nahuan were spoken by people in the area. It is believed that these language came from the northern waves.

The Common Corn Snake (Elaphe guttata guttata) lives in the southeastern United States, and is distinguished by having brownish-orange skin with orange/red saddles, the saddles having black borders, and usually a black and white underbelly.

Peruvians where crazy about their national dog, a bald and often toothless breed. Popular among Incan kings.

An ancient Inca skull shows evidence of skull surgery known as trepanation. A new study of the skull finds that the procedure was performed rather often by the Inca, likely to treat injuries suffered during combat.

Gulf Coast of Mexico, at what he would call Vera Cruz (True Cross), he entered a world which had been prepared to receive him. More accurately, it was a world prepared, though not yet willing, to receive his God. It was 1519 in the Year of Our Lord, but the fifth epoch according to the Aztec Sun Stone, which chronicled the history of the people who only recently had come to dominate central Mexico.
