Summary
While Greece and Persia dominate the history books, entire worlds are developing across the Americas. In this episode we explore: • The Chavín network that connected the Andes through religion, pilgrimage, trade, AND DRUGS! • The hidden civilizations of Amazonia beneath the rainforest canopy • The Saladoid expansion across the Caribbean and the first island farming cultures These societies were shaping entire regions — long before the civilizations most people recognize.
