Unless i find something underwater, this is my new wet dream.

One of the oldest, well-established cultures in South America.
... as far back as some 5500 years ago.
(That's Egyptian pyramid age.)

The Valdivia culture has pottery that some try to correlate with an ancient culture from Japan called the Jomon.

Some people are also trying to say that Kennewick Man was also of the Jomon because of its matching cranial features.

Similar pottery, similar phrenology.
These Jomon either get around or they are the subject of multiple independently parallel biological and cultural adaptations.

It can happen.
I mean, pyramids/mounds are prolific around the world:
Britain, Cambodia, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Mexico, Missouri, Peru, and I'm sure tons more places.
