Global trade was a thing back then. It collapsed around 1200 BC, but before it did, there was a lot of knowledge (and probably cultural phenomena) spreading around amongst much of humanity.
I doubt we'll ever know half of it.
- ljlolel 6y agodoesn't explain Peru
- menybuvico 6y agoNo, that's likely to end up in the half we'll never be able to figure out. Unless the aliens are good at record-keeping and decide to tell us one day. :D
- leadingthenet 6y agoCould you expand on this? My knowledge is severely lacking wrt the Americas during this period.
- notahacker 6y agoAssume the OP's point is that American civilisations developed without being plugged into a Eurasian 'global' trade system, starting in Peru. The Norte Chico system is generally believed to have developed cities and monumental architecture over a broadly similar time period as the Middle Eastern civilisations without any contact with them at all. They even built superficially similar step pyramids.
