Much of the prehistory of Mesoamerica is veiled in deep mystery, with just hints of the life of ancient societies. But some sites that persevered through the centuries help us paint a better picture of that long gone era. One such site is known as Casas Grandes. Nestled in the rugged landscape of northern Chihuahua, Mexico, the Casas Grandes site, also known as Paquimé, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and complexity of ancient cultures of North America. This UNESCO World Heritage site, once a bustling city, offers a glimpse into the pre-Columbian world, where architecture, trade, and social organization flourished in ways that continue to captivate archaeologists and historians alike. The ruins of Casas Grandes, with their intricate multi-story buildings, sophisticated water management systems, and evidence of far-reaching trade networks, reveal a society that was both innovative and influential in the region. ·Closely Related Elite Parents Sacrificed Child in Pre-Columbian Mexico ·Drinking in the Past: Centuries Old Evidence for Consumption of Corn Beer Found in Mexico Read moreSection: NewsAmericasAncient PlacesRead Later
