Archaeologists in Peru have made a remarkable discovery about the ancient civilization of Caral, revealing how its inhabitants survived a severe drought around 4,200 years ago without resorting to violence. Led by the esteemed Ruth Shady, the team found artefacts that illustrate the community's resilience and adaptability during a climate catastrophe. This finding is significant as it not only sheds light on the survival strategies of early civilizations but also offers valuable lessons on cooperation and resource management in the face of environmental challenges.
