I'm thinking about this discovery from Caral and it's blowing my mind 
. I mean, 4,200 years ago, they're facing this massive drought and climate catastrophe, but instead of resorting to violence, they just adapt and migrate to new areas. It's like they're saying, "Hey, we need a change, let's make some new homes." And the way they preserved their history through these intricate artworks is so beautiful 
.
I'm also loving how they were able to preserve their unique culture and politics in these new settlements. The fact that they had this strong structure without writing or the wheel is just amazing
. It's like, we can learn from them about living in harmony with nature and not relying on violence to solve our problems.
It's also crazy to think that Caral's legacy predates other civilizations by millennia
. I mean, we've always known they were an important civilization, but this new discovery is just taking it to a whole new level. And it's not just about their accomplishments, but also about the fact that they didn't disappear, they adapted and moved on.
It's definitely making me think about how we can learn from them today
. Can we apply some of these principles to our own lives and societies? Can we find ways to live in harmony with nature without resorting to violence or exploiting resources? The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that Caral's story is a powerful lesson for us all

I'm thinking, what's the takeaway from this? It's like they were trying to tell us something - that we don't have to be slaves to our circumstances. They survived a harsh time and created art, culture, and community instead of just fighting to stay alive. And the thing is, it wasn't even about the environment itself, but about how they adapted and worked together to get through it. Like, the temples with the murals are not just some sad story, but also a testament to their resilience. We can learn so much from this - that we have the power to create our own narrative, to find hope in the darkness, and to live in harmony with nature. 
You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. 
~C.S. Lewis (reminds us of resilience & adaptability)
I'm literally dying over here! The fact that Caral thrived without resorting to violence is like, whoa... what even is that? 
, especially with the murals depicting the arrival of water after a drought - it's like they had their own version of the weather app 
I mean, who needs writing or the wheel when you've got community, resilience, and a deep connection to nature?
