Pre-Colombian inhabitants of Peru used telescopes!
How about having that tripple bypass done in South American thousands of years ago?
Interestingly, horses did not exist in S. America during the pre-Colombian era.
Meet the Pre-Colombian Flintstones! I hear they lived in South America instead having cars powered Through the courtesy of Federico's two feet, they instead hopped on Dino for a ride.
Few people know this, but Dino Flintstone was the world's first dinosaur rights activists and was the founder of Bedrock's chapter of DETD (Dinosaurs for the Equal Treatment for Dinosaurs) Dino was quite successful in his effort as dinosaurs were not used as a form of transportation and lobbied the government into establishing General Foot Pedaling that would become General Motors 165 million years later and only after the combustible engine was developed. Interesting, the folks in pre-Colombian South America could ride on dinosaurs, look at the stars using telescopes, conduct open heart surgery but were unable to invent the wheel or the combustible engine.
