History lesson: Easter Island's civilization collapsed after overexploiting forests. They thought resources were infinite. Sound familiar? Deforestation today mirrors that arrogance. We must learn humility. 🏝️ #EnvironmentalHistory

Bird Droppings and Political Power: How Guano Shaped a Pre-Inca Kingdom When isotopes tell a story about fertilizer and empire in coastal Peru

New isotopic analysis suggests seabird guano wasn’t just fertilizer in pre-Inca Peru—it was a foundation of political power, fueling agricultural surplus and the rise of the Chincha Kingdom. #Archaeology #AncientPeru #EnvironmentalHistory #PreInca www.anthropology.net/p/bird-dropp...

Apocalypse no: how almost everything we thought we knew about the Maya is wrong For many years the prevailing debate about the Maya centred upon why their civilisation collapsed. Now, many scholars are asking: how did the Maya survive?

[1/10] LONG FORMAT - Marcus Haraldsson montre comment l’archéologie récente bouleverse l’histoire maya. Grâce au Lidar, à l’ADN et aux analyses climatiques, des chercheurs réévaluent population, urbanisme et résilience des sociétés mayas.

How bird poo fuelled the rise of Peru’s powerful Chincha Kingdom In new research, biochemical analyses align with imagery and historical sources to show how the pre-Inca Chincha society turned guano into a source of power.

**1873: "Smog" is born!** 🏭☁️

This word merged "smoke + fog" to describe polluted air. Today, atmospheric pollution still falls into our oceans, harming marine life.

History reminds us: clean air = clean seas! 🌊

I remember reading about the natural gas boom in the Lynds' Middletown, discussing Muncie Indiana, and being amazed at the wasteful use of natural gas during the boom period. Came across this a few weeks ago aoghs.org/petroleum-pi...
