The bigger picture isn't the plants it's the soils that were manmade

I seen an Aussie doco about a couple who looked like Steve Irwin and his wife were doing a doco in South America Amazon somewhere and while going through the jungle they found these sandy bottom ponds , quite alot of them close together, they were about 10 to 20 feet across and about 4 feet deep, due to some natural anomaly these ponds never dry , they are alayws full of water, they found these large seeds in the bottom of the pond, the seeds won't sprout or deteriorate while in the water as they need heat treatment before they sprout. these seeds were non native and used in farming in other parts of the earth , they got some of the seeds tested with them being thousands of years old..

A lot of people from eastern peru tend to agree with joe on a lot of Amazon topics but this is not one of them. All just theories but it’s important that we are all thinking about it and exploring with new technologies and science.

It's called periculture not agriculture. And these were not civilizations, they were far more respecting of nature to be such
@chriscunningham7972
I believe that the people who lived there moved and the plants grew on their own.

The ice cream bean is fascinating. It fixes nitrogen in the soils basically creating fertilizer for itself and other plants
@jamesflowers7142
Nuh ugh!!!! I saw a REAL scientist say Grahams wrong because it can encourage slash and burn farming!!!! Now that’s what I call REAL SCIENCE!

Goons the lot of ya. The Amazon is fertilized from ancient lake beds in Africa. Trade winds carry the sand particles and nutrients to the Amazon. This along with natural decay in the jungle makes very fertile soils.
