@DoomsdaysCW #Trump a détruit au bulldozer un site archéologique vieux de 1 000 ans pour faire de la place à un second mur frontalier.

Le#DHS était en pourparlers avec le #WildlifeRefuge qui héberge le site antique pour s'assurer qu'il était protégé, a déclaré un archéologue local.

"Un site archéologique rare dans le #SonoranDesert a été détruit au bulldozer par un entrepreneur du ministère de la Sécurité intérieure impliqué dans la construction des dernières sections du #BorderWall de Donald Trump, selon plusieurs sources informées de l'incident.

"La zone, dans un coin reculé du #CabezaPrieta #NationalWildlifeRefuge de l'Arizona, est une gravure de près de 280 pieds sur 50 pieds dans le sable du désert, connue sous le nom d'#intaglio.

"Vendredi dernier, sans aucun préavis, un entrepreneur travaillant pour le DHS a coupé une bande d'environ 60 pieds au milieu de l'intaille, causant des dommages irréparables à l'artefact vieux de 1 000 ans.

"Cabeza Prieta, l'une des plus grandes zones sauvages en dehors de l'Alaska, englobe également des terres sacrées pour la nation #TohonoOodham, qui borde le refuge à l'est. Les O'odham se sont battus pour empêcher la construction d'un mur frontalier à travers leur réserve et, au cours du premier mandat de Trump, ils l'ont largement emporté ; ils ont également réussi à protéger l'intaille et un site funéraire voisin qu'ils considèrent comme faisant partie de leurs terres ancestrales.

"Je compare cela à la destruction des lignes de Nazca - quelque chose que, culturellement, nous aurions dû savourer et promouvoir. Pas détruire", a déclaré Rick Martynec, un archéologue, lors d'un entretien téléphonique, en faisant référence aux centaines de figures dessinées dans les déserts du sud du Pérou.

"La destruction a été confirmée par un employé fédéral ayant une connaissance directe de l'incident, qui a demandé à ne pas être nommé par crainte de représailles.

"A rare archaeological site in the #SonoranDesert was bulldozed by a Department of Homeland Security contractor involved in building the latest sections of Donald Trump’s #BorderWall, according to multiple sources briefed on the incident.

"The area, in a remote corner of Arizona’s #CabezaPrieta #NationalWildlifeRefuge, is a nearly 280-by-50-foot etching in the desert sand known as an #intaglio.

"Last Friday, without any notice, a contractor working for DHS cut a roughly 60-foot swath across the middle of the intaglio, doing irreparable damage to the 1,000-year-old artifact.

"Cabeza Prieta, one of the largest wilderness areas outside of Alaska, also encompasses lands sacred to the #TohonoOodham Nation, which borders the refuge to the east. The O’odham have fought to prevent border wall construction across their reservation and during Trump’s first term largely prevailed; they also managed to protect the intaglio and a nearby burial site that they consider to be part of their ancestral lands.

" 'I liken it to destroying the Nazca lines — something that culturally we should have been relishing and promoting. Not destroying,' Rick Martynec, an archaeologist, said in a phone interview, referring to the hundreds of figures drawn into the deserts of southern Peru.

"The destruction was confirmed by a federal employee with direct knowledge of the incident, who asked not to be named for fear of reprisal."

🎲🧐 Wow, breaking news! Apparently, Native Americans were rolling dice before it was cool—12,000 years ago! Meanwhile, NBC News struggles to load on outdated browsers because, you know, the Stone Age and IE 11 are practically the same thing. 🤦‍♂️✨

Native Americans had dice and games of probability before other cultures: Study

Native Americans had dice and games of probability 12,000 years ago, according to a new study. That’s far earlier than the practice is thought to have existed anywhere in the Old World.
