Communities living in Colombia thousands of years ago achieved an engineering wonder of the world based on cooperation among family groups without top-down government, a new study shows. |

Is “pre-Hispanic” a general replacement for “pre-Columbian”, or is it just used in Colombia to avoid confusion with the country name? |

The pre-Hispanic field systems of La Mojana in the Colombian Caribbean are so vast that they can be seen from a plane at high altitude. Is “pre-Hispanic” a general replacement for “pre-Columbian”, or is it just used in Colombia to avoid confusion with the country name?
Could have just said Zenú/Sinú. Pre-hispanic typically means before colonization by Christopher Columbus and his Spaniard ilk. |
