14,000-year-old village discovered in Canada one of oldest settlements ever found in North America
The village, which is estimated to be 14,000 years old, has been found on a rocky spit on Triquet Island, about 500 kilometres northwest of Victoria, Canada. It is estimated the village is older than Egypt’s pyramids.
