6 NEW CULTURES

• Era 1 – Caralans (Builder)
• The Caralan culture developed on the arid lands of the South American pacific shores at the beginning of the third millennium BCE.
• Here, they built a complex urban society where complementary communities of farmers and fishermen participated in the production of food surpluses that ensured Caralan prosperity.
• Era 2 – Nazca (Aesthete)
• The Nazca took advantage of the farming possibilities offered by their environment to build a perennial culture at the beginning of the second century CE.
• Experts in ceramics and weaving, they left incredible tokens of their craft and mythology in their numerous tombs and on the desert soil itself.
• Era 3 – Taíno (Agrarian)
  • The Taíno were affiliated to the Arawak speaking peoples and were dominant in the Greater Antilles between the 7th and 13th centuries.
  • Endowed with great adaptation capacities, they took advantage of a wide variety of biomes, thriving through agriculture on lands relatively poor in animal and vegetal diversities.
• Era 4 – Inca (Expansionist)
• According to their mythology, the Inca were the heirs of Manco Capac who founded the city of Cuzco for his people.
• From the 15th century onward, they launched a successful series of conquests and integrated most of the Andean world in the Tawantinsuyu, the “Realm of the four parts”.
• Era 5 – Argentinians (Merchant)
• After the proclamation of its independence in 1816, San Martin’s homeland played a decisive role in the destruction of Spanish authority in South America.
• After decades of political construction and conflicts, Argentina benefited from its integration into the globalized market to become a major exporter of agricultural products.
• Era 6 – Cubans (Aesthete)
• The final capture of La Havana by Fidel Castro’s guerrilleros in January 1959 sanctioned the end of both Batista and the United States’ domination in Cuba.
