I’ve been looking into the Pueblo Bonito ruins in New Mexico and found something that completely blew my mind.

I’ve been looking into the Pueblo Bonito ruins in New Mexico and came across something wild. In a hidden burial chamber called Room 33, scientists tested ancient DNA and discovered that for over 300 years the elite there all belonged to the same **maternal bloodline**, meaning power and wealth were passed down through women, not male chiefs like we’re often taught. It suggests a long-lasting royal dynasty at Chaco Canyon surrounded by huge amounts of turquoise and exotic goods before the lineage suddenly disappears from the record. I made a short video on this if anyone’s interested: **https://youtu.be/c67Mawkzv5I**. Has anyone else looked into the Room 33 discovery? It completely changed how I see this place.
