This Florida Shell Mound is Older than the Pyramids!

What if we told you Florida had human settlements older than the Egyptian pyramids? 🏺 At Jupiter Inlet, archaeologists uncovered a massive shell mound built as early as 6,000 years ago—long before the rise of ancient Egypt. This site, once a thriving village possibly inhabited by the Jeaga, held ceremonial structures, rare trade beads from the 1500s, and one of the oldest examples of purposeful mound-building in North America. And here’s the kicker: most of it was lost to road construction before anyone knew what it was. 📍 Location: Jupiter, FL – Dubois Park 🏺 Pottery dating back 6,000 years 🌊 Shell mound visible from the sea 🧭 Trade beads linked to Spanish explorers ------------------------ Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SouthFloridaPBS Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wpbt2/ Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@southfloridapbs Visit our website: https://www.southfloridapbs.org We couldn’t do this without you!
