History Fact #2:

Clay pottery was a hot commodity for the Pueblo people. They hid their household items made of clay in secret locations to prevent other people from outside their community trying to steal them.

If you have not seen the ancient Mayan written glyphs, definitely look them up. They are really cool

Fun History Fact of the Day:

The first records we have of humans being creative and making art are from South Africa. It's also possible that humans first evolved into what we know our species to be today in Africa.
