One of the greatest archeological discoveries in history occurred in …. get this… a тιтusville subdivision. In 1982 backhoe operator Steve Vanderjagt was clearing an area around a pond that would become the Windover Farms subdivision when he stumbled across human remains … very, very old human remains.
“The remains uncovered at the Windover site were between 7,000 and 8,000 years old, making them 3,200 years older than King Tutankhamen and 2,000 years older than the Great Pyramids of Egypt,” according to Florida Frontiers. Nearly 200 separate, intact burials were excavated at the Windover site in an underwater cemetery.
DNA from the brain tissue has also been able to be sequenced, making Windover one of the most important archaeological sites from the Archaic period to ever be excavated.
