And as we'll see in this video, and we've talked about in other videos, it's a place where we have many significant cultures and civilizations and empires developing. Now what's interesting about it, it is not your classic river valley civilization like we have in Mesopotamia or in ancient Egypt or along the Yellow River in China or the Indus River in India and Pakistan. Instead, this area is really defined by the Humboldt Current. The Humboldt Current is a current that comes up from the south and off the coast of what is modern-day Peru for the most part. It brings all these nutrients from the bottom of the ocean. And what it does is it makes it a very powerful fishery. So there's a lot of fish in the ocean in this part of the world.
