From: The Chronicle of Unearthed History, Feb. 29 1981

In an extraordinary twist of fate, a backpacker named John Dubieux stumbled upon what could be a groundbreaking archaeological find while traversing the desolate landscapes of the Atacama Desert. Dubieux, a self-proclaimed enthusiast of "extreme history" tours, is not your typical archaeologist. Yet, his chance discovery has left experts baffled and intrigued.

According to Dubieux, while seeking shelter during a particularly grueling desert hike, he came upon a set of ruins that appeared to be remnants of an ancient temple. What was initially perceived as a shelter turned out to be an astonishing archaeological site that Dubieux believes belongs to the elusive Atacama Bronze Age Culture.

"I knew I had found something incredible," Dubieux recalls. "The moment I set foot inside that temple, I could feel the weight of history and the presence of a lost civilization."

This find has garnered attention for its unconventional nature and Dubieux's background, which lacks formal training in archaeology. Critics argue that his connections to the "extreme history" tour industry may influence his perspective. However, Dubieux remains resolute in his belief.

"I'm passionate about history, and sometimes, it takes an outsider to make groundbreaking discoveries," Dubieux states confidently.

Amidst the speculation, some alternative theorists have even suggested that extraterrestrial involvement might explain the enigmatic origins of this ancient culture, although such claims remain on the fringes of archaeology.

Despite skepticism from mainstream historians, the Atacama Bronze Age Culture, as dubbed by Dubieux, has piqued the curiosity of alternative history enthusiasts worldwide. The site is set to undergo further examination by a team of archaeologists in an attempt to verify its historical significance.

The Chronicle of Unearthed Histories will continue to follow this extraordinary discovery closely, providing updates on the unfolding investigation.
