Archaeological Discoveries Uncover Secrets of Ancient Peoples in Greenland’s Wandel Dal Valley
Approximately 4,500 years ago, as the Great Pyramid of Giza was being constructed and the Indus Valley Civilization thrived, a group of Arctic peoples began migrating to northern Greenland, a region now referred to as Inutoqqat Nunaat, or the “land of the ancient people.”
This group represented the northernmost human culture on the planet at the time, residing just 800 kilometers from the North Pole. However, significant gaps in knowledge regarding their diet, customs, and survival strategies in the harsh polar climate have persisted. Recent archaeological research is shedding new light on this mysterious culture, marking an exciting advance in our understanding of their historical lifestyle.
