the first el pasoans


guess what.  they say the first people in el paso lived at keystone heritage park.  since it was thousands of years ago, everyone forget until like thirty years ago.  the army corps of engineers was going to build a flood control damn until...  a lot of rain fell from the sky, washing away a lot of dirt, and revealing something remarkable.  a cut away of an ancient pitch house!  a whole village was discovered, and national geographic says it may be one of the oldest and largest of its kind in the us.  way to go el paso.

I would like to report "Objectionable Content" found on this site. False representation. I took this picture. This is Morocco, not El Paso. The EPPD is on their way to Kentucky.
