14,000-year-old village discovered in Canada
An ancient village believed to be one of the oldest human settlements ever found in North America has been discovered during an excavation on a remote island in British Columbia. The village, which is estimated to be 14,000 years old, has been found on a rocky spit on Triquet Island, about 500 kilometres northwest of Victoria, Canada.

"It is estimated the village is older than Egypt’s pyramids."
Well that's a painfully, stupidly obvious comment no matter which of "the pyramids" one references. Ye gods.
Excellent news in and of itself, though!
Well, to be fair, you have to make the estimate first before you know that. So first they estimated how old it was. Then they said it's 14 000 years old.
Fascinating story. The autoplaying video really annoyed me though. I'm the first one up in a quiet house, and had to scramble to mute.
