RE: Chinampas - Traditional Farms in the Valley of Mexico

in #gardening7 years ago

It gets into the whole human origins and pre flood speculation about who came before all that and who might've been left, remembering what. But it could be coincidence... though they still don't know how mummies got into Coca so far away. Do the Chinampas float, like properly? or just enough to stay on TOP of water but not like a boat?

Sort:  

I used to think they float, so you could cross the lake on them and a long pole to push you around. But then I learned that they are actual islands. Especially once you plant trees on them, they're not floating anywhere. Thing is, though, the lake is quite shallow, so it wasn't too hard to build up an island from the lake bottom.

Brilliant. Just Brilliant
