Paperback. The Temporal Witnesses Volume 1: Dawn of Civilizations When your school erases history, sometimes you have to go back and witness it yourself.Sixteen-year-old Cuchu Ramirez is tired of hearing that "real civilization" started in Europe. Fifteen-year-old Matias Kim thinks history is just dead people's problems. But when their Seattle high school bans archaeology textbooks for promoting "anti-American narratives," these unlikely allies discover something that changes everything: the power to travel back in time.Their first journey hurls them 3,500 years into the past, where they witness the Dawn of Civilizations-and everything they've been taught crumbles around them.Three Ancient Cities. Three Shocking Truths. 48 Hours to Survive.CARAL, PERU (3500 BCE): In the oldest city in the Americas, Cuchu and Matias discover sophisticated urban planning, ceremonial pyramids, and a peaceful society that thrived while Europe was still in the Stone Age. No weapons. No warfare. Just brilliant engineering and community cooperation that challenges everything their textbooks claim about "primitive" ancient peoples.POVERTY POINT, LOUISIANA (3400 BCE): Massive earthworks stretch across the landscape-older than Stonehenge, more complex than anything in contemporary Europe. They watch thousands of people coordinate continental trade networks, moving materials across thousands of miles with precision that rivals modern logistics.URUK, MESOPOTAMIA (3200 BCE): In the world's first known city, they witness the birth of writing through the eyes of temple workers and scribes, understanding how human civilization documented itself for the first time. But this isn't the "cradle of civilization" their teachers described-it's one flowering among many.But ancient wonders aren't their only problem. Back in 2025, the Heritage Foundation 2.0 is systematically rewriting American education, and their time-traveling research threatens everything the Foundation is trying to hide. As Cuchu and Matias race against a 48-hour deadline-their modern objects are dissolving around them-they realize they're not just fighting for their lives. They're fighting for the truth itself.The resistance starts now. The past is the key. And time is running out.Perfect for fans of: Rick Riordan's mythology adventures, Octavia Butler's time travel, and anyone who suspects their history textbooks aren't telling the whole truth.What Readers Are Saying: "Finally, a time travel story that shows the real sophistication of ancient civilizations without 'ancient aliens' nonsense!""Cuchu and Matias feel like real teens dealing with real school censorship-plus awesome archaeological adventures.""This is the book I wish I'd had in high school when my teachers acted like nothing important happened before Columbus."Content Notes: Addresses real issues of educational censorship and curriculum battles. Includes themes of cultural identity, historical truth, and teen resistance to institutional oppression. Some mild language and intense scenes involving time travel dangers.

Three cities on three continents, and nobody in any of them had ever heard of the others.
A school board votes four to three to pull the archaeology out of every classroom in the district. Cuchu Ramirez, a Mexican-American junior in Seattle, shouts at them from the floor and gets a security guard walking up the aisle for it. Matias Kim, who calls all of this dead people's problems, changes his mind a day later when he reads the proposed standards and finds Korean printing cut to one sentence. The money behind the vote belongs to the Patrimony Foundation 2.0.
Then their teacher opens three boxes that were supposed to go back to the museum, and the two of them are holding a clay figurine, a carved stone bead and a clay tablet at the same moment.
Three Civilizations. Forty-Eight Hours. Nothing Comes Home.
CARAL, PERU (2600 BCE): Three thousand people in a planned city in an irrigated desert valley, six stepped pyramids, cotton and squash on terraces above the river. Every morning the water is argued out loud in a circle, and the circle stops and waits while somebody goes to find the families who are not there. No weapons anywhere, and no wall.
WATSON BRAKE, LOUISIANA (3400 BCE): Eleven earthen mounds and a ridge enclosing a thousand feet of open ground, raised basket by basket by people who farmed nothing and wrote nothing, over four hundred years. Everything laid out on the mats at the autumn gathering came from within a few days' walk. One man keeps count of who carried and who did not, and nobody in that ring can overrule him.
URUK, MESOPOTAMIA (3200 BCE): Tens of thousands of people, temple platforms going up in stages, and apprentice scribes working out how to hold a promise in clay. A young record-keeper shows Cuchu a tablet that says a man brought in eleven measures of barley. Then he tells her, without being asked, whose names are in none of the tablets in the room.
Forty-eight hours there is forty-eight minutes in the storage closet. Everything they carry fades on the way home, the phone, the gift pressed into Cuchu's hand at the gate, all of it. What comes back is what they saw.
Dr. Sarah Crow Feather tells them the price before they go. Anybody can travel and look. A witness is the one who has to stand up afterwards, in a room like the one they sat in, and account for it.
Perfect for fans of: Elizabeth Wein's young people under political pressure, Octavia Butler's time travel, and anyone who has ever wondered which paragraph their textbook decided a civilization was worth.
