Ancient Rice Found in Guam’s Secret Cave

3,500-year-old rice was just discovered in a remote cave in Guam, and it’s the oldest rice ever found in Remote Oceania! Archaeologists found tiny rice fossils (phytoliths) stuck to ancient pottery—nowhere else in the cave. Experts think this rice was used in special rituals, not everyday meals. The wildest part? The first settlers carried rice seeds over 2,300 km of open ocean to get there. Imagine hauling your favorite food across the sea just to start a new life! #Food #Archaeology #AncientHistory
