What the radiocarbon framework establishes firmly is that the Windover burials predate the pyramids of Egypt by approximately 2,000 years, predate the famous tomb of Tutankhamen by roughly 3,200 years, and predate the construction of Stonehenge.

These comparisons are sometimes used to convey the antiquity of the site to general audiences, and they are accurate.

The people buried at Windover were living in the Florida interior at a time when writing had not yet been invented anywhere on Earth, when the agricultural civilizations of the Nile and Mesopotamia were just beginning to emerge, when the Americas were populated entirely by Indigenous hunter-gatherer communities.

The Early Archaic of Florida was not a primitive period.
