After the recent finding about Grandpa Uno's astronomical feats during the 1960s, the staff has decided to probe even deeper into this period of Grandpa's life.
Shortly after his admission into the space program in the USSR, Grandpa spent a few years scouring the globe for archaeological finds. He was such fanatic for history, for the roots of human civilization. Grandpa had seen some of the greatest moments in history, and he believed that what he couldn't witness first-hand, he wanted to be a part of however he could.
While traveling in Central and South America, a determined Grandpa uncovered a previously unknown early Mayan civilization, dated as far back as 2200B.C. Through the discovery of the city buried well beneath the surface of Colombian soils, Grandpa was able to determine that not only were the earliest Mesoamericans wonderfully spiritual and pioneers of astronomy, even that they were remarkable architects, these earliest Mayans were also a fantastic culinary civilization.
Basic understanding of what sorts of foods may have been prepared during early civilizations is inferred through textual documentation, and occasionally through the examination of pottery and cooking tools. But from the details that Grandpa was able to manipulate, he learned how to make a tomato sauce that is both chunky and smooth at the same time, mastering his love of deep dish pizza (later to be used in his famous Uno's restaurants).
After the famed discovery, critics thought Grandpa would either retire from his archaeological hobbies. He had the money, he had the notoriety, and he had a space program to get back to in the USSR. He took some time off, and between 1973 and 2008, Grandpa discovered three of the missing links in human evolution, including the most recent "Ida" fossil, which projects humans as possible descendants of lemur-like creatures. It makes sense.
Grandpa actually attempted to do the same thing with peanut butter, however, at the time of his work, the technology was not available to restructure peanuts at the sub-atomic level in order to make them smooth and chunky at the same time.
