The analysis is based on the study of archaeological monuments of material and spiritual culture, reflected in rock paintings, petroglyphs and geoglyphs. The first traces of settlers in the territory of Mexican California are about 14,000 years old (Clovis culture) and are associated with Aridoamerica. Cultures have been coming in from the north continuously, although their sequence has yet to be determined. A culture of nomadic and semi-nomadic groups (the conchero camp culture) was formed here, collecting shellfish, plants and fruits, coastal fishing, and hunting marine and terrestrial mammals. The geographical isolation of the peninsula did not allow the establishment of links between Californians and Mesoamerican cultural areas.

The focus of philosophical research attention on the theoretical and, where appropriate, specifically applied problems of religion is a phenomenon immanent and unpersuasive. Its relevance is explained by the fact that the reflexiveness of philosophical thinking always determines the search for the answer to the basic worldview questions and aims at grasping the standards of wisdom. The history of human civilization is confirmed by the fact that one of the major worldview issues that bothers man is the question of life and death, the meaning of human existence and the purpose of the world and, most often, in finding an answer to it, humanity turned to a religion that is vividly illustrated by the existence of the great the number of different doctrines and beliefs. It is no secret that a large number of people see in religion and the basis of wisdom, the ideological and axiological potential of its nurturing. Of course, this does not mean that within the human culture there is no attempt to find wisdom outside of religion and even against it. But in any case, it cannot be denied that the search for wisdom on the basis of religious outlook is historically natural, and even dominates spiritual culture in certain eras.
