None. They were mythical places which Columbus in his desperation to find confirmation for his biases tried to see as real and akin to places in Marco Polo's tales. I explain that in the video
Off topic, but why didn't the Mayans have much contact with the Taino? They're right next to Cuba, and both peoples had boats good enough to traverse such a short distance.
The issue here is that we don't have any evidence to confirm such a contact. Scholars recognize it is feasible, but so far, we have no real confirmation of such contact. So maybe the Maya and the Taino peoples contacted each other at some point, but we have no concrete material to prove that, and until we find it, we can't honestly and conclusively state that they had contact in pre-Columbian times. Also, it's "Maya". "Mayan" is only adequate when talking about the languages, not about the peoples; as there are many Mayan languages and many Maya ethnic groups.
@@AztlanHistorian Thanks for the clarification on Maya vs Mayan. I've heard both used and didn't realize one was for the language. Kinda like the Turkish language vs the Turkic languages.
@@jasper2621 That mistake is common, and you can see even mainstream media and educative materials misusing "Mayan" and "Maya". I made a video on them by the way, in case you want to check it out :)

Which Islands you think Carib and Matinino actually are in modern geography?.
None. They were mythical places which Columbus in his desperation to find confirmation for his biases tried to see as real and akin to places in Marco Polo's tales. I explain that in the video

This the historian of Amazonians.
Amazons... they're not the same as Amazonian peoples. Although it would be a good idea to talk about them in the future
