      From u.k.
      What really blows my mind, the Mayan didn’t have metal
      tools!
      No I don’t wear a tinfoil hat!
      But it makes you think!
      Looking at their architecture, and the colours
      It was painted.
      Compared to anything else it looks OTHERWORLDLY ?
      No metal tools!🛸👽
      Been into Aztec, Olmec, Mayan, since I was a kid.

      They designed it that way. There some secrets that are to big or logistically speaking hard to hide so they secure them scrub them from google earth and spread misinformation about such remote places. They hide our history from us because it would reveal most of what they teach us is fabricated or heavily edited and redacted. You can’t go here or there. Sooooo many islands on google earth will aways have some sort of building seemingly in the middle of nowhere no explanation. I truly believe they’ve been having an underground network of interconnected tunnels that connect globally. Another thing is a lot of these places are only accessible if you pay for a expedition service (always some obscure unheard of company) and when you go it’s not like you can just catch a ride and explore you have to stay with them. In other words they don’t want people making any discoveries they haven’t made or find any secrets they are hiding.

      But sacrifices to the underwater caves were common. They are still being found underwater and deep in the caves.
      Including kids.😞.
      But they were fast in their construction techniques, astrology, and weapons at the time.
      A few more centuries and they may of figured out how to use iron (not to sound insulting, they lacked large domestic animals which gave Europeans an advantage in tech, mobility, and disease resistance. Yes, disease resistance because when domesticating animals people usually get sick and die…but resistance builds up after a few generations).
      They were smart, the only thing I would try to convince them to do was the human sacrifice. But not thru ironic violence myself.
      Old traditions literally die hard. That includes human sacrifice apparently.😖

      You have to consider that those cities aren't from the exact same time, the invaders came.
      Many mayan cities had peaked in poulation a long time before the spanish came during the Mayan classical period and then fell into ruin , were abandoned or became much smaller than at their peak.
      The mayans were in a rather sorry state, when the spanish encountered them, compared to previous centuries. The Aztecs on the other hand were pretty much in a golden age around that time and had a very large population.

      If you search ancient mayan artwork, ir will reveal the swarthy complexion of the Indigenous Mayan. They were definitely dark-skinned, but I'm sure the world will find a way to deny the truth. When will the true Indigenous Americans be recognized as Black people that were already here, pre colonialism... Ancient American Maps that were written in Latin describing the people already here will show the truth. GIVE US OUR FLOWERS... I'm sick of it rest of world.

    The Mayans didn't "fade into obscurity" around 300 years ago (that would have been the 18th century). The Mayans left their cities for more rural settlements in the mid-tenth century, the the late-classical period. This was over a thousand years ago! But kudos the BBC for reporting on the topic, it's amazing what we're finding in the wilds today.

      All of which is to say, when you look at history, it's so much easier to 'point the finger' and try to cast 'blame' on some demographic, or other, than it is to simply pay attention to see what's really going on around you. When it comes to the things that governments do - regardless of the era, or geography, or 'resource' concerned, the 'powers that be' would rather have people looking at each other for culpability (the 'hidden enemy within'), than to see what they are up to through clear eyes.
      This is why the 'political lens' (and having everybody 'assigned' to one) is working so well for Late Stage Capitalism - nothing like historical grievances to whet the stone that sharpens the blades of 'moral high ground' - and yet we fall for it generation after generation (myself included, at times - lol).
