Mexico City is built on Tenochtitlan.
Stuff like this is interesting as can be. The Aztec culture, Inca, Mayan, the Pueblo people, Native American cultures...I’ve seen a number of the rock drawings out west, petroglyphs, incredibly interesting stuff.
I wish we had been able to go to the cliff dwellings, but we didn’t go to that area. (Pueblo? I think...)
Cahokia Illinois has the largest Native American city found so far, with some of the largest mounds in the country. Poverty Point in north Louisiana was the location of a yearly swap meet for at least 6000 years. Several smaller mounds there too.
Always interesting stuff. I’d love to be able to see some of the artifacts found up close. What those people were able to do using only what they could find is amazing. Rocks, wood, clay and fire and they managed to make interesting jewelry, bows and arrows, impressive buildings, clay pots and jars of a variety of styles, often with intricate decorations, paint fashioned from clay and various plant pigments...
Scoff if you want to but ask yourself this. Could you, right now, survive without any modern conveniences at all? Nothing but what you can find on and growing in the ground? Could you even build a fire?
No matches, no electric drill, no propane or natural gas oven, no store to go buy a blanket, no knife or gun, you wake up and all you have is what you see growing...could you live more than 3 weeks?
