I vaguely remember the judged events which historians mark the end of the ‘Middle Ages’ being :

Columbus Sailing for the New World - (to China - he hoped, except there was this continent in the way) 1492

The Fall of Constantinople 1453


Somewhere else I recall a figurative ‘Last Battle Of the Middle Ages’ where the Mamelukes in Egypt tried to fight the French(early Napoleon times)

Despite the libtard mentality deciding history being actions of ‘evil white men’, in reality the Aztecs and Incas themselves (rapidly conquered in virtually no time at all historically) their established empires were only about 100 and 200 years old respectably.

Conquerors being conquered

All true the usual means (which people here have mentioned) done when EVERYONE has conquering others throughout history ...

(Gauls and Germans and Brits PARTICULARLY did not like Roman Lawyers)

The theory is that the skulls found in the rubbish heap were these sacrificial loved ones killed by the Incans? Why would they throw loved ones in a rubbish heap? Why come up with this theory, I didn’t see any evidence in the article.

I contend the Incans are misunderstood, and the most gentle empire of all! I have just as much evidence as that as that they were killed as warnings to behave thrown into a rubbish heap. At least from the article.

I like my theory, They got tossed in the trash because nobody bought them at the yard sale.

"This is skull of the Great Inca, $500." "I don't want to spend that much." "Okay, then here's this small one, for $200, it's the skull of the Great Inca as a boy." Thanks BenLurkin.

Has there ever been a case where meeting a technologically more advanced civilization went well for any people?

The Incans liked to do their sacrifices by strangling young girls and leaving them frozen sitting on mountains. A nuber of such have been found and some people kind of romanticize them.
