“Light-Years” - groan.
Ancient aliens transferred technology to the Mayans. I’m a believer in the ancient alien explanation for the technical wonders built by primitive civilizations.
Light years, I always regarded that as, you know, kind of a distance in space. These clever reporters know there’s a thing, spacetime. I’m sure that’s what was meant.
Anyway, I bet Mayans knew cuz they were so smart!
I was in Cancun at Chicheniza on 12/21/2012 at 11:11 and — NOTHING! I wanted to be at Ground Zero when the End came.
I wanted my money back but who is there to ask?
(Actually, it was crowded but pretty funny. A bunch of overaged hippies were playing “ring around the rosie” around the Great Pyramid, then would all fall down, then start again.)
Right!
I like how the Nat Geo and others make Maya out to be SO advanced and superior to our culture.
I mean these guys were doing human, and blood sacrifice along with some other REAL WEIRD and brutal things, all WHILE purifying their f’n drinking water! It was all being done centuries AFTER the birth of Christ... so.... how ‘advanced’ were they?
Thanks Red Badger.
Montezuma’s revenge.
should have been inventing gun powder. too busy ripping peoples hearts out I guess.
And all these years later they are still bottling Topo Chicio
They weren’t doing anything weirder or more brutal than Europeans. Europeans burned an associate of Martin Luther at the stake merely for a difference of opinion on a theological matter.
Administering a flogging so serious the victim could die from the wounds was common in colonial America.
Then there is keelhauling... for those in the Navy.
Humanity is pretty rotten throughout the world; no one has a monopoly on evil, no one can really brag about being above it.
The West purified our water by making beer out of it. Breakfast beer a very low ABV and the ABV rose during the day.
So they essentially had Britta water and we had beer. Who exactly got the better end of that deal?
They filtered it through human skulls.
(They were in another galaxy at that time)
Advanced astronomy and water filtration. Very impressive.
Yep nowhere in the Americas was a wheel to be found.
