In 2004, I attended a guided tour of the ancient Mayan city at Chichen Itza, Mexico. The tour guide, a descendent of the Mayans, was quite impressed with his ancestry, and made no secret of his disdain for the Europeans. He actually claimed Isaac Newton was assisted by the Mayans in his development of calculus. IOW, he stole the concept from the Mayans.
Heh, IOW, he was a bigot and ignoramus.
