While the Mayans were building this:
This Roman building was a thousand years old:
During the height of Mayan 'Classical Period', Europe was in the the 'Dark Ages' (circa 600-900 AD) and those 'European barbarians' forgot everything Rome (and Etruscans before them), Greece, and Egypt had knowledge of. So compared to European 'barbarians', Mayans were at the top. However the DUmmie would still be wrong as China was pretty darn advanced around 600-900 AD. And they used 'the wheel'
NOTE: I'm no pretend Einstein like the DUmmies. I watch the H2 Channel a lot and the Mayans have been the hot topic of late. And I read some of that 'History stuff' too.
