But hey, their culture is as good as ours, right?

Coming of age blood sacrifices of ancient Mayans. Just another peaceful and gentle, one with nature example. (sarc)

But Columbus was evil. The natives were just peace-loving hippies until he came along...

There are reasons some civilizations disappear.

All cultures are equal!
And on top of that—their bloody pagan descendants are coming here by the millions illegally.

Nothing has changed much, they are still killing each other and making blood sacrifices, not with arrows, with fully automatic weapons in drive by chootings.

That's just a barbed cord she's pulling through her pierced tongue.

Ancient man used animal parts to make glue and used the blood of animals for making glue also. The glue is used on the arrowheads to help hold in place along with sinew bindings. Modern day flintknappers call it bunny glue but it can be made from any animal.

On our archaeology listserver, it was observed that the level of knapping skill revealed in those pictured "arrowheads" is about on a par with the modern "tourist junk" points cranked out in Mexico for sale all over the Southwest for a quarter apiece.

I know for a fact that my son could pressure-flake at least that well when he was in middle school... But, the real telltale is that the bases aren't adequately thinned for hafting -- and obsidian is absurdly easy to flake...

OTOH, the Maya were flintknapping masters. So far, not buying it...

Until those cruel conquistadores stopped those cultural practices.
