I thought the headline was referring to websites. Oops.

Are the Native Americans who inhabited mesoamerica prior to the 15th century now referred to as “pre-Hispanic?” Does that mean that because I’m Hispanic, I no longer have Native American ancestors from mesoamerica, despite the DNA evidence that says I do?

It means that the sites were built before Spanish presence and/or rule of the areas. Could be pre- or post-Pizarro.

Nope-they were just as vicious and bloody as the Native Americans-slaughter, slavery, torture, rape and pillage, Spanish Inquisition, etc. I’m of Spanish ancestry with a bit of Native American thrown in, like most Hispanics-neither group of ancestors were nice people...

Well, Precolumbian would be pre-1492, some of these sites are as late as 1600, per the article — but all are pre-Hispanic.

As I have written many times, “The Europeans didn’t do anything that the native Americans didn’t do to each other for a thousand years.”.................

Some people are still shocked when they read about druids roasting people over a fire in cages, or evidence that some civilization practiced cannibalism in the far past, etc. We were all savages at some point-civilization is pretty much a veneer, even now-scratch deep enough and the savage re-emerges...
