How come southern america and mesoamerica developed civilization while northern america just had tribes and nomads?
How come southern america and mesoamerica developed civilization while northern america just had tribes and nomads?
I've heard there are new discoveries about an ancient Mississippian civilization, also, there's the Pueblo culture.
Look up the geographical location of mesoamerica
Discarted South America, because they are descendants of incas and mayans, that just immigrated down to here
We wuz aeronaves and shiet
crazy to think that they built all that stuff using llamas or something, but didn't know how to use a wheel
Access to resources, trade, geography and population density.
Same reason why European civilisation started in Greece, why British civilisation will always be centered around the south-east, why China is so populous. Geography.
define civilization
We latinos steal use some loan indian skills that our grandmas teach us
we need meso user help
crazy to think people believe this
yes, we steal, kek, ...
Anyway, like we brazilians we take many showers like the indians, we use "webs" to sleep ...
USA is filled with these mounds that have been covered in dirt.
Catholics became conciouss about the senseless destruction and started to preserve things. For example they saved the aztec sun disk and displayed it in the mexican city main church.
Protestant on the other hand (except for mormons) are/were hell bent on destroying everything because they deemed it 'satanic'
RN as we speak they are destroying mayan temples in central america and converting them into protestants
Most south american natives were as advanced as Congolese pygmies
they didn't have animals that could make inventing wheels useful so yeah aztecs prolly didn't have wheels
There was a big massive lake central Mexico that fed all of the Mesoamerican tribes, there wasn't something like that in North America
They had the wheel they just used it for stupid shit
I am trans btw
>Llamas
>Tenochtitlan
Berlusconi you are drunk again.
they had carts but didnt have the right animals to drag them
sad this civ was destroyed :(
Aren't llamas a peru thing?
South American indians had astronomy, pyramids, written system, and advanced archiducts to flow waters, unironically
This. The Americas north of Mexico did have sedentary, Amerindian city-states and empires on the scale of those of Mexico and Peru, but they collapsed before the arrival of the Europeans due to a combination of runaway economic inequality and environmental destruction.
When the first Europeans did arrive however, most Amerindians in the eastern US did practice sedentary, agricultural-based civilization, as did the Pacific Northwest, California, and the Pueblo. Nomadic Amerindians were primarily a feature of the Central US/Great Plains, where cities were mostly infeasible.
if anything be sad about the incas, aztecs were vile
they had wheels, they just weren't useful to them
The catholics tried to incorporate mesoamerican religion into catholicism.
They also tried to create a native church here.
Many priests were studied nahuatl men who permeated catholic thinkig with their own religion
This is why mexican catholicism is quite different from european catholicism
This is unthinkable for protestants. They razed everything to the ground. Religion was used to justify genocides. Latter on it was racism.
Take some car to Corumbá, Brazil, and now go to Santa Cruz de la Sierra, BolĂvia, a bit most of street that walk and ... Tihuanaco solar portal
Yeah I agree
