I clapped when the good guys finally showed up.
Apocalypto
Mayans were already extinct when the spanish arrived
Gibson is a hack
Those are vikings though.
That's not what the film was saying. Mel Gibson is based and understands that society fell apart completely when the Spanish arrived and pitted the natives against each other. The point is that a society that is based upon fiendish exploitation will eventually be destroyed from without.
What? The Spaniards civilized these savages. We watched an entire movie of them being disgusting subhumans and finally we get a ray of hope as the Spaniards bring civilization to them.
Mayans are literally still alive today in some countries like guatemala.
Classic mayan civilization occurred 500 years before the Spanish arrived, and they lived in the ruins of it, that's what you meant I hope..
spoilers, dude
>spoilers, dude
Movie shows a completely inaccurate mix of mayan and aztecs.
And both were civilizations in their own right, one in decline, other very evil, but civilized they were.
Me too, user. Me too.
Oh look another lefty retard with Mel Derangment Syndrome
>Mayans were already extinct when the spanish arrived
then who did they rape to make mexicans?
>civilized
they were early Copper Age tier, you can see the same shit in Mesopotamia 4-5K years ago, Europe had >3000 years of technological advancement compared to America.
>rape
Were these supposed to be Mayans? Where does it say that?
The language they speak the entire movie
I watched the dub
It literally took the Spanish like 100 years to finally conquer the Maya for good
Probably cause they live in a jungle and actually put up a fight.
Also they were a bunch of fragmented and isolated city states instead of one massive kingdom surrounded by smaller kingdoms who hated their guts and were just looking for an excuse to knock them down a peg, like the Aztecs.
The Aztecs were so universally despised that even fringe tribes in bumfuck Central America had heard of them, and knew enough to hate them. The Aztecs really were as comically and laughably evil as the Spanish portrayed them.
Isn't there plenty of evidence that shows natives actually had better teeth than modern people? Why did he insist on giving everyone rotting disgusting fake teeth?
