Pre-Columbian American civilizations are incredibly interesting. It's absurd how far they got without wheels, iron tools or animals like horses and cows. I guess I wouldn't mind listening about the Aztecs constantly.
Mesoamerican fact of the day:
The wheel was actually known to Mesoamerica pre-European contact. Archeological finds included toys, food preparation tools, seal rollers, and spindle whorls for textile making.
I'm a history nerd and Mesoamerica is quality content.
the dense tropical forest made backpacks way better for transportation of goods.
Their secret was murdering their children to win the favour of their gods.
For Tlaloc only ones born on lucky days.
