1. The epitome of a melting pot of nations

Native Americans—Indians

read it

Indians are the earliest inhabitants of the Americas. They have created splendid cultures, such as the Inca culture and Mayan culture created in the 12th to 15th centuries. Later, due to the invasion of Western colonists, the Indians were massacred and their numbers dropped sharply. The Indians had to retreat into the tropical jungles and mountains and live a primitive and backward life.

Mayan Civilization:

In the 30th century BC, the Mayans settled in southern Mexico and other places. There were about 200 million people. They belonged to the American branch of the Mongol race and spoke Indian language.

The period from the third and fourth centuries BC to the tenth century AD was the heyday of the Mayan civilization, with the emergence of exquisite and elegant art, which was very similar to ancient Greece;

For example: as early as the 3rd century BC, base 20 (only used in modern interstellar navigation) and zero were used; the time it takes for the earth to orbit the sun is accurately calculated, which is the earth year, which is more than ten seconds different from the current solar calendar; there are many exquisite carvings (There were no iron tools or metals at that time)…

The period from the 10th century to the 16th century AD was its period of decline.

Around 800 AD, as if receiving some kind of instruction at the same time, the Mayans suddenly left the prosperous city they had built so hard, abandoned their highly developed civilization, and migrated en masse. The Mayan civilization disappeared overnight in the tropical jungles of the Americas. As time goes by, all civilizations have turned into ruins. When the Spaniards set foot on this land in the 16th century, all they saw were ruins of broken walls and Indians who were still in a primitive state, relying on gathering and hunting for a living.

The reason for the disappearance of the Mayan civilization is unknown, and there are now a lot of speculations: plague, drastic climate change, war, return to the homeland...
