Octavio Paz once wrote: "Life is plurality, death is uniformity. By suppressing differences and pecularities, by eliminating different civilizations and cultures, progress weakens life and favors death. The ideal of a single civilization for everyone, implicit in the cult of progress and technique, impoverishes and mutilates us. Every view of the world that becomes extinct, every culture that disappears, diminishes a possibility of life"
Nobody discovered anywhere when there were people already living in that place. I hate it when documentary channels and scientists say that someone discovered a place. The same narrative they push around with regards to African continent and her people.
True. People of Asia, Africa and Meso America were waiting to be discovered by them. That's what they think. It is our misfortune that they discovered us. We were far from perfect, had our vices, our problems every thing. But the way they exploited and destroyed everything, we would have been better off on our own.
I get what you're saying, but at the same time the locals obviously abandoned these places and in too many cases didn't care to return or preserve that history. Worse yet is when radicals and other zealots like Isis in the Middle East destroy their own people's historical sites and artifacts because the religion demands everything before it be wiped out.
except recent news is a lot of this 20 year old documentary is out of date and the game they talk about is not a game due to a discovery of one unlike any before it.

Never mind the architecture. Focus on the cannibalism and human sacrifice. All hail the wonderful Judaeo-Christian tradition that toppled these barbarians!
That is a colonial myth to get permission and money from the church and king to plunder by lying and calling them cannibals. But , Cristians drink the blood of Christ and Europeans ate mummies so who are the real barbarians? Check ur biases and get the truth.
Could you imagine living like that now
No technology no car just clean fresh air and the peace just hearing sounds of nature.
Wounder who would agree
Nice documentary about the Maya: Lost Cities in the jungle. Excellent video editing and the narratives makes it more interesting to watch.

Gotta be a troll, cause that's not a hill anyone should want to die on 😂. Your blasphemous European dark age alone is embarrassing.
