Limestone, calcite, whatever was around, they used it. I’ve never seen it written, but I suspect it has been — the exteriors of the pyramids and other large structures were basically stuccoed and frescoed, and over the centuries of abandonment all of that fell away in the rainy seasons.

Hey, *all* cities are *white privilege city”. ;’) /s

LOL

It would, but probably not gonna happen. Even before the Conquest, the archives of rival cities were destroyed by the victors, who also then savagely tortured the ruler and his family to death over a period of hours or days.

Michael Wood, in his “Conquistadors” documentary (must be available, I got a copy for Xmas) shows an otherwise unknown codex, which survived and has been hidden by the local yokels — the alternative being, it’s post-Conquest in date, and may not be all that useful.

Shh, they think they just had a new idea. ;’)

It’s probably time to do another search for little lost topics about those very types of technology. Meanwhile:

Obama’s spent seven years as POTUS doing what you described.
