It’s cool. But when I hear “American history”, my mind doesn’t go to the Amazon River. Although, technically is in in an American continent.
Gives one pause about the stories of Nephites and Laminites.
What about "HS"? (Human sacrifice)
Never trust plants. Plants have a long history of doing this sort of thing.
Maybe they were an advanced civilization before going woke....and then going broke.

And then ceasing to exist.
The civilizations in the middle east precede that one by at least 1500 years.
Yep “urban planners”, give me a physical break! How about slave driving, bloodthirsty, pagan tyrants?
Come on man, it was clearly climate change!
Socialism and DEI wiped out another civilization.
Hahahahahahahaha!
No kidding!
“We have a Eurocentric view of civilization, but this shows we have to change our idea about what is culture and civilization.”
This moron thought that before he knew anything about this super awesomely complex city.
“But they say we’ll have to abandon our “Eurocentric” view of history?”
Yes. Our “Eurocentric” view of history has always lauded previous non-European civilizations.
And if one is buried in jungle growth and it takes modern sensors to find it, that does not mean an “Eurocentric” view of history covered it over.
A few years ago, I bought a much heralded biography of Andrew Jackson. Opened it and was astonished to see that it was written from the viewpoint that Jackson was a white supremacist. I put it down and never finished it.
It turns out that Jackson wanted to perpetuate the American people, and that is now considered racist.
Not too surprising that it is in that area. America around the equator has a great climate, you can grow a lot of stuff year round very quickly. Daylight is the same year round, temps 75 at night 90 during the day, plenty of rain. An ocean nearby helps when you need fish.
CLIMATE CHANGE!
Thousands of years ago the Sahara was a grain growing meadow land before it became desert. Maybe the SA jungle was the same for a while.
Hey, you never can tell!
I wa5ched a Josh hates expedition once where they used Arial lidar which uncovered hidden myan or aztec cities that you couldn’t see when standing on the ground. Apparently there are vast cities hidden by the jungle vegetation- and they haven’t even scra5ched the surface yet- a lot remains to be uncovered
Jimmah was an alien, that’s why
Hasn’t American History been rewritten already?
So skilled that their “civilization” got overtaken by plants?
