Meanwhile Europeans were making guns.

The Appian Way, yes, way,way before the Incas!

the bases needed to be connected by good roads for easy access and supply from Rome. The Appian Way was used as a main route for military supplies since its construction for that purpose in 312 B.C.

From the article:

“Kevin Gover, the director of the National Museum of the American Indian, says the road is largely forgotten because it just doesn’t fit into a typical Western narrative.
“Indians play one of two roles in that narrative,” he says. “They are either the opponents of civilization or they are literally part of the nature that was there to be settled and conquered. We’re not taught that some of these were very advanced civilizations, because that means this wasn’t a wilderness. And that means somebody had to be displaced. And it wasn’t necessarily a noble endeavor.”

Yes. They were quite skilled for a culture just barely out of the Stone Age. They were very good at fitting blocks together and knowing where the stars would be, and they were on the verge of creating writing. My ancestors had a similar stage of development about 2500 years ago, before the Greeks and Romans brought civilization to them.

Oh yes the Incas were so advanced and influential at 3’ tall

Our superiors in every way

Does any studies tht ends in “_____ology” of humanity not exist today to find any evidence real or imagined to diminish European civilization and white accomplishment as either stolen or inferior

Meanwhile just look at the world and tell me who’s the liar in this charade?
