TELL ME ABOUT THE MAYANS!
They really like eating corn, and new age retards tend to misinterpret every posible aspect of their culture, especially calendar (remember the 2012 meme). also watch Apocalypto, top tier movie.

They live in Yucatán, read Popol Vuh
Don't watch apocalipto
They're a great example of what happens when a population outgrows environmental carrying capacity.
People like taking credit for their culture and achievements but spit on the natives that created it
They wuz ayyliums and shit
>>62161279
What do you want to know?
>>62161419
This; Apocalypto as shite, but it looked pretty.
>>62161452
This too. As of late we've got pretty good at shitting on them in return though. Tourism revenue goes a long way.
>>62161452
>the natives that created it
they are long gone
>>62161548
Teotihuacanos & Aztecs are gone. There are still plenty of Nahuas & Mayas around.
>>62161548
I live in Yucatan. They're still here. They're pretty much indigenous and ALL of them are brown like the Aztecs. The social classes are pretty much separated by the following:
>Mestizo - Medium to very high class
>Indigenous - Low class
>>62161581
The difference is they were conquered and assimilated, they're no longer the same people who developed those impressive civilizations, colonization changed them
>>62161618
A lot of them aren't assimilated at all especially in places like Yucatan & QR. Like >>62161613 says theyre still there in pretty big numbers existing pretty much the same as 100 years ago in rural zones. Most of my extended family was from Yucatan and they couldn't even speak Spanish.
they wuz kangs until the evul white spaniards killed them all by breathing on them.
how did they go from that to modern mexicans
>>62162017
A Caste system, corrupt criollos and a general anti-intellectual policies and apathy all reinforced by the Catholic church at the time. Basically they wanted the people from lower castes to be as dumb and malleable as possible, but that mindset also ended up transferring to mestizos and eventually to all sectors of Mexican society. Apathy and the belief that most Mexicans are genetically inferior is what holds the country back the most.
