The teacher made us watch this for homework. And I still didn't dislike, because of this mans enthusiasm. Like where do you teach, we need more teachers like you in the world.

it does seem like Teotihuacan was not an empire but how do we explain its significant cultural legacy in precolumbian americas? i think much like some some large ancient cities in Europe, its probably a wealthy city brought about either by its strategic trading location or a monopoly in some rare-earth resources plus specific unique skill of the people there which, in turn, just grow organically as the best tradespeople/craftsmans settled around it. sort of like the mesoamerican version of 1800s new york.

How about Aztlan being older than Hindustani writings, the pictagraphs of Aztlan are older than Egyptian, the Carbon Dating by Smithsonian not the comparison with the British Antiquities, as well as Aztlan being compared to middle eastern old world civilization, not independent thinking seperate from Old World, as 2 oceans seperated Aztec Incan Mayan civilizations from Old World Civilizations, even the name Aztlan is shown on Ancient Emerald Tablet at Giza where did that Emerald tablet originate from as the Americas (Turtle Island) is known for Emeralds.

0:49 It seems as if the Vedic Rishis (Sages) had communicated with the Mayans, and vice versa... Check out some of the ancient monuments or temples coordinates that are aligning with East, West, North, and South

The Maya calendar was not a good solar calendar as it had 365 days in a year which of course accrues error and shifts through the seasons. So its not correct to say it was more accurate than the Julian calendar - definitely not as a solar calendar which would naturally be the most useful to us
