it's interesting how america is so isolated that throughout this entire video, you never even consider whats happening in eurasia. it seems like a totally different reality.

[mysterious]

I was doing homework but this is more important

[tibodeclercq]

There is also some speculation that some Polynesians could have reached South America through the pacific ocean.

[jtom]

I’m glad the Mississippians got a mention. Though I wish the ancient Pueblo cultures were at least mentioned.

That's crazy of how much history we still don't know in the Americas. This video didn't even mention the Amazonian tribes, Guarani tribes on south Brazil, Paraguay and north Argentina, the various Tupi tribes on almost all coastal Brazil, the Ge tribes on interior Brazil, the Carib tribes on North Venezuela and Caribbean. Man, and probably many others that I don't know or we didn't even discovered yet. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying that the Americas pre-european is also as rich of history as Eurasia, Africa and Oceania, we just don't know about it, and people usually ignore it. Human history is full of diversity and differences, it's awesome!

Nice video man, aprecciate!

A new civilization rises on the western coast of south america

I find it fascinating what inventions develop completely independently from when they were invented in Eurasia. It gives us an idea of what ideas seem to just come about organically (whatever that means) if a human/animal/alien is cognitively advanced enough. In the Americas' case, they also invented writing, irrigation, etc totally on their own accord.

When you really think about it, Mayans are like the Greeks, divided into smaller states competing with each other, but ultimately the most important cultural center of mesoamerica, while the aztecs are like the Roman's, copying a lot of the culture but then being the famous empire.

[seamuspink]

It's interesting how agricultural centralized societies developed mainly in Mexico and Peru while in the plains of North America and Argentina people were still nomadic or lightly settled just like the great Steppes in Europe/Asia

[hanpratama]

5:40 So, that "2012" movie became a thing just because the end of Mayan's first calendar cycle?

[Odrysian]

Columbus: Nice land you have there
It would be shame if somebody
*DISCOVERED IT*

[canagd]

I sure hope the Mayans can deal with this external threat. I guess I’ll have to wait for the next video to find out!

Caral Pyramids and civilization are older than Egypt's. There are incredible sites predating Caral like Bandurria. You also forgot to include the creation of potatoes, originally poisonous, small and toxic roots modified for thousands of years by andean farmers, starting 10, 000 years ago. The Moche are also known for their gigantic pyramid like structures. And the Inca's achievements are countless in regards to government, engineering, agriculture, architecture, administration, stonework, messagery, medicine, and mathematics. Amazonian natives also had complex societies with over ten million people. Unfortunately not too many people know.

I'm surprised you didn't bring up the Toltec Empire, an Empire that was far larger that the Aztec

[coreys]

I’m loving this channel. The map and year with the narrating is awesome

[ДеннисЧернышевский]

Oh yeah, the maya calendar.
I remember it, in 2012 some people who really believed that thing went to a small town somewhere in France to be saved from the upcoming disaster.
But it never happened ....

Incan emperor Huayna Qhapaq was already in Ecuador building a city since he had a mission regarding the expansion of the Empire in modern day Colombia. He didn't go to meet Spaniards because he did not know and did not care about them. He had heard of Europeans way before the expedition from which he contracted the ilness. Spaniards and Portuguese had been kicked out of Incan territory for a decade before Pizarro's third expedition, only with the civil war were they successful in crossing the borders of Tawantinsuyu by being loyal to one of the Incan factions.
