I read this earlier today. Very cool.
Very few ancient cultures had writing that survived or means of recording history. It would be interesting to now how much technology or science attributed to others were actually discovered earlier, then lost when a culture disappeared. I've read some earthen works here in NA rivaled that of the pyramids, but were made of materials that didn't survive like rock.
The truth angers those whom it does not convince

The Native Americans were a lot more civilized in the 1400s thru the 1600s. European plagues initiated "the dark ages" across the Western continents.

There are no doubt many other such sites just waiting to be studied. This was a good read. Thanks to the poster!

Cool stuff!
How many are surprised about science being wrong again?
Sometimes I wonder if a bunch of pompous professors just sit around drinking beer and make schit up.

An unemployed Jester, is nobody's Fool.
the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

At least the evidence is genuine... not like the fraudulently planted evidence to 'prove' Noahs Ark existed.

from the article: As the Spaniards drew near, they spied numerous grass houses along the bluffs. A delegation of Etzanoans bearing round corn cakes met them on the river bank. They were described as a sturdy people with gentle dispositions and stripes tattooed from their eyes to their ears. It was a friendly encounter until the conquistadors decided to take hostages. That prompted the entire city to flee That's what the Spanish did. They pillaged their way through Mexico, central, and south America.

That is fascinating, thanks for posting. A city of 20,000 in Kansas, unreal. Whipped the ass of the Spaniards, then, a century later, had vanished. Probably wiped out by disease.
European diseases really decimated the Indians.
I have visited the mounds at Cahokia, very impressive.
I have also spent a lot of time among the Maya ruins in the Yucatan, at Chichen Itza and Tulum.
You have to hand it to those Mexican Indians, who built pyramids of carved stone 200 feet high, when the apex of technology among US Indians was a dirt mound, a clay pot, and a flint arrowhead. Really makes me wonder about the Chariots of the Gods stuff, if UFOs visited the Maya and gave them a kick start.
