the weird thing is that the troy from the odyssey was dated to like 1190BC and was actually troy 7, the 7th troy build on that site and it wasnt the last either

Rutibex posted:no, the Mayans were around about the same time as the Roman Empire. well into the iron age in europe. yeah, preclassic, classic and postclassic mayans lasted thousands of years starting around 2000BC, hitting high gear around the fall of Rome, and lasting well into medieval times. the aztecs were contemporaries of the renaissance, which is weird to think about. the thing about the mesoamerican states is that its hard to tell where one ended and another began, in a timescale sense. olmec, zapotec, mayan, toltec, aztec, etc. they all have rough beginning and ending estimates, but the only one that has a clean break of a beginning is the aztecs.

Meskhenet posted:Didin't the Mayan use obsidian, which was better than low quality iron? (at least for weaponry and stuff) yeah, and a weird counterintuitive face about mesoamerican warfare is that, unlike the rest of the world, its purpose wasn’t to kill but to maim. that way, the victor got to drag back some captives for human sacrifice. they were big on blunt instruments as well
