A new study compares the highly developed Inca tradition of trepanation with cranial surgery performed during the American Civil War: it finds that survival rates among later Inca cultures was significantly higher than those for 19th-century soldiers, reports Lizzie Wade at Science. The Aztec. were so expert in medicine compared to European physicians that reportedly the Spanish conquistadores preferred to seek help from them instead of barber-surgeons who accompanied the Spaniards to the New World.
Aztec physicians understood the workings of the heart and circulatory system long before Europeans possessed such knowledge. They were familiar with the main details of the internal parts of the heart as well. (Historians generally credit William Harvey, an Englishman who lived between 1578 and 1657, with putting forth the first theory describing the circulatory system) The Aztec language, Nahuatl, even contained a word to describe the throbbing of the heart: tetecuicaliztli.
The Aztec not only developed sophisticated anatomical terminology but also classified the parts of the human body, organising them into systems. In this book Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World, anthropologist Jack Weatherford states: The Nahuatl-speaking doctors developed an extensive vocabulary that identified virtually all of the organs that the science of anatomy recognises today.

The Aztecs had a long literary tradition, with poetic works long before England had its Shakespeare or Spain its Cervantes. Mesoamerica, along with Mesopotamia and China, is one of three known places in the world where writing developed independently. The Aztecs are believed to be among the first to offer universal education at a time when other societies reserved study only for the privileged. All Aztec children went to school, says Harry Patrinos, the lead education economist at the World Bank. It all disappeared after the [Spanish] conquest, and it took a long time before the colonies had any education system. Natives were the first to establish a higher education tradition in the Western hemisphere. the indigenous Mayans, Aztecs and Incas possessed advanced education well before the Spanish arrival of 1492. The Mayans of Central America were perhaps the first to establish advanced education. Historian German Arcineigas calls Copan, the once-thriving Mayan urban center, their seat of learning, their university city. 7 Enrique Oltra, who cites Spanish colonial scholar Diego de Landa as his authority, writes that the Mayans had a large house, like a college of students of our time. 8 Perhaps the scholars now deciphering the Mayan hieroglyphs might give us more information about the early educational history of the ancient Mayan people of Central America.

The Mayan calendar is extremely accurate, Mayan calendar far more accurate than the previous European equivalent, the Julian calendar and the calculations of Maya priests were so precise that their calendar correction is 10, 000th of a day more exact than the standard calendar the world uses today. Of all the ancient calendar systems, the Maya and other Mesoamerican systems are the most complex and intricate. The Olmec lodestone compass predates the Chinese discovery of the geomagnetic lodestone compass by more than a millennium. Mayans were more advanced in mathematics than the Greeks and 15th century Europeans when it came to mathematics. The Maya (and the earlier cultures from which they inherited their number and calendar systems) were using a zero in this way long before it came into use in European mathematics, and probably even before its use in South-East Asia. This note will attempt to place this use of zero in a temporal context to emphasize how remarkable this is.

Correction American Indians, The Native Americans where also dubbed the Know Nothings, and a Political party made by foreign Immigrants. Who then forced their ways onto our reservations and our lifestyles, like the Italians and such who were of dark skin but European. This is why today we are no longer Tribes but Nations because tribes mean its only the people of our blood. Nations means anyone who lives on the land. It was the way some of our people had to settle to get just a little bit, but in reality it spelled our destruction. Thier is still Medicine men or Prophets, and the last great one was framed by the U. S. government a few years back and even though he was exonerated and it made public that he did not commit the crime, he sat in prison until he died. Why? Because he was someone our people followed, Therefore a threat. Sad but true this is the way of life is until the great peace talker returns and the great spirit comes and unites the tribes.

Not only did natives teach Europeans on how to farm on the new land, natives domesticated crops saved Europeans and Europe from starvation and famines back in Europe. Many researchers believe that the potatos arrival in northern Europe spelled an end to famine there. (Corn, another American crop, played a similar but smaller role in southern Europe) More than that, as the historian William H. McNeill has argued, the potato led to empire: By feeding rapidly growing populations, [it] permitted a handful of European nations to assert dominion over most of the world between 1750 and 1950. The potato, in other words, fueled the rise of the West. There was no famines or malnutrition in the Inca empire. It was all eliminated! The Ancient Peruvians spoke Quechua, the language is still spoken nowadays and indeed the terms Famine or Starvation do not exist in Quechua language.

Those Giants before you that were massacred while they slept were almost forgotten You are right your ancestors navigated by the stars and came from Asia and thee Orient but you were not in canoes, you were in Gigantic Wooden ships with Admiral Zheng He a 7ft Arabic Mongolian who worked for the Emperor mapping the planet and the planets that are also on the Ice Shelf Petri Dish type environments, look at the Map found in the Japanese Temple of all the worlds on the Flat Ice Shelf, Admiral Zheng He's fleet that were mapping the land also had a copy or maybe the original

They built rock dwellings up high so they would have a advantage to be away from the giants and their attacks and also see them coming and have a means to flee and defend themselves from them. history is a LIE! We have all been misled and taught, many tribes fought tye ones who lived here before them and beside them, Giants and there were many types aka tribes of Giants that finally faded out or warned and killed eachother and those left either intermingled and befriended natives or were hunted down and killed by mass war parties of the natives.

America was known to the ancient Greeks and the name they had for that continent was Esperia (meaning: the land where the sun sets, the land of night. According to Plato Atlantis sunk around 9000 BC, according to mythology Hercules visited Atlantis on his way to Esperia. It is likely that America was known to the ancient Greeks for over 10 thousand years before the Europeans.
Dont bother me with mainstream history.

I feel the Aztecs moved from the Mississipi River, after a major earthquake destroyed they're city. They roamed down through the south crossing over the now Mexico Border and arrived in what is now Mexico City. A prior civilization had built a city here; the Aztec People built on top of these much older structures. Mexico City Metro found structures and a deeper foundation below that of the newer Aztec Construction.

I like how every countries in other continents like Europe and Asia were busy in creating empires and spreading imperialism but only Natives Americans were creating 'civilization' at that time
Unpopular opinion: mayans and other native civilizations were better than roman empire, you called them barbaric but look at your own roman empire and its barbarity before pointing on others

I believe Medici family and other enlightened lordships started pacific contacts decades before Cristoforo Colombo. But Lorenzo il Magnifico was forced to leave all claims on the new territories to the Spaniards (via the Pope) in exchange for the maintenance of independence for Florence.
The story would have been completely different.

Native Americans were great, but, at the same time, brave Portuguese and Spanish sailors were able to get to Americas on their perfect ships and to subjugate locals with their smart weapons. They did it. Also, those ordinary Portuguese and Spanish guys had wheel transport back home, but Indigenous Americans didn't.

They literally just found Roman shipwreck near Panama lmao lets ignore that, and also ignore that they sacrificed themselves (literally) out of existence. Not only do the elites teach improper history, they vilify those who made this work so comfortable

What a load of woke prioto-communist drivel! The idea that we, linking hand-to-mouth savages to the advanced yet bloodthirsty Mayans and Aztecs and Inca is the same as British people trying to link to the ancient Greeks and Romans!

Yet there are still lies about the Giza pyramids as being built as tombs.
It has been proven these pyramids are much older than they appear maybe 12, 000 years and were some sort of mechanism.
