Once Upon A Time in Latin America (2) Opening words: American Civilization


Here, I would pursue the same and difference among the three major Civilizations in the Americas: Maya Civilization, Incan Civilization, and Raztec Civilization. Due to more than 10,000-year-old's evolution in the new continent independent of the old continent, if the new and old continents produced cultural expressions simultaneously, they belonged to the human inevitable culture, e.g., Religion, monarchy, trade, agriculture, military, education, and commercial currency. The difference, on the other hand, belonged to the contingency culture, for example, ironware, carriage wheel, livestock, and industry. Furthermore, since these civilizations were destroyed by Spain, it is possible to study the subsequent Spanish colonial culture and the evolution of religious conflict.

 Figure 4: The giant candlestick landmark in Pascale Island, Peru, pointing to the land of the Nazca Line, is said to have a history of 2000, which is also a mystery.

 Figure 6: Chichen Itza Pyramid in Cancun, Mexico, a masterpiece of the postclassical Maya, is mixed with Toltec civilization

 Figure 7: The Mayan Ruins in Palenque, Mexico, a classic work from the Mayan Classic period, which unearthed a plate similar to the astronauts, proved that the pyramid was used not only for sacrifices but also for tombs like in Egypt.
