Take a chill pill, man.

Yeah, ok, you've changed my mind, you're clearly not mentally ill. lol.

Um, why would I be mentally ill for what the Chinese believed? Am I mentally ill for liking dragons? Like it would be much different if I called myself Black Dragon, or Ice Dragon. Grow up man. If you have issue with me, then just say it. Then I know whether to ignore your ass, or not.

Jade, let me make this simple: I think you're dumb.

You can stop replying to me, I don't like you.

Of the ancient pre-Columbian civilizations, I have always found the Incas to be more impressive than the Aztecs and the Mayans.

Definitely the most land. What about the Toltecs?

Good, get lost trash bug. I actually almost thought you had more tact then the lifeless dregs, masturbating opinions here. FYI You're the one responding to me on a post from a month, or two ago. Giving me shit over a friendly discussion, about screen names, and what they might mean. You've actually been quoting several things to me. In fact I think it's normally you quoting me, more then most. I'm one of the few here late nights, so I guess you haven't had much choice. You want to call me dumb here? I think you have a misunderstanding of what intellect is. Truthfully this place is rare for intellect. Even if you have it, you don't need to use that much here. Oh well. IGNORE.

Never really got much info on them. One thing I liked the most about the Incas was the development of the ancient world's longest roadways with that land.

Did you by chance happen to see what they found about the Mayans using LIDAR to strip away the jungle canopy. It is truly mind boggling.

I guess it would help explain how they were able to place their structures so well.

Cant argue that point. Did you know that the Aztec Calendar was the most accurate astronomical calendar devised by man till the advent of micro-computers?

On what basis?

Gibson certainly took extreme liberties with historical fact but he got much right and his accomplishment in recreating a bygone civilization was remarkable.

Tough question. The Toltecs had long been an extinct Civilization when the Incas and Aztecs were at their height. We simply don’t know much about them other than the ruins of their impressive architecture. We don’t even know what they called themselves. Toltec is what the Nahuatl speakers (I.E. the Aztecs) called them.

I believe the Aztecs had the greater Empire in terms of Land area. They controlled, either directly or indirectly, most of modern day Mexico and even the other nations that existed at that time in Mexico, like the Olmecs, spoke Nahuatl and were subject nations to the Aztecs via military conquest. The Incas controlled most of the Andies region, a long but narrow region and the Aztecs and their subject nations had a larger population.
