Pre-Columbian Civilizations

There are many cultures out there that could be researched and followed back to the beginning of when their culture and people were created. There are also many methods that you could use to find out how that population was started and where they were originated. However there are a select few out there that don’t have the same luck when it comes to finding their roots and true history. Knowledge about pre-Columbian civilizations comes from two main sources: archaeological remains and the accounts written by European white men. A result of the Conquest by the Europeans they Aztec, Mayan, and Inca Civilizations were virtually wiped out. There was a major loss to humanity here, first of all it destroyed many Ideas of these people that do not affect or Present day thinking. The history of these civilizations mysterious and as a result of the Conquest people of today know little of nothing about these Grand Civilizations that once flourished the new world.
Knowing that we are getting our history from either the white man or the remains of a person of that time period to one is a shame, it makes one feel that these cultures must have had something perfect that scared the white man, because they didn’t waste much time getting rid of anybody that had knowledge about the land prior to the invasion. They also didn’t mind teaching the young Indians to what they believed was the proper way to live. Of course this was only possibly if the Indians were captured and left over after a big battle.
Furthermore cultures had been flourishing thousands of years before the Europeans arrived to the New World. Great empires such as the Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas inhabited the vast lands of Central and South America. These three major powers controlled the land before Columbus or Cortez was even born. Although the Pre-Columbian civilizations and the Europeans shared some similar ideas, life was very different in the New World compared with that of Middle Age Europe.
