| Soonerman said: Actually, the Mayans were the first to discovered the earth was round. The figured the shadow cast over the earth by the Sun made the earth curve around. They also were the first to discover that the earth gravitated around the sun. But because we live in a Euro-western dominated society, books will not acknowledge the Mayan as an advance culture that discovered things before most European scientists. Btw, if indigenous population were savages, where did the corn come from? Corn is the only produce that cannot grow by itself so, was it created by the American people back then? |
Mayans had good astrology.
Im not sure if they ever proved the earth wasnt flat.
They where probably the first to fly though :) with hot air balloons.
Thats like saying christopher columbus was the first to discover america.
Vikings had been to canada and america long before then.
Go back even future to the people that migrated there (20,000+ years ago), and became known as indians.
Im amazed they had working ovens with chimneys back then.
