      God I wish all those codices weren’t burned. Or even that the surviving ones were made of sturdier material. Somehow even with all AI technology I’m not holding my breath for any digital reconstructions of those rotted lumps.

          A miraculous wind like what saved Japan from the Mongol invasions would indeed not have been uncalled-for.

      I agree with your point, but most Mayan cities in the region had been depopulated (not enough water is one theory) hundreds of years before colonization.

      Sorry to be that guy.
