2. There's so very much to learn about all of the Americas' actual civilizations.

I'm certain the lack of interest is directly connected to the fact Europeans saw all of the original citizens of the Americas as their inferiors, and devalued them from the moment they arrived to conquer them and steal their homelands.

(Amazing some of the descendants of European immigrants currently imagine others are trying to "replace" them! No one vile enough to take their places at their Nazi meetings!)

With any luck, we will be able to learn far more in the future as new technology evolves, like ground-penetrating radar, etc. and testing methods, to reveal the information so many of us deeply would love to learn.

Chaco aerial images are astonishing. It had to have been an enormous culture.

Thank you, First Light.
