Lidar + AI recognition might result in mapping everything out there. Researchers would have to spend time coming up with a way to rank potential sites for close examination instead of actually excavating things randomly
I can imagine the conquistadors burned everyone and anything within its borders.
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.
While we’re wishing, I kinda wish the Europeans had all died in a horrific shipwreck on the way over.
A miraculous wind like what saved Japan from the Mongol invasions would indeed not have been uncalled-for.
Or just a big dude who raped them all to death and took their money. Either way.
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.
