btw Mayan, like all indigenous tribes of the Americas kept most of their beliefs in vocal form and are not maintained by written form. they are handed down from person to person and do not rely on any records being kept or saved, those are for the ignorant whites that come along.
Any evidence for this claim? Probably not.
In general, people with written languages record things in writing. People without writing record things orally. Mesoamerican cultures had writing.
Labeling whites as ignorant is a racist comment, not the first you've made.
in general i could care less about a trolls comments, but please carry on, if stroking your ego becomes you. white's were in fact ignorant of native way's and many still are today, unless of course you would like to teach us all of your indigenous cultural wisdom?
How were all priests killed off if any population lived through the "Spanish Conquest"?
USING YOUR LOGIC, which is all I see in your posting history, The German Leader of the Socialist Nationalist Party didn't kill all the Rabbi's of the Jewish Faith.
Neither did the Conquistador's kill all the Mayan Priests.
I find your postings rather arrogant, and with a certain air about them that you are trying to tell people exactly how things are, and to follow the written word from mainstream science and archeology.
it's my thread
I didn't say I was my forum and you are entitled to post anywhere you wish.
The name of the thread was a shorter version for the video title, and no heratage would not guarantee knowledge. how do you "know" the Mayans do not know? How do you know all knowledge was lost? How do you know? Or is it what you have been shown to believe? Because what you believe makes it truth, to you. There is no real proof that anything is the truth so it comes down to trust. Do you trust 100% that the early invaders managed to kill all priests ect and kill of all knowledge? Or could they have cut corners but written the whole thing out to make it seem like a Proper job?
1% doubt should be enough for you to have a open mind.

1. This is not your thread. This is an open forum.
2. If the current Mayans knew ancient Mayan information then it would have been easy to decode the ancient Mayan writing.
3. I did not state that all knowledge was lost
The issue is not me. The issue is the con artist in the video. People discussed other posters when they have nothing to say.
