Where would the Mayan people be now if not for European intervention?

>>2974125
Probably constant warfare, sacrifices still going on, the Central American Maya were particularly savage

WE WOULD BE BUILDING STARGATES AND SHIET

They could've been given the japan treatment and Mexico would probably look a lot better had that been the case, instead they got the africa treatment and now mexico might aswel be africa.

Europeans never interracted with the mayans

>>2974125
same as the aztecs probably killed by some other nig tribe or killed by a couple of bad harvests

>>2974129
Is it the "Japan treatment" or the "Germany treatment".

>>2974132
Spaniards did

>>2974125
European intervention was the direct result of technological progress so your hypothetical is only a possibility in a world where such progress would not happen.

The scenario you describe would per definition be a world in stasis before modernity, so the only answer to the question 'where would the Mayans be in a world without progress?' would be 'exactly where we found them.

>>2974125

Mayans were done for as a great civilization when the Spanish arrived.

>>2974125
With the resources.and new.found trade partners they would have developed quickly because of their already complicated empirical government if left alone like.japan central and south america would have thrived but now they're mixed with niggers and it had centuries of communism and decades of us intervention.

>>2974136
Yeah, without England most countries would have stayed frozen on their own savage status quo.

>>2974137
This. It was the Aztecs that were the people running the show in Middle America/Northern South America when the Spaniards landed.

>>2974135
They didn't. The Mayan civillization had disapearred long before the spanish set foot on America. They found the incans and azteks instead

>>2974137

>>2974137
This.
They were in the middle of a decade long drought, a massive famine, and disease was rampant.

They also managed to completely befoul their groundwater for almost 50 years by dumping the bodies of sacrifices into the headwaters of their only river.

The Spaniards didn't even do anything to them. They were dying already.

Living happily near clean rivers and forests full of life and food, not having to spend half of their life working for Mr.Shekelstein and having their minds filled with Marxist bullshit in an overpopulated wasteland.

>They could've been given the japan treatment

Japan only got the Japan treatment because prior to it's isolation, it recieved an innoculation of Westernism from the two mildest strains of Western Expansionism, Dutch and Portugese, and they expelled the more culturally aggressive of the two. This gave the Dutch a profitable monopoly of access, making it in the interest of the Dutch to keep other Europeans out of Japan. Furthermore, through the Dutch the Japanese were able to keep abreast of Western affairs and technological advances even while refraining from engaging with them.

Such a scenario is impossible for the Maya, the only path before them was the Africa route. Japan was incredibly lucky.

The mayan weren't around anymore man.

This is what the Americas would've been like if Europeans had minded their own business

>>2976240
Theres millions of them today.

>>2976503
There's millions of Assyrians today too, but asking "What would the Assyrians be like if the Ottomans hadn't happened" is still kind of a stupid question.

The truth, they'd probably get back on their feet at some point. The Aztecs sure weren't gonna last forever.

If OP is still around, I could probably spend like 10 minutes coming up with a decent alt-his scenario.

>>2976258
ayoo hol up cracka u sayin we woulda brought our pyrameedz 2 america? damn nigga u dum

>>2974125

I think you are correct anon

>>2976560

The Maya still exist in large numbers, dumb-dumb. Their civilization died out before the Spanish arrived, but their culture exists to this day.

They definitely still had a civilization by the time of the Spanish contact. The error you're making is you're thinking of the Classical collapse of the 9th century. But in that same time Maya culture reemerged with great power in the Yucatan peninsula, and when those cities fell new ones popped up while in Guatemala Maya mercenaries (worked for the Toltecs) of gulf coast invaded the local Maya of that country and established new kingdoms. These cities were destroyed and burnt to the ground when the Spaniards invaded.
