Vast majority of every civilization was living in shit huts at any given period before the industrial revolution.
>>
>>3141586
As impressive as sites like Uxmal and Palenque are, the Mayan pyramids are more in the category of elite piles of stone and not archeological wonders like the Great Pyramid, for example, which was fully constructed from lined & cut stone and has interior entry. (I don't believe any of the Mayan pyramids has any form of interior within the center of the pyramid; at best, there may be a single-room structure sitting atop the pyramid.
>>

>le Greece and Rome are not Europe maymay
>>
>>3141597
Even a mudhut is more architecturally sophisticated than a ziggurat. Ziggurats are literally "we just discovered agriculture and suddenly have manpower to burn" tier.
>>
the only impressive thing about pyramids are the logistics involved to move massive stones and work on them until they have the desired shape.

Other than that it's just a pretty pile of rocks with no architecture involved like mathematics or higher knowledge of static
>>
>>3141590
They actually developed the arch in the early postclassic period, during the Puuc period. And in the Late classic period built one of the largest earliest suspension bridges. I mean can you name any stone age civ that developed similar architecture in Europe?

Mayas had mudhuts too, that's where the commoners lived.

It was during the Mayas stone age. Remember that natives in the Americas had a late headstart when they settled the Americas. The chronology in one hemishpere cannot be applied to another when development occurs differently. By the time of the Spanish arrival they were on the onset of a Copper-Bronze age.

And yet you are trying to do just that.

Someone claimed that they never advanced beyond zigurats in an over a thousand year period. I am simply saying there was development in those years.

>I mean can you name any stone age civ that developed similar architecture in Europe?
No, because the architecture in question would have been so old that it would have been torn down and buitl over again by later civilizations.

>>Mayan civ peaked as Rome was weakening
It peaked 100-400 years before with El Mirador, the city reached a population of 250 000 people, i.e. 25% of Rome's population with only 7% of the arable land supplying Rome.

>Mayan civ was declining as Charlemagne was being made Emperor
It literally formed a league of city-states (pretty much like the holy roman meme) a century later, the league lasted almost 500 years, quite more than the 90 years of the carolingian empire

>As it peak power ended the HRE came to dominate central Europe
At that point the HRE have been around for 500 years, the Mayans were continually relevant from at least 600 BC, literally as ancient as the Greeks.

>the birth of new kingdoms in Europe dominated this period
Mayans were doing this since 600 bc

>Denmark, Sweden, Norway, England, Scotland, France, Castile, Portugal, Aragon, Kievan Rus
All of them mudhut tier until civilized by the Romans, which the Mayans predated by at least 100 years. On top of that the Mayans had to develope their civilization on their own. There was no Middle East to give them writting, mathematics, iron, beasts of burden, architecture, etc.

There's nothing equal to it in the rest of the world and its engeneering much more impressive than a bunch of arches stached over each other if you ask me.

You have many fair points, but to say its engineering is more impressive than say, the Pantheon or the Hagia Sophia is maybe a bit of a stretch.

He's right though. Have you seen the size of El Mirador? La Danta the city's main temple is larger than the pyramids of egypt.

The entire structure is 172 meters making it one of the largest in the world.

>El Mirador cuenta con la Pirámide de La Danta la más alta de los mayas (72 m), y de América, y una de las mayores del mundo, midiendo todo el complejo de piramides 170 metros de altura, con un volumen de 2,800,000 m3, 200.000 más que la Gran Pirámide de Keops en Egipto. La Pirámide de El Tigre, de 55 m es la segunda mayor del sitio, la National Geographic Society, filmó aquí el Documental El Amanecer de Los Mayas en el 2005. Un reciente estudio realizado por el arqueólogo guatemalteco Carlos Morales-Aguilar comprobó que la ciudad de El Mirador fue planificada desde su inicio, y a su vez se encontraron numerosas alineaciones entre varios edificios muchos de los cuales sirvieron como puntos de observación astronómico. Estos estudios han registrado fenómenos interesantes relacionados a la traslación del sol y la luna en ciertas épocas del año.

>The magnitude of El Mirador is staggering, though less than 10% of it is excavated. Mossy stone temples, crumbling guard towers and gleaming white staircases stand among the thick jungle.

>We picked our way around sprawling El Tigre, Los Monos and La Danta temple complexes made of limestone platforms topped by three pyramids. Jaguar masks were carved into monuments, and remnants of elevated causeways connected it all like ancient superhighways.

>Archaeologists believe this was once the largest city in the Western Hemisphere, with as many as 200,000 people and a million more in surrounding cities.

You're retarded. You built with what you have. Many Europeans moved into new territory in Western Europe that was untamed wilderness. Do you genuinely expect them to have prepackaged societies?

Wrong. The progress of civilization and the accumulation of knowledge started again on America. Yet Amerindians got quicker to the beginning of the bronze age in less time compared to eurangutans.

Fact of the matter is very simple. The Mesoamericans failed only in one thing - evolution. Their downfall were the dirt and germs the Europeans carried with them. And I say that again, it's only them that failed to adapt, not the Africans, not the far east Asians not even the Inuits.
