If anything, the mesoamericans (aztecs, etc) are, since they built shit on par with the greeks and romans without even having any metalworking for non-deocrative metals other then some limited copper, and right as the spanish were showing up, super early tin-arsenic bronzes, niether of which was really used for anything beyond ceremonial shit anyways.

Yet they had cities that at many points in history were in the top 5 largest cities in the world and had some of the most advanced waterworks and irrigation technology on the planet

you must not be Burgerclap or you went to a really shitty public school, the only reason the Spanish were able to take Tenochtitlan is because the Aztecs were massive assholes who enslaved their conquered foes, which lead to them having a lot of unloyal vassals etc. The conquistadors were the outside influence that tipped that balance.
>>
>>384342185
if aztecs so smart how come they never invent wheel
>>
>>384342421

The only reason you think that is because Cortez downplayed how many natives they had helping them out. Nobody around the aztecs liked them because the aztecs were top dog and killing all the other people around them.

I think it was like 5:1 ratio of natives to cortez men, either way it wasnt only a few spaniards it was literally native 'mexicans' killing the top power at the time and the spaniards simply banded them together with their hate for aztecs

>>384342421
This is really complicated, but the tl;dr answer is:

1. Since the cities were so densely populated, smallpox and diseases spread super fast.

2. The region was geopolitically instable due to Aztec expansionism and imperalism at the time, so other groups that wanted to topple them used the Spanish as figureheads to mobilize around. The final army that sieged the aztec captial had only around 1500-2000 spanish, but over 200,000 Tlaxcallan and Tontac soldiers, and the Aztec cities themselves all erupted into civil wars as this was going on.

It wouldn't be inaccurate to say that the spanish themselves didn't conquer them, but other natives and smallpox did.

>>384342690
>>384342748
>>384342998
Wasn't really a huge factor. Obviously it was *a* factor, but there were plenty of battles where native groups won pretty handedly (such as when the Tlaxcallans intially beat them before deciding to spare them to use against the aztecs), Better weapons and armor only does so much when you are in territory you don';t understand and have limited numbers and no real supply lines, wheras your oppenents live in the area, know it all, and have established logistics and organized army structures with far larger numbers.

Also, In general, the mesoamericans fielded larger armies then what would have been typical in europe, not uncommonly in mutliple hunderds of thousands.

>>384342879
they did, pic related.

The better question is "Why didn't they use wheels for stuff other then toys", and the answer is probably "They didn't have any animals to attach carts to, and the region is pretty hilly, and densely forested where it's not hilly, so having carts and wheelbarrows wasn't that much better then carrying shit on their backs anyways"

probably but honestly we'll never really know. so much of the splendor of the ancient world was either razed, robbed, or destroyed by nature. the pyramid casing stones were all looted, the sphinx was buried up to its head in sand for fuck knows how long before thutmose and rameses finally re-excavated it. then you had shit like the alexandria lighthouse and halicarniassus which were obliterated by earthquakes. who knows how much awesome shit was out there that we don't know about because we don't know it existed.

there are still around 11 million Coptic Christians in Egypt

though, that number is steadily decreasing with churches being attacked and kidnappings of young coptic girls that are being forced into marriages with muslims
>>
>>384343703
Mainly because the disease killed a ridiclious number of the native population, even the Tlaxcallans, who were granted tons of special rights and didn't have their land enroached on afterwards due to helping the spanish, had their native population decreased 95% by 1600 just due to epidemics.

Also, obviously, the spanish themsevles were sort of in charge and as a result directed much of the resulting social structure after aztec influence in the region fell. Though, in a lot of cases, native groups thepm,selves didn't really/respect understand this, so in many places, people were paying taxes to both the spanish and other native groups, were both of them thought they were the ones in charge of that area, unaware the other thought the same thing.

That's debatable because Cleopatra was just one ruler out of many, and even if so, the Romans certainly didn't destroy Egypt and Egyptians. While the damage done to the library is regrettable, it was an accident. Muslim invasions were deliberate and aimed to eradicate them completely. If someone wants your economy, it's always wiser to keep as many things intact as possible. Ideologically driven conquests on the other hand are different.

>>384345792
Yes, one of the most established port cities in all the world was a center of trade, agriculture and wealth. However, the influx of Christianity and persecution of local religious practices that originally led to the construction of these great monuments eventually led to the collapse of the infrastructure responsible for their construction and maintenance.
Christianity's fear of all things Pagan burned a great jewel of culture and beauty from the world.

The Meso-Americians let it happen because they had no concept of any medicine besides holistic and refused to use their vast land to seperate the population. Aka what we smart people call "Quarentine". Also they had invaders during the time who fucked them up and were immune. So maybe if the mayans were advanced enough and literally realized "Hey we should leave for a bit" they'd still be alive.

Egypt's native people were kept in abject poverty starting during Ptolemaic rule, and through Roman rule. However, Roman rule saw to the dismantling of local religions. Only locals were taxed, Greeks and Romans largely exempted. All the while Egypt was the largest provider of agricultural goods in the entire empire. Compound this with relatively unrewarded conscription, regular religious conflict(mostly Jews, actually), and eventually the death of local culture. We had no more priests or scholars left who could even decipher our own history. Then Islam came after we lost all national identity.

Nonsense, Greek's ruled and made their language the default for administrative affairs, but they accepted Demotic language as long as it was business between Egyptians only. The language was never forced out, Egyptian priests spoke it, the people spoke it, and so on. Only in admin affairs was it pushed out, which is relatively understandable. If anything it only caught on because it was an easier language to become literate in and because a far higher percent of Greeks were literate compared to Egyptians. Greeks did little to dismantle anything in Egypt. If anything they went to great lengths to adopt anything Egyptian they could, so as to keep the peace. Romans were abusive as all get, but the Greeks were pretty fair, far more so than pretty much any other foreigner controlling empire I can think of. Greeks didn't screw the Egyptians, Romans and Ottomans did.
>>
>>384350436
You're going to need to provide sources for that. Tacitus writes that Augustus was keen to have many elements of Egyptian bureaucracy overseen directly by his people because of the economic opportunity the region presented -
but this was a matter of finance, not culture or religion. Rome supported the building of a great many Egyptian religious and cultural works. There is no evidence that they made any attempt to repress local culture. Quite the opposite occurred; many of the Roman elite went so far as to engage in Egyptian cult practices at times. I remember something about the Emperor Commodus in particular, in his guise as Hercules incarnate, engaging in the ceremonial veneration of the goddess Isis.

I won't argue that it wasn't a time of great wealth flowing through Egypt, but comparatively little of that wealth went back into Egypt as it had under Greek rule.
