MUSEUM OF PRE HISPANIC MEXICAN ART



I am at a loss for words with these artifacts from all over Mexico that date back over 4500 years. All the indigenous people of the Americas have DNA origins in Central Asia. Yet they were occupying North and South America 10,000 years ago and no one in Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe discovered it until Christopher Columbus ...well maybe a few. Keep in mind they build a Modern Civilization without the Wheel (only for the Mayan calendar, toys...but not for carts) or Iron.  Metal they had was Gold and used for jewelry.  No Horses, Cows, Water Buffalo's, Oxen, only small animals like Turkeys, rats, squirrel , birds, etc.  They built cities in the jungle.  Temples. They cultivated Corn, Squash, Beans, Potatoes, Tomatoes, Peppers, etc.  All of these were NOT known in the rest of the world. These artifacts, made from clay and stone were from Aztecs, Olmec's, Mayan and others. I am not that knowledgeable on the subject.
