I was interested in how Charles Mann pieced together evidence of the ancient meso-american culture. Without much archeological data to help confirm the evidence, Mann based most of his argument on personal observations, educated theories, and accounts of authors from the fifteenth century up through the twentieth century (could make this sound a bit more polished by writing: ...from as early as the fifteenth century and spanning all the way to the twentieth century.”). Mann was also able to strongly support his message of correcting the stereotypes and previous false ideologies with interesting evidence and knowledge of the meso-american culture, such as ___________. I want to learn more of how the early native Indians lived as a community.
