Does that mean you dont have an answer or you are embarrassed because you know the truth?What do you think letters are and why did no European culture ever invent a written language?The Incas and Mayans and Aztecs didn't have a written language?Celebrate the contributions of indians?? HAHAHA. Before the white man came, no indian tribe even had a written language. They were stone age people and they still would be except the white man takes care of them.
I'm pretty sure they did not. The carved symbols that represented things, but no actual written language.
Lol, with each post you show yourself to be a bigger and bigger idiot. Keep it up dumbass.
Well I WAS just going to let you spout your stupidity unabated and simply laugh at you but I'm feeling charitable this morning so let me give you a clue:
The Aztec and Mayan carvings are representative of various things. They are not a written language. That would be like me claiming my old photo albums are a written language. There's more to "language" than simply drawing or carving symbols. Get it?
I should be ashamed for thinking that natives' biggest worry before the white man came was making it through the Winter.

You might be wasting your time. Lefties don't care about any actual historical facts that don't fit what they believe to be true.

I'm pretty sure it means he thinks you're an idiot.
Should we find an indigenous native translation for that, in the spirit of this thread?

Aztecs and Mayans were in South America and Mexico.
About 2,800 years ago, people known as the Maya lived in farming villages on the Yucatan Peninsula and the highlands to the south. From about A.D. 250 to A.D. 900, they built city-states in Central America that included great pyramid temples and public plazas featuring huge stone columns that recounted their history. Excavations at Tikal, Guatemala, one of the greatest and oldest Maya centers, have revealed thousands of structures and artifacts. The findings include temples, pyramids, ball-playing courts, stone monuments, tools, ceremonial objects, and a great many pottery fragments.
The limestone of the Yucatan Peninsula was easily quarried and used for building and tool making. In the south, volcanoes stretched over the highlands and yielded valuable resources. The fertile volcanic soil allowed the people to grow crops.
Incan Civilization
Incan City Machu Picchu The Inca began settling in the Valley of Cuzco in the Andes Mountains of central Peru around the year 1200. Between 1440 and 1500, they expanded their empire until it extended nearly 2,500 miles from north to south and included as many as 16 million people. The lands they occupied included mountains, coastal desert, and low-lying jungle.
The Incan central government at Cuzco maintained a strong military and passed laws to create official customs and an official language and calendar. The Inca engineered 14,000 miles of roads, including tunnels and bridges, and built the great fortress of Sacsahuaman. They also developed highly advanced terracing and irrigation methods to allow farming in difficult mountain terrain.
Aztec Civilization
Ceramic Eagle WarriorThe center of the Aztec civilization was in the Valley of Mexico, a huge high-elevation basin in the Sierra Madre Mountains. This valley had a mild climate that was good for agriculture. The surrounding lowlands offered a hotter, wetter tropical climate and an abundance of natural resources.
Around 1325, the Aztecs settled on an island in Lake Texcoco, where they built their capital and largest city, Tenochtitlán. They called themselves the Mexica (pronounced me-shee-ka) and became accomplished corn farmers, warriors, and temple builders. The ceramic shown here is one of a pair of life-size statues discovered during the recent excavation of the Great Temple of Tenochtitlán. The statues stood guard at the doorway of the meeting room of the Aztec warriors. The aggression and warrior skill of the Aztecs allowed them to conquer neighboring people. Eventually, the empire stretched over most of central Mexico and included millions of people.

The problem with that is you nor he is capable of thinking. You couldnt find your own ass with a flash light at noon so I doubt you find a translation for that.

Wasn't an answer. Come on, put your money where your mouth is. If you think Columbus was a bad person, you should actively be calling for your federal employees to stop celebrating this day.Already answered and dismissed. You are not ready for the big leagues, bub.You're not answering the question. You don't have to be part of the negotiations to have an opinion, and it would only make sense that since you believe Columbus was a bad person that you wouldn't want to see your federal workers getting a paid day off in the name of Columbus. Right ?
The answer was already given. You simply are not happy with it. Tough.
You are goofy.

Why would I need a 'flashlight' then? Is that gay code for something? Did indigenous natives invent the flashlight?

Many hard far righties simply "don't care about any actual historical facts that don't fit what they believe to be true." This is true of all folks who discount critical thinking skills. They can't interact with change, and thus they become irrelevant.

You need a flash light to keep you occupied. You are too simple minded for more complex stimulation. You may go into shock or something. You must be related to columbus. The idiot actually thought he was in India.The problem with that is you nor he is capable of thinking.

Not only is he an idiot, he actively tries to remain so. It's funny to watch.

That is pretty funny, considering most liberals have no clue when and how the transatlantic slave trade started.
Most of you morons actually think Europeans actually captured Africans with nets and and actually think that is how it started.

Like I said, with every post you make you show more and more of your ignorance. I used thinking skills to attempt to show you the difference between symbols and a language, you were too stupid to understand it.
Dumbass.
I guess we are going to get crickets now. Predfan and Picaro 2 more dumb monkeys that took the KKK's teachings to heart about the NA' s in the americas.
What are the KKK's teachings? I'm not familiar with them. You seem to know them. How about sharing?
