1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus

1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus

$13 USD on Amazon
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A groundbreaking work of science, history, and archaeology that radically alters our understanding of the Americas before the arrival of Columbus in 1492—from “a remarkably engaging writer” (The New York Times Book Review). Contrary to what so many Americans learn in school, the pre-Columbian Indians were not sparsely settled in a pristine wilderness; rather, there were huge numbers of Indians who actively molded and influenced the land around them. The astonishing Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan had running water and immaculately clean streets, and was larger than any contemporary European city. Mexican cultures created corn in a specialized breeding process that it has been called man’s first feat of genetic engineering. Indeed, Indians were not living lightly on the land but were landscaping and manipulating their world in ways that we are only now beginning to understand. Challenging and surprising, this a transformative new look at a rich and fascinating world we only thought we knew.

      "So you are going to maintain that there were no people here in North America that were displaced by Europeans?"

      The Strawman, the Red Herring, and the one liner question as deflection, obfuscation and the non response.
      Dave you're a real piece of work! YES is the answer to your question. Don't act so dense. It is an act, right?

      jwnunez made a great post to illustrate reality and context or your noble savage/Imperialist U.S.A. shtick.

      I bid you Peace.

      I wasn't responding to you. He said " There are NO 'native americans', unless you talk simply about those born in this geography." which negates his whole premise and serves to support mine. My question to him was to clarify that very point.

      If you have an honest desire to learn about pre european America I would highly suggest. http://www.amazon.com/1491-Revelations-Americas-Before-Columbus/dp/1400032059
      It is a fabulous book.

      If your confusion about who was here and how things unfolded, I would recommend. http://www.amazon.com/1493-Uncoveri..._14_img_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1PKHAE3XREZ9JQ93RPKD

      Oh I think you missed it not me. I well understand. He is talking about AMERICA, as in the United States to which we are all "native". Then he went on to point out the contrary view to the noble savage/imperialist America rant you are on as analogy to the Israel/Palestinian moral equivalency/prejudicial responsibility thing you do.

      I gotcha Dave. No need to play Doctor of Anthropology with me. I assure you...

      You win less than you lose my 17,000 post friend. Pick, pick, pick.
