Human flesh and semen sometimes, but mostly papaya and mangoes
Pusy
Greatest band ever.
Potatoes
Tomatoes
MANFLESH
insects and dogs
Gotta get the thread started somehow, watchu know about that?

They had been cultivating maize and other crops for nearly 4000 years at that point, so I would assume that along with domesticated animals like pig, chicken and traditional foods such as fruits and fish.
whats their band name?
These niggas were advanced in all ways but the wheel. They understood the principle of the wheel but without draft animals, it never became widespread.
yt "people"
They didn’t have pigs or chickens. All they got was llama
This little nigga isn't hurting for food. They say at the ceremony, the reason they're rounding up and killing people is because the crops are all diseased and a plague is spreading among the people. So they had plenty of food before, but it's gotten terrible causing them to seek mystical ways to resolve it
I kneel to injun agriculture. Corn is impressive, not gonna lie
Is that how they died out?
Soul-less flesh automatons can't be healthy for you
Sepultura
Don't forget taters too.
Po-Tay-Toes? I thought those came from the shire
Corn, maize, beans, plants, bugs, rodents, occasional bigger beast- and human meat. The graveyard of headless corpses-scene cheated a bit, The remains of Mayan and Aztec human sacrifices were often cooked and eaten, and bones were made into decorations and trinkets.

He didnt drown so good.
Mainly the domesticated turkey and dog, fish as well. Then when those were exhausted they ate wild game, when those were exhausted lizards, snakes, bugs, birds, big cats. When those were exhausted the civilization would usually become cannibalistic and collapse. This happened several times in mesoamerica. Besides the staple diet of potato, corn and yams but protein/ meat is more important.
But I thought eating humans left psychological damage
youtube didn't exist back then
Latinos have the highest murder and rape rates in the entire world.
i kneel
Wrong that would be jews
Eating human brains causes kuru, aka terminal and incurable prion folding disease. Just don’t eat the brains and you’ll be fine
All the dangerous cities in the world are spic cities. Even African shitholes are safer by comparison. This is what generations of cannibalism does to a mf’er
Can you blame a hooligan for a wee bit a fun during a football match?
Squash, Beans and Maize were the basis of meso-american agriculture, the three sisters method creates a postive feedback loop for soil nitrogen that makes it crazy easy to grow
For meat they ate lots of Fish and birds, large mamals like deer when they could get them
Human flesh was only consumed as part of religious ceremonies and wasn't used in normal diets
Mangos come from India
Good to know. I’m moving to Baltimore in a few days and was worried about my protein intake
What was their tax policy?
corn, lots of small/medium game animals, fish, foraged fruits/nuts, chili, cacao drinks for royals and warriors, some fermented alcohols for everyone else
leaves
you mean fermented spit
Whatever they wanted
It occurs to me GRRM never actually explained his tax policies in ASOIAF
I spoke to a cannibal once in Timor
If you don't eat the brain, spine, or eyes then you'll be fine
No monetary taxes, but every month, one village is picked at random to give all of its men, women, and children to be sacrificed/enslaved/sold. I guess it's a good deal until your time comes up

American right?

Are Quaritch and the guy on the right the best antagonists in modern movies? They both fit the bill totally. Manly, testosterone filled, stern, but like it's not personal, they are professionals and it's their job and they're going to doing it well. And when it does get personal, both of them get wreckt.
they should have spent time breeding turkeys and paccaris. new world counterparts of chickens and pigs.
prolly nothin
This kino will always be in my heart. My wife watched it and loved it and her liberal older sister basically called me a racist and wanted my wife to divorce me for showing her the movie because Gibson man bad. And my wife just told her to fuck off and that she loved the movie. Her sister still tries to convince her to divorce me. Good times. How can one man produce such kino and seething?
Prolly tons
kiwis
>Latinos have the highest murder and rape rates in the entire world.
and ironically, the higher the indigenous population, the lower the crime rate.
The more mestizos, mulattoes and blacks, the higher the homicide rate.
Also, turkey, rabbits, iguanas, beans, ducks, deer, etc.
Contrary to some retard ""experts""" mesoamerica was not lacking in protein. They didn't have large farm animals, but still had meat to eat, and plant protein.
The original foods of Mexico: corn, tomato, avocado, papaya, turkey, pumpkin, cacao, chiles. The occasional human pozole soup.
>Human flesh and semen sometimes
No they didn't.
There is literally nothing, except hearsay, to back up any claims of cannibalism.
And let's be fair. Europeans LOVED accussing far away peoples for cannibalism.
It's always way too convenient, that cannibals ONLY ever had contact with european explorers.
The reality is that european explorers loved exaggerating claims about their travels, and the places and peoples they saw. Also, there is the religious aspect to it.
BUT EVEN, if you buy everything that europeans said.
Cannibalism was a practice restricted to certain rituals by the aztec elite. So, no. These common soldiers wouldn't have eaten human flesh.
You're not allowed to make mesoamerican kino unless it's about how they have no faults and white man bad
Fuck I'm just remembering all the bs youtube history faggots seething over every minor detail as if it's supposed to be a documentary while everyone I knew thought it was great
We never get movies in this time period from this perspective so you'd think the reactionary fags would be happy for some actual diversity
Kuru was a rare disease that only affected one group of people, and started because of another disease that developed from one of the natives that was eaten, which passed on the disease and basically evolved to the kuru disease over time.
Not that I'm defending cannibalism here, but you're pretty safe as long as the "victim" doesn't have any type of degenerative disease to pass on, it seems.
To be fair it was europeans who explored all the corners of the world, so who else can you even look to for references? Closest you'd get is the mongols
likely not as exposed to so much media and societal influence pushing the need to "always get more money/stuff to be happy so resort to selling drugs/crime/sex trade and everyone around you can go to hell".
>You're not allowed to make mesoamerican kino unless it's about how they have no faults and white man bad
when has this been the case? I know you are being ironic, but mesoamericans are ONLY portrayed when it comes to human sacrifice.
I've yet to see media, or any discussion of mesoamerica, where some retard doesn't immediately jump to accussation of thousands of people being sacrificed in a matter of days (which is insane and never happened).
Mesoamericans are probably one of the few cases where "White man good" is still widely popular among retards.
The hero literally ran into a corn field escaping the target practice execution.

true. But most claims of cannibalism were made decades if not centuries after.
It was rarely that first explorers made those accusations.
The 1800s in particular saw a surge of claims by "explorers" which were mostly upper class north europeans that took vanity trips to south america, and then wrote "books" about their travels.
The whole indiana jones genre was born from the books that these "explorers" in the 1800s wrote.
It's kinda weird how the mayans are portrayed having bad rotten teeth.
I mean, these guys had ZERO sugar in their diet, and eat mostly vegetables and lean protein.
Their teeth must have been perfect. As was the case with native americans. Europeans even wrote about it.
poverty + modernity = crime
Not surprising, let the poor people live in small sustainable close knit villages so that their brains don't get corrupted by a society they weren't meant to participate in.
Can't forget the beans. Im thinkin bout those beans.
That always struck me as strange too. If you look at similar natives now (though they are very rare) they tend to have pretty good teeth. I guess Mel did it to show that everyone was badly off, it was supposed to be a civilization in its death throes.
>ZERO sugar
not necessarily true and interestingly the city dwellers have worse teeth or gums than the villagers in the movie, idk if that's accurate to a specific custom they were known for like teeth cutting or something
