[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 1233422, member: 6897"] Very convenient you use the Yucatan which has an average altitude barely above sea level (less than 30 feet). The Inca of SA also built roads but most were truly footpaths...even today they're not the best in the world.....but if you could get to places like Lake Titicaca or LaPaz at 12,000 above sea level and yes they had LLamas as well there...you could carry small loads. As for the civilizations, like most they are all still there although huge numbers died of diseases brought by the invaders. .....they too have advanced and now live in somewhat modern homes with all the usual utilities, automobiles etc but most still speak the original language. Go to Cancun and most speak the Mayan dialect especially when you get out of the city...go to Bolivia and many still speak the Quechua or Inca language, both of which were early civilizations of the Andes...then for fun go to Puma Punku at Tiwanaku and see rocks cut which such exactness it still cannot be duplicated exactly with lazers. Even walls build with huge stones using no mortar fit with such precision you cannot slip a piece of paper between them. I never got to see any of these but we have a box of pictures at home that my dad took when we lived there. Old and yellow now but still amazing. Aliens maybe??? One temple has heads with features that depict almost ever race in the world. :shock: :shock: [url=http://images.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=AwrTcd_gJAdVSPIABrgPxQt.;_ylu=X3oDMTB0aWRtNmFyBHNlYwNzYwRjb2xvA2dxMQR2dGlkA1lIUzAwMV8x?_adv_prop=image&fr=yhs-iry-fullyhosted_003&va=inca+toys+with+wheels&hspart=iry&hsimp=yhs-fullyhosted_003]http://images.search.yahoo.com/yhs/sear ... hosted_003[/url] [/QUOTE]
