Pre-Columbian civilizations

Before the Caucasian entered the hemisphere, there was a fully functional society fully functional. These civilizations are complex and can be thought of as even more advanced than the European countries at the time. The rest of the East world is in the dark Middle Ages, but the people here are booming. Aztecs were native Americans who dominated the northern part of Mexico when the conquest of Spain was led by Hernan CORTES in the beginning of the 16th century. According to their own legend, they started somewhere in Mexico north or northwest of the place called Aztlan.

The old Civilization of Colombia has prosperous for thousands of years before the Europeans reached the New World. Empires such as Aztec, Maya, Inca lived in a vast area of ​​Latin America. Before Columbus and Cortez were born, the three major powers dominated the land. The civilization before the Columbus and the Europeans had similar ideas, but the life of the New World was very different from the medieval life in Europe. There are three major civilizations in the New World: Aztecs, Maya, Incas.

Excellent cultural accomplishments of civilizations before Colombia are often compared to the cultural achievements of old world civilizations. For example, the ancient Mayan calendar exceeds the European Julian calendar with accuracy. This shows exceptional knowledge of Mayan astronomy and mathematics. Equally impressive is the Inca calendar and the complexity of its highway construction, the development of Maya's complex writing system, and the spectacular temple of Aztec. Unfortunately, archaeological discoveries and written documents do not reveal the education of Maya, Aztecs and Incas very much. However, as can be seen from the available documents, these pre-Colombian civilizations are clear formal education to feed aristocrats and pastors. The main objectives of education are cultural protection, vocational training, moral and personality training, and cultural deviation management.

Many civilizations before Columbus have established signs including permanent settlements, cities, agriculture, civil and monuments, major soil work, and complex social class. Among these civilizations has disappeared for a long time between the first colonial period in Europe and the arrival of enslaved Africans (c.16 th century to the early 17 th century), through archaeological investigation and dictation history I can only know. Other civilizations existed at the same time as the colonial era, and it was stated in the historical record of Europe at that time. A few people like Mayan civilization have their own written records. Many Christian and European people of those days thought that the text was heresy, so people like Diego de Landa destroyed a lot of Pires' texts while trying to preserve the local history.
