I feel like I do this alot, except it's the Aztec Empire instead of capitalism.
Pre-Columbian American civilizations are incredibly interesting. It's absurd how far they got without wheels, iron tools or animals like horses and cows. I guess I wouldn't mind listening about the Aztecs constantly.
Mesoamerican fact of the day:
The wheel was actually known to Mesoamerica pre-European contact. Archeological finds included toys, food preparation tools, seal rollers, and spindle whorls for textile making.
I'm a history nerd and Mesoamerica is quality content.
the dense tropical forest made backpacks way better for transportation of goods.
