Hell there friend. It's crazy to think that we, today, in this modern time, that we cannot add up to what the Mayan culture has done. I live in south Texas. Here we have a lot of people of different cultures. A lot of the Indians from Mexico have said that the Mayans as well as the Aztecs didn't disappear. They assimilated into the Mexican culture in order to survive. Wonder if that's true ? Thanks for a great topic today.

I lived in San Antonio for a couple years. Small world. I am astounded that we are not capable of reproducing the architectural engineering, even with our tools! I havexalso read that they assimilated but there is no real proof, so they say.
Thanks for stopping by!
Wow, it is a small world. Well I've actually talked with a few people that claim to be Aztecs or Mayan. ???? Who knows. But seems like that if they can trace people back to cavemen and further, then what's the problem with DNA to trace those so called lost tribes.
They are Mayas. The Maya today number about six million people, making them the largest single block of indigenous peoples north of Peru. Some of the largest Maya groups are found in Mexico, the most important of these being the Yucatecs (300,000), the Tzotzil (120,000), and the Tzeltal (80,000).
