Re: Etruscans

Mayan culture is nothing at all like Indian culture.
Its technology was completely different --they didn't
have the wheel. They engaged in human sacrifice, they
didn't have cows, horses, chickens, pigs, buffaloes,
etc. They ate monkeys instead of worshiping them.
Their pyramids and buildings look nothing like Indian
buildings. They used the corbel instead of the arch.
