Class Reflection: The Americas

Our unit on the Americas has enlightened me as to just how complex and successful the Inca, Aztec, and Mayan civilizations were. From the roads of the Inca, which rivaled those of Rome, to the advanced calendars and mathematics of the Maya and Aztects. It is a wonder that they were so easily surpassed by the Europeans. It underlines once again the superiority of Guns. Germs, and Steel, which geography gave the Europeans.

Class Reflection

I don't think we give enough credit to the American Civilizations. I mean, and entire half of the world is reduced to less than 5% of our entire curriculum. I understand why. There is not enough information on them. I am still interested to be studying this new continent of America.
