  3. @wyatt_h_knott Actually, the Aztecs invented rubber, which was re-invented in the 1800s. I just found out about that myself.

    "Ancient civilizations in much of #Mexico and #CentralAmerica were making different grades of rubber 3,000 years before Charles #Goodyear 'stabilized' the stuff in the mid-19th century, new research suggests.

    "The #Aztec, #Olmec, and #Maya of #Mesoamerica are known to have made rubber using natural latex—a milky, sap-like fluid found in some plants. Mesoamerica extends roughly from central Mexico to Honduras and Nicaragua.

    "Ancient rubber makers harvested #latex from #RubberTrees and mixed it with juice from #MorningGlory vines, which contains a chemical that makes the solidified latex less brittle."

  5. Необычный заказ: разработка под CP/M

    Древний дисковод ожил и издавая чудовищный скрежет стал медленно загружать мое послание. Через какое-то время на экране появились строки: NE PUERO GLADIUM, DR. KRIGER. 04.03.2026 Три пары глаз повернулись ко мне в немом изумлении. — Это длинная история, нам лучше присесть.

  9. Aztec education wasn’t built on fear it was built on discipline, philosophy, astronomy, poetry, and responsibility to the community.
    Our ancestors educated warriors and thinkers.
    It’s time we teach that truth again.

  10. Our Mexican Grito isn't just an emotional cry that we do in present day.

    On September 15, 1810, Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla rang the bell of his church in Dolores, igniting the Mexican War of Independence with a passionate call for freedom.

    This historic cry for justice not only set the course for Mexico’s independence in 1821 but also resonates today as a symbol of resilience and the ongoing pursuit of equality.

  14. If you've ever wanted to know what the Aztecs and Incas used as aphrodisiacs, I stumbled upon this article this morning.

    Well, I say stumbled upon, but since I was seaching for "mesoamerican aphrodisiac", I guess I should say found.
