The mayans may have invented maths and writing (they were isolated) but I'm pretty sure other civilisations invented them long before... I mean the ancient greeks were thousands of years BC and they had maths and writing.
Missus got me a Breaking Bad T-Shirt and a Dennis Pennis DVD. Result.

Have you been peeking or are these pre-Christmas presents, I've no idea what Mrs atm has got me, I had a list of oily bits for my scoot but I think she may have decided to leave them to me to purchase.
All presents purchased here although I think I should keep the Google Nexus I brought for my daughter...mmm shiny thing
Not in the early 90's it didn't. Don't give a fuck what anyone says. I took ecstasy twice a week for three years and the magic, for want of a much better word, was there every single time.
I really did overdo it on the methylone back in the day tho - I'm wondering if that has permanently affected my relationship with E.

Ancient Greeks weren't thousands BC. They were around 800-600. Mayans started in 2000BC.
The point is they developed writing, language and maths in the Americas (they were widespread, not isolated). Their systems of astronomy were phenomenal. Their sums for where the equator is, done with naked eye observation of the sky, were the most accurate of any civilisation and have been proved right in Ecuador by modern GPS.
The Mayans were cool. Probably a bit bloodthirsty mind.
Primate genius's

I never said the mayans were not cool.
Greeks started 3000 BC. With the minoans.
I knew someone would freak out about isolated. I'm not going to bother going there. I think you know what I meant.
Here are languages and when they were first written. Mayan comes way down the list. (edit: 250 AD and greek comes in at 1400BC, 1650 years before the Mayans)
You are being highly selective. Mayan scripts have been found that date back to 400BC. The Minoans were not the Greeks. And the Chinese most likely beat everyone before our Bronze age. Chinese civilisation is outrageously ignored by the West.
And for goodness sake. The Mayans were cool was not a statement aimed at you in any way.![]()
Primates?
The Mayans were human, Dan. Did you mean 'primeval'? I think you did.
Oh, and there's evidence of bloodthirstiness. Though remember most of what we 'know' is derived from highly-biased sources (Christian missionaries, conquistadores, etc.).
