Ancient Aztec Civilization
For Adventure Travel, This Works Like Crazy
For some people, the perfect vacation is to find a five star hotel or beach where you can every whim catered to and every indulgence fulfilled. Others may seek a more family style excursion with amusement parks and theme parks. And yet others may opt for a cruise or other entertainment vacation. However there are those who desire to go "where no man has gone before". There are those who enjoy walking on the wild side. For these people, there exists adventure travel.
Adventure travel may take you kayaking in Glacier Bay, Alaska. You may choose to go canoeing and camping in the boundary waters of Northern Minnesota. You may choose to travel the world always seeking the path less traveled. You may travel to the rainforests of the Amazon or the Sahara Desert. You may go on an African Safari or mountain climbing in Tibet.
Beginners can get started in adventure travel easily. Many places offer guided and equipped tours into adventure areas. Experienced outfitters can provide you with all the equipment and the guide you need to start in adventure travel. More experienced adventures may plan their own trips and use their own equipment.
Adventure travel may also include ecotravel or travel with a purpose. Perhaps your adventure travel vacation could include a visit to an African refugee camp or helping to feed the hungry in a third world nation.
Perhaps your adventure travel will take to you to South America visiting ruins of the ancient Aztec civilization. Maybe your adventure travel will take you to the pyramids of Egypt.
Adventure travel is about discovering something new. Perhaps the adventure is the sport and the activity such as kayaking, canoeing, camping, mountain climbing, hiking and more. But adventure travel is not limited to sport. Adventure travel includes adventures in science visiting the Antarctic or the Amazon rainforest. Adventure travel includes discovering history in the Middle East or South America. Adventure travel can take you into the depths of winter or into the heat of summer.
No matter where you go or what you do, adventure travel is all about traveling on the road less traveled, learning about the world, learning about other people and other cultures. Adventure travel can take you to the extremes. You can go to the most extreme and remote parts of the world. You can engage in extreme sports. You can visit extreme history.
There are many travel agents available to help you plan your next adventure travel vacation.

Would I be called a Nazi If? (Answers: 16) (Comments: 1)
If i belonged to an organization called "the white race". And assoiated my self with an ancient mythical "aryan" civilization of which i considered the predecessor of all the great european civilizations and considered myself a pure decendant of these "aryans". Would I be considered a racist? I would be called a nazi right? So if I belonged to an organization called "la raza" (the race) and exhaulted the ancient aztec civilization to mythical status. And identified myself as a pure decendant of these aztecs. Would I be called a racist? A nazi? Or just Mexican?

Do you think that, if not "discovered", the original Aztecs(mexicans)would have evolved into modern cities? (Answers: 4) (Comments: 0)
The ancient Aztec civilization was extremely advanced.. It was a combination of three other ancient cultures, like three rivers running into the mississippi-the Mayans, Zapotecs, and Toltecs.
They had a written language, the only American Indians to possess one; they built enormous pyramidal structures without
any knowledge of the Egyptians----

Click on the above computer animation to get blown away.....
They had possibly the most accurate astronomical charts in the world, and a decent understanding of relatively advanced mathematical principals, amongst an elaborate priesthood caste
that rivaled the concurrent Catholic Church...so, my point is,
if left alone, how far would they have advanced in the 600 years since Cortes?
My opinion is that they would have had a very advanced civ, maybe like ours in the 1800's, and would have made major discoveries of technology, like steam power and such, as well.
So.....what do YOU think?

What is most amazing is the Aztec written language....click on the below link and check out the original written language of the aztec's, before any contact whatsoever
with the Europeans, and then tell me how far you think they would be today without any contact........

goddess, thanks for pointing out stolen
continents..i'm ordering it from amazon right now
BTW, Goddess, in passing, your avatar makes you look like one of those new
world princesses of old.........thanks again for the tip, and its amazing how cheap you
can get used books..i picked it up for $2.38!
good points papeche.....I think that all progress stems fro stessors and collective conflict such as war, starvation, and such.
I'm just basing on the culture they build from scratch in 300 years on that island....

Surely in 600 years they would have taken it a lot father even without outsiders, just a question of HOW far...
