Ancient Mesoamerica had one of the most incredible calendars ever devised. Discover how they created and used this calendar to track their history and the cosmos.
Welcome to the Ancient Americas YouTube channel. I’m your host, Pete and together, we will explore the rich and beautiful pre-columbian history of North and South America from the initial migration of humans into the Americas, to the great empires of Mesoamerica and the Andes and everything in between. This is a history that I find endlessly fascinating but is often neglected in classrooms and misunderstood in popular media. This channel is my effort to educate you, one member of a curious public, on this period’s history and its people. If you’re tired of seeing this obscure history boiled down to aliens and giants and just want an honest approach, please subscribe to the channel. There’s a lot to learn out there!
