    Sure. It’s a weird concept seeing these ancient people organized with modern standards in a map like this. I’m sure it would have seemed bizarre to them too.

    Now show me a map of their power grid. Or wealth inequality. Etc

      You want a GDP map of pre-contact America?

      But seriously: don’t call them ancient. That compares them to the ancient people of the old world which they are not. They have a unique history. Call them pre-contact or pre-colonialism or pre-Columbus or something next time

        Don’t call them people of the old world. That implies the world is only thousands of years old, which it is not.
