Question

what did the pre-Columbian civilizations of Mesoamerica have in common? how did they differ?

Answer 1

Many pre-Columbian civilizations established hallmarks which included permanent settlements, cities, agriculture, civic and monumental architecture, major earthworks, and complex societal hierarchies. Some of these civilizations had long faded by the time of the first permanent European colonies and the arrival of enslaved Africans (c. late 16th–early 17th centuries),[1] and are known only through archaeological investigations and oral history. Other civilizations were contemporary with the colonial period and were described in European historical accounts of the time. A few, such as the Maya civilization, had their own written records. Because many Christian Europeans of the time viewed such texts as heretical, men like Diego de Landa destroyed many texts in pyres, even while seeking to preserve native histories. Only a few hidden documents have survived in their original languages, while others were transcribed or dictated into Spanish, giving modern historians glimpses of ancient culture and knowledge.

Answer 2

Numerous pre-Columbian civilizations established trademarks which included lasting settlements, cities, agriculture, urban and monumental architecture, major earthworks, and complex societal pecking orders. A portion of these civic establishments had since quite a while ago blurred when of the main changeless European states and the landing of subjugated Africans and are known just through archaeological investigations and oral history.

Different developments were contemporary with the pioneer time frame and were depicted in European recorded records of the time. A couple of, for example, the Maya progress, had their very own composed records.
