We don't even know anything about most of them. All we have is some old ruins, no writing. We don't know wtf they called themselves or what they did.

For some of them we have writing, but only the more recent ones. We don't know wtf the Olmecs or Toltecs were doing. There are many others that left even less behind than they did.

How much of the workforce was just slave labor for the king to pursue his public works and monuments to the gods/himself, and how many others occupied themselves as farmers or artisans, selling ponchos, backpacks and chess sets to spendthrift passers-by?

Looks like you can get to astronomy through paper and theology and some other bullshit that doesn't require metal working.

Oh wait I read that wrong. Looks like those are necessary but not sufficient.

It looks like it was different everywhere. Court sizes vary widely, as does the size of the hoops. It seems the some courts were used for purely competitive games whereas others were ceremonial and probably choreographed.

Mesoamerican civs were the most brutal in history, and that's with full knowledge that most civilizations were very brutal by 21st c. western standards. No other civilization practiced human sacrifice on such a scale.

Think about the cultures in north america ten thousand years ago that witnessed the massive glacier breaking up and catastrophic flooding like we've never imagined. Some dude was around when that shit went down. It would have been followed by insane forest fires that leave a layer of smoke across the globe. Just nuts
