hehe, no serious mod would use this.
but it looks good.

also, when you create a gif image, dont use shp->gif function, use shp-png image function. then import all the frames in jasc animation shop and save it as a gif, and it wont look wrong like it does now.

Uhmm... the Mayans were Native American whereas "most" Mexicans are of Spanish/European descent. Mexico is a completely new concept created by Spanish conquistadors. The Mayan civilisation stretched from the modern political definition of southern Mexico through to Guatemala and El Salvador.

You're forgetting that when the Spanish came, they absorbed many of the civilizations they conquered. Many Mexicans are of Native American descent.

That's completely off topic... So yeah, pretty good Mexican. Smile

Well no I wasn't forgetting hence "most". AFAIK just over half of modern day Mexicans have 'European blood'.

meh, my knowledge of far back history is a bit rusty. I had in in my head that myans were of mexican decent, but then thinking about it, they were pretty fluent through out the UnitedStates when they first existed. So Native Americans would be the proper term I suppose. Confused

oh, and nice job on the Mexican Raminator.

But Mexico existed after the Mayans.

Well Native American is a very broad statement, it's like saying European or Asian. There were many different civilisations all over the Americas, the Mayans being one in central America.

I would look up pre-colonised Americas history as it is fascinating and we'll never really know everything about it. As it is an area I was never formally educated in there is still a lot for me to learn.

There was some sort of study proving most Mexicans have Native American somewhere in their bloodline, at least once.

I'll see if I can find it again. However, I am NOT saying you are wrong.

My point was that it can be true that a majority of Mexicans could trace their ancestry to both Mayan and European decent at the same time.

That's funny, because no one said otherwise.
