Hi, thanks for reading. Indeed, even I was surprised to read about this quasi-democratic story of Txcala. Those Indigenous of Meso America had many secrets or ways of governance.
I love your writing style, Counter. "‘Win win’ with a fair amount of violence to be precise." I love the idea that there's no evidence of a lineage of rulers in this area. Perhaps the "pillars of the community" would arise as conditions required to accomplish all the defense and public (presumably) building of infrastructure.
I had the pleasure of spending part of the day in Teotihuacán many years ago. Later in a small museum in Vera Cruz they had a display that suggested it was the much earlier Olmecs that build the pyramid complex. Is that what your reading suggested or is it more complex?
it is a good read and eye opening. a non-hierarchal society that does not resemble anything in the (then) old world...

Hi Peace... no clue about the "much earlier Olmecs". Will troll!
Many thanks for sharing!
