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?
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.

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