    Fingers crossed that they were literate and wrote on something sturdy.

      Pre-colombian civilisation did not write, they still have some glyph and wall painting, they used a complex system with ropes and nodes to transmit information. That’s why we don’t have books or tablets or whatever was the norm from other civilisation. They found quite some but we probably miss plenty, and it was also way easier to get lost through time.

        What are you talking about? We do have several surviving codices from the pre-Columbian Americas.
