Wondering wtf they’re doing standing in chocolate contaminating it all

The Mayans lived in the southeastern region of Mesoamerica, primarily in what is now modern-day Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. The heartland of the Maya civilization was the Yucatán Peninsula, which includes present-day areas of Mexico such as the Mexican states of Yucatán, Quintana Roo, and Campeche. The ancient Maya civilization thrived from around 2000 BC to about 1500 AD, with its peak during the Classic Period from about 250 AD to 900 AD. The Maya civilization was known for its advanced architecture, mathematics, astronomy, hieroglyphic writing, and complex city-states.

But actually "the lompa lompa " are from Africa

“Docu” made for US Americans with little to no knowledge about geography. Mayan’s lived on the Yukatan peninsula, today Mexico. And the Aztec were in fact the chocolate crazed (origin of the word chocolate = Xocolatl) - when the Spaniards came to todays Mexico and brought chocolate and so many other fruits and vegetables (potatoes, tomatoes, paprika, etc.) to the old world. Only in 1876 the chocolate tree was introduced successfully into Africa, that is 380 years after it was first discovered in the Americas by the Spaniards.

If you didn't trust anything that are said in video, then Where does chocolate come from? on apples? Nuts?

I honestly thought this was a joke video at first. The Mayans didn't live in Africa. They were a Central American culture. And caco beans came from the Amazon Rainforest in South America. A quick google search shows they were first domesticated around 5,300 years ago before being introduced in Central America by the Olmecs around 4,000 years ago. The Maya did use it but they had nothing to do with it being grown in Africa. It was much later that the Spanyards took it to Africa where much of the crop is grown today.

I used to pick cocoa fruits from the tree to enjoy eating the delicious fruit pulp that enveloped the seeds.

Excuse me? The Mayans lived in Africa? And these African Mayans - who seem to have teleported there from South America - discovered the secrets of the cacao tree? Those ancient Mayans also look suspiciously like modern-day Ghanaians. And then, at around 2.23 into the video, the African Ghanaians turn into Costa Ricans. Thankfully, the rest of the video appears to be relatively accurate. But really, getting the geography and history so completely wrong is nothing but laziness.

The MAYANS DIDNT LIVE IN AFRICA!!! Geeez, come on... They lived in Central America, predominantly the Yucatan peninsula, they were descendants of the Olmec people (most likely) and share mitochondrial DNA with other Native American populations including the DNA of the Inupiat people of Alaska thus proving they were decendants of Native Americans who emigrated across the Bering Sea land-bridge along with all other Native American populations. Sure, the Maya cultivated and traded cacao, but they didn't do ANYTHING in Africa. The Mayan people were EXTINCT long before the first Cacao tree was planted in Africa. The Portuguese planted the first Cacao trees on the island of San Thome (off French Gabon) around the year 1822. The Maya civilization began as long ago as 1000BC, flourished from 250AD-600AD, and had almost totally collapsed by 900 AD.... So... about A THOUSAND YEARS in between the two.

You don't go yo the beach and say "we have so much land and resources here, let's sail across the sea", an ocean in fact. And not be anxious that there is any land on the other side. I'm confused.
