As many as needed to make you realize, and make you shut up about it. Not everyone has seen it.
It is all amazing. But like telling from the waves which way the land is is just uncredible 😮
It would be unthinkable for me to use sourcecode from a GPL'ed software and not give credit to the author. Android, for example, has its origins in Linux, and therefore also has the associated "Android Open Source Project". It is seen as a badge of honour, instead of a burden. ..and yet, big-pharma seems to have no qualms about not giving proper attribution to the sources where they derive information.

I love when white European experts who think the indigenous peoples of different regions were primitive and yet they were actually advanced beyond their own understanding

Thousands of years ahead? Lol They couldn't even count from zero without Native Americans. The best mathematicians and time keepers buddie. Also %60 of the food you eat is probably owed to Native Americans creating it. In fact everything you have was stolen or given to you. 😂

They were only "ahead" in terms of naval technology and having gunpowder tbh

The indigenous people are almost completely gone when compared to the population
they looked up at the sky. thats how they "mapped stars". there, saved everyone like an hour or whatever.

Mapping the stars during those years was a past time. For eons homo sapiens and even those before them had nothing to do but look into the sky in amazement. With passing of time, they saw the constant movement of the celestial skies. The rest is history.
Mapped stars? Sure lol
It's HERBS. Not erbs.
What a load!
How indigenous Europeans mapped the stars long before mayans, aztecs and incas.

Europeans. Those barbarians are responsible for the dark ages that lasted over a thousand years. The Romans and Greeks built cultured civilizations and the Europeans sacked Rome and all scientific achievements were lost until Marco Polo traveled East to China. Picking up knowledge along the way. Are you talking about those Europeans.

@@jaeboston9228The "Dark Ages" lasted, at most, around half the Medieval period and was only called "dark" because it had less surviving documentation compared to Ancient, later Medieval, and Modern periods.
This is a joke right? To actually believe us Americans mapped the stars and created calendars is beyond delusional. Only a fool could actually believe that. I hope this gets 5 views for the good of mankind just in general.

You'd think they'd have more important things to focus on other than mapping the stars, like I don't know, developing technology? These people still live in mud huts for god's sake! Sheesh, acting like I should be impressed because they looked at the sky occasionally 🙄 These people didn't even have a written language, but they were mapping the stars? Uh huh, sure Jan.
