What is the most interesting or awesome thing you found in your South American research for /The Aztlanian/?
What is the most awesome thing I’ve come up with in my research for /The Aztlanian/. So the question, for those of you who read /The Rithmatist/, I’m working on a sequel doing a lot of research on South American and Central American cultures. The Aztecs all the way down to the Incas city was just so cool reading about that. One of the big things that I discovered was that a lot of records indicate that Meso-American culture was way bigger than, way more populated than people are usually taught. It’s just that they lost somewhere around 60%– This enormous number to diseases that were brought over. Way more than I originally expected. And reading about some of this, like the early accounts of how many people there were, their civilizations. Later on when the explorers really started coming, talking about there being these ghost cities, of empty– the people all left them because so many people died and things like this. That what happened was almost like a post-Apocalyptic– Like when the invasion of the Aztecs, of Mexico, was happening they were basically invading a post-Apocalyptic society where everyone was already dead. They’d even lost their emperor, Montezuma the First had died from this stuff. It’s very interesting, all these things reading about– There is a ton to learn.
