The Mayans had mastered water pressure and had fountains and toilets as early as 750 AD.
Aztecs had running water and sewage.The Victorians In the mid-1800s were dying of cholera because they just dumped their raw shit in the river Thames. They wouldn’t shower for months at a time because they were afraid of the polluted water.
Incans had created aquaducts in the slopes of the vast Andes mountains to reach the emperor, cities and farmers who used agricultural terraces.
Mayans, Aztecs, and Incans were far more advanced than the savage Europeans.
I’ve always loved pre Colombian Native American cultures. People always assume they were primitive but they were advanced in many ways that the rest of the world wasn’t at the time.
Some more examples:
The Maya invented the number zero which allowed them to have a sophisticated system of astronomy and mathematics and an extremely precise calendar. They accurately predicted solar eclipses up to the present day!
The Inca invented suspension bridges. Europeans were afraid to walk on them because they had never seen a bridge with the truss above rather than below. Some of these bridges are still in use.
