But we do know, it's just not shown on this page! E.g. the Mayan and Aztec civilisations. There is a massive amount of history than can be traced to the physical structures they built.

One cannot seriously claim that there was no History in Britain until the Romans arrived (or that nothing was / is known about it), which is what this map suggests. The ancient Greek Pytheas [0] visited Britain in approx 330 BC.

The map clearly shows Mayan and Teotihuacanan civilizations in pre-colonial eras. Is the map perfect? Of course not, but I'm confused by your insistence that it's ignoring Mayan and Aztec civilizations when it plainly shows them and their predecessors.


It shows labels in the regions, just not borders. I’m assuming this is because the exact borders are unknown. Try zooming in more to see the labels.
