Mesoamerica

Type in the term, Nation, or City-State.
Yes, I am aware that the Incas are not technically Mesoamericans, but as their societies had some elements in common (massive cities, advanced technology, etc.) I am adding them anyway.

I happen to be well aware : ).

I also believe that I put that into a caveat.

I apologize if you feel offended by this generalization, and I simply intended this quiz to spread a basic level of knowledge about Indigenous cultures. I would gladly make a modification if you wish. I would love to have further discussions on this topic with you.

I have the honour to be your obedient servant,
