I'm actually studying Spanish intensely for a few weeks, because I'm going to go check out Mexico City with the wife.

We just went there last summer. Don't miss Teotihuacan or the Anthropology museum.

The subways are safe, at least during normal hours on the tourist lines. Food is delicious. Even the locals strictly drink bottled water. Don't even brush your teeth with the tap water.

I can order food in Spanish but that's about it. My fluent wife was a big help but there are many People that are happy to practice their English to help you with directions.

Have fun, we did.

Last night I found out that Indians in the US (the Mississipian culture) built mounds that look a lot like pyramids, though not with stone, as far north as Illinois and Wisconsin. They had human sacrifice and art that looks very Mexican to me


OK, something even weirder:

https://notthebee.com/article/get-in-here-and-learn-about-the-moon-eyed-people-the-cherokee-encountered-when-they-first-moved-into-appalachia-and-the-insane-connection-to-england


This tribe, the Allegewi, supposedly were Delaware and Iroquois tribes, causing the survivors to flee deep into Appalachia where the Cherokee later encountered them.

Here's where the European legend comes in.

There are also claims (including on a Fort Mountain State Park Plaque and, supposedly, by the 18th C. Cherokee chief Oconostota) that the Moon Eyed people are descendants of the Welsh prince Madoc--who, according to Welsh legend, sailed to America in 1170.

Prince Madoc is a fascinating figure out of legend. He supposedly sailed to the Americas three hundred years before Columbus, which isn't an impossible thing to imagine, considering the Viking incursions centuries earlier. There is likely a long chain of various migration events across the Atlantic and Pacific over human history that we know little to nothing about (one of many reasons that the woke worldview and its idea of indigenous land ownership is so childlike).

Not saying it's impossible, but that's pretty similar to what Jehovah's witnesses have in their bible.
