A recent excavation north has disclosed a mummy with what could only be described as Minoan. Large staring eyes with insets. This 'ax' symbol of kingship, the Mayan had as their symbol a 'double ax' and neither empire beheaded people.

And again, the Chinese Sanxingdui culture for short-lived fame was found to have 'likenesses' to the Mayan art, especially Talloc the rain god with the google eyes. These artifacts were reconstructed from a ritually destroyed trove discovered only late.

The oldest culture in South American has been identified as the Caral, which was a connected group of town, each producing sufficient for itself and a community on the sea shore which supplied fish for all.

The central motif of Caral was that it had a natual geographic feature like a bowl, from which one inside would not be able to see out over the rims of the edges. One may think of a natural amphitheater. If this was used to speak from, one can imagine all would be able to hear, and all would be able to respond. One imagines Socrates happy there.

This pattern of small town, self sufficient, was how the Indus valley civilization and the Mesopotamian civilization and the Egyptian delta civilizations began. All planned with foresight, prepared for housing and sanitary water needs, laid out in advance with a focus on a trade item.

The layers of military conquest, gods and their temples and taxes were in the future. The present was trade and public equilibrium which was lost in the aging of the town.

Why did the town laid out with so much foresight fail to grow peacefully? What defect led them to war?
