The Frood (Stop Torture: A455528)

Hello!

I'm planning on doing a project for the H2G2 University of Life. I have just sent the application e-mail and I am wondering if you'd like to help me. I see that you are an expert on it and that would be very helpful. It will be about Mayas, Incas, Aztecs, and other stuff. Unfortunately, my only qualifications are that I was born in Mexico, so it would be great if you can aid me.

Hello!
I am really really sorry I didn't answer to your message any earlier! But I haven't been here on H2G2 for ages for various reasons (mainly because I was busy studying and simply didn't have any time).
Anyway, if I can still help you with anything I'd be glad to do so. If you still want/need my help just leave a message telling me about which culture you need more information and how I can post it.

There is no hurry, I have so much going on at the mo', that it will probably take me about a month to get started on the ones that I can do stuff on - the Nasca and the Mowha. For what he wants, I am not sure, but definatly something on the art, something on the culture, the warfare, the architecture - that sort of thing smiley - smiley Hope this helps smiley - smiley Until later.....

It is supposed to be sent for monday, but I had some computer problems so I'll ask for more time. I'm sure they'll grant it, they should want to keep the slaves (we work for no pay...) happy so that we don't leave, right? smiley - winkeye

Anyway, I want general information but all poetry shall go on one page (if I compile enough) and I might place all of the legends in one place, too.

What do you want to write about? I am currently writting about the Mayas. I'd really like information on the Incas, as I have less resources on them, or it would be better on one of the cultures that are not listed there. I welcome information on anything that has not been written about/isn't being written about.

Thanks Cresecent for helping.

Hi!
I actually wanted to write something about the Inca, the Moche and a couple of other cultures from Southamerica. smiley - smiley
I don't think I will come up with that much poetry or legends, perhaps just one or two from the Inca. But I have been thinking about including some 'myths' about these cultures that people nowadays always come up with (like: 'those cultures didn't know the wheel') and to put them right.
Would you mind if I commented on your entries?
I will try to post something as soon as possible. So long...

Yeah, that silly no wheel thing. smiley - tongueout ;-P

Good! I really need information on the South American ones.

Please comment on those. I also need information on the division of areas in South America, how they got there (if there is anything else worth telling), and the time periods. I'm still working on all of those, BTW, and I want all the critisism I can get (as long as it is constructive).
