i'm not pissed, i just have a point. and how do you know i'm not from south america.

for one thing, it's not just a movie, it's an indiana jones movie. i don't mean to sound like a dick, but i've studied this stuff and i have a large amount of respect for it and i would think the character of indiana jones would too. but i guess i just have a romanticized notion of the character, it is, after all, a summer hollywood blockbuster

the mayan were very much mexican, read a book jackass.

i'd be surprised if they based the story on what is widely regarded as a racist point of view with mesoamerican subject matter. the notion that cultures like the maya or aztec or inca got their technology from aliens instead of, i don't know, maybe coming up with it themselves, is disrespectful. what, i white man can come up with quantum physics but a bunch of mexicans can't develop a diverse and sophisticated civilization, all on their own? that's crazy talk. all i'm saying is that an indiana jones movie about mayan or aztec culture alone could be great, there's no need to bring aliens into it, especially when that alien story element is going to crap on thousands of years of diverse and remarkable achievement.
