I've been reading more about central american civilizations, and it's really interesting. Essentially, it doesn't matter where the people came from because all the cultural leaders were killed and replaced with spanish colonialists, and all the old books were burned (which is a tragedy to history regardless of the merit of the civilization), and the culture of the region was replaced with spanish culture.

Why North American colonies and South American colonies diverged so heavily is really curious.
