1,000@100Anonymous are you saying there are no native Belgians, since the Ghauls were killed by the Romans?
@AlexanderTheGreater I think in practice this would mean that there are practically no indigenous people anywhere.
@100Anonymous so Mayan Empire, Nubian Empire and Qin Dynasty don't count as empires? Only empires can commit genocide and replace the locals?
@AlexanderTheGreater I would like to bring you attention to the fact that we are all the descendants of 1 mother in ~1000 BC. That's why it should not count before 2000 BC
@AlexanderTheGreater was there ever a Mayan empire? My layman understanding is that all the way from the rise of El Mirador in the 300s BC to the fall of Peten Itza in the AD 1500s the region geopolitically resembled archaic and classical period ancient Greece, with a bunch of independent city states sharing a culture, and occasionally a few of them forming short lived fragile decentralised alliances (e.g. League of Mayapan). Very different to the Aztec empire further northwest, with many separate cultures being ruled under a single state, more comparable to Achaemenid Persia (or maybe Neo Assyria given all the horrific war crimes lol)
@100Anonymous can you elaborate on the 1 mother thing? Are you talking about Eve from Abrahamic religions? Given that you've mentioned you're in India, would it be a safe assumption that you believe in Islam?
@TheAllMemeingEye No! I saw a RealLifeLore video stating that geneologists have found this. May not be true, though. I'm Hindu
@100Anonymous The existence of a mitochondrial Eve is a very counterintuitive mathematical necessity, but it does not confer any cultural significance. 2000 bc seems off by a few oom
