So mostly posting to say I'm still alive, relatively well, and haven't completely forgotten I have an account here. The more immediate reason is I'm still plugging away at my little website and just decided to start adding some Mesoamerican cultures to my timeline. I know we got the ultra condensed summary in school but there is something about adding in the Maya bar from 1000 BCE to 1521 CE and literally seeing how it dwarfs so many cultures I know more about. Debating whether to follow the rabbit hole and try to actually learn more about the Maya now even though my brain is heat fried or save the links I've found for a future date and get more cultures like the Inca in while I have the patience to wrestle the table into submission.

Yes I am aware there is undoubtedly a way actual programmers would make a table or an unholy abuse of a gannt chart that is less slogging than html tables, but this one I can work on in the notes app on my phone then paste in later if need be or any other device that has an internet connection. Besides last few ways I looked into either involved feeding all your info to a black box which wouldn't actually teach me anything &/or using google sheets; I'm feeling downright grumpy towards google atm. This hand typed nonsense also keeps me from getting too caught up in the presentation which is something I need all the help I can get on when this is 90% stubs by volume.

Tl;dr: Hey did you all know the Maya were around a really long time for any culture and that it's a gosh darn shame we were barely taught about them in school?
