My take was that the film is more of a folk tale loosely based on the Maya and the Aztec (Gibson blended both cultures,), you know like those films and books set in some vague fictional kingdom in what seems to be medieval Europe but not quite.
I don't mind it, it was super !kino and the city scene had top notch production both architecturally on sets as costume like, you really feel immersed and the Maya look unlike what we're used to. What felt out of place was the hunter gatherer tribe living just a day walk from the Maya city while being unaware of it's existence.

True, it seems like redditor-types like to nitpick the film ostensibly on being ahistorical when really
they can't separate the director 
from the movie.
Keeping in mind this is not /r/askhistorians, I think
the admittedly racist 
director 
did a great 
job not only with the film, but introducing the world 
to Native 
American 
culture.

Funny how the racist director casts indigenous actors and shoots the film in Yucatec Maya while the average progressive capeshit slop director makes the “German” characters speak English with cartoonish German accent for believing the target audience is too dumb to read a couple of lines of subtitles.

Captain America. I hated that Red Skull spoke English because Marvelcels are too lazy to read a few lines of subtitles

They were several days walk I think, especially since the captives are bound together. I almost feel like they cut out some from those journey segments simply because they don't make sense in their duration but also because as a story, sometimes Apocalypto had almost too much going on, and so they had to make hard choices about editing. There's quite a few scenes they shot that didnt make the cut that are pretty good.
My biggest b-word about the movie is the scene with the panther or jaguar attacking a person, they used a prop cat and it looked like shit, and the sound effect was pretty bad too. That shit peeved me

I would have believed that if it wasn't for the return persecution. They tried to sacrifice him around noon and he was back home to save his wife from that hole before sunset. Which reminds me that the wife was in that hole with their son and no food nor water, so it couldn't have been more than a couple of days.

True but remember there was a river he jumped into that lead to a waterfall, I am going to devil's advocate here and say the difference of time is chalked up with their safe and slow ascent as prisoners, but he was escaping down the waterfall in such a reckless fashion saved him quite some time.

Remember, the Passion of the Christ director had to undersell the amount of violence and torture in these scenes in the movie because there's no way they'd let the movie get to theater with the weird shit the mexica and azteca would get carried away doing, like keeping the sacrificed kids in constant distress by getting brutally tortured (cartels would blush at the violence) until theyre getting killed on the dais/altar.

True! Anyone who studies history
knows of the giant 
towers of skulls the Aztecs would 
erect from their sacrifices. Great 
comment.

Islam was a huge driver for discovering the new world.
The Mongolian empire established an overland route for spice from East Asia to Europe.
But the Arabs were the last stop and added a huge markup.
So Christopher Columbus told Spain he'd find the back way to cut costs, increase profits, and help fund another Crusade against the Arabs.

No coincidence at all

Not that but who would've thought what/who could be found over there would be a people that did a frickton of the things that fit pretty well within their christian dogma about what true evil was, it was a state of affairs so crazy they didn't really need to embellish it (but did so anyway)

The 19th amendment was a mistake. Women are biologically wired to seek a provider, and in this case, it's the government. Since the 19th amendment was passed in 1919, the government has done nothing but expand and become more intrusive. Social security (a legit ponzi), the welfare state, increased taxation, the list goes on.
Look at the 2016 electoral map if only women voted. 49 states went blue. If only men voted? 49 states went red
Women shouldn't hold office either, or be in combat units in the military. They're emotional and bleed once a month, can't make rational decisions and inherently don't know how to lead, because women who separate themselves from other women in terms of ideas establish themselves as an "outsider" and it lessens their chances of finding a mate. We're animals, and our biology precedes everything.
According to my girlfriend, this opinion is pretty darn unpopular.
