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.
