Horrifying but it is a must read
Format: Paperback
This book should be required reading for all high-school students rather than the friendly history books that treat Columbus as a hero. This man was a murderous psychopath. Strong words but after reading this powerful text you will agree. I am ashamed at what these monsters from Spain, and England and elsewhere did soon after Columbus "discovered" the Americas. And all of the sacred knowledge lost. Everything the Mayans wrote down was burned. Knowledge from prehistory--all gone. All of the knowledge from prehistory the Indians in the Amazon basin held, all of the technology on agriculture, building, medicine, sacred knowledge, and much more gone. And for what?
I cannot tell you how powerful this book is. I cannot get it out of my head. If you think black lives matter well, sorry folks indigenous Indians of the New World MATTER MORE. They should be rioting for compensation from Spain and England. Oh, I forgot, nobody's left to riot.
It was a complete deliberate genocide killing perhaps 80 million paleo-indians from the 15th century on. And they are still killing the rest of them in Mesoamerica and esp. the Amazon where oil and mineral companies are murdering the remainder. And nobody seems to care! Read this book and learn the truth finally.
