Back to their prehistoric stone age, without horses or the wheel or anything made of metal?

From the copper production around the Great lakes going back over 8,000 years and the trade networks that brought them to the Southwest and beyond, to the gold gilded interiors of Inca temples from whence the riches of colonial European countries came, you should recheck that.

Farming techniques which actually enriched the soil instead of eroded it away as was customary in Europe managed to produce 70% of the agricultural species utilized around the entire planet today.

No beasts of burden to pull plows and meant no need and development of the wheel for anything larger than small toys.

Tenochtitlan was described by the Spanish as the largest, most beautiful, those destiny populated, best organized and most sophisticated city that they had ever seen in their travels. It was larger than most if not all European cities.

Actually, Native Americans did use metal in many of their tools, like arrowheads and stakes to hold down cloth in the wind.

The Spanish wiped out entire civilizations just to steal their gold, I mean, sorry, in the name of Jesus *wink*

While searching for the mythical city made of gold called El Dorado, in a route that went from Florida all the way out west, if they did terrifically horrible things that, I can't even say to even the smallest of villages, torturing people to death looking for this place that did not even exist.

I'm ignorant on this subject, so, just for grins, I asked the internet about this. Having carefully read what you wrote, I asked in a way that reflects what I think a good number of people would have understood what you wrote to mean. So, I asked like this: "did native americans make the metal used tor their arrow tips?"

The internet said no. It provided some detail:

"Native Americans did not traditionally make the metal used for their arrow tips. Instead, they repurposed worn-out metal trade items, such as brass kettles and pots, to create distinctive arrowheads known as "Kettle Points." These arrowheads were later replaced with purpose-made iron arrowheads. The transition to metal arrowheads occurred after contact with Europeans, who introduced new materials like iron and brass. By the 1850s, most Native American tribes had lost the knowledge of making stone points, relying instead on metal points from traders."

Like I said, I carefully read what you wrote. I'm not trying to be super critical, because you were replying to a statement that did not say they developed any kind of metallurgy. Very sneaky, but you and I both know that you could have written that much more clearly, more comprehensively. So let's face it, a lie of omission is a plain lie nonetheless.

The Internet that did not say no. AI made a mistake.
Reword your search and try it again.

First of all, you used AI overview and took it word for word, which was your first tactical blunder. Second of all, I never said they "made the metal." Native Americans, before Columbus even discovered (a bunch of people already living in) North America, Native Americans used naturally occurring forms of metal in their tools. While not being refined metal, it still is metal. Your second mistake was to click the "post comment" button without even giving a second thought to what you were posting. A childish comment, revealing your primitive, inherit racism and xenophobia. Essentially, you communicated, "nAtiVE AmEriCanS CaN'T HavE MeTaL! WhiTE peOPle mAdE mEtaL!! I'M gOiNg tO ThRoW A TanTRUm oN a SiLly MeME SITe!" Don't make another mistake and reply to this comment. If you do, you're just proving everything I'm saying about you. Be the better person.

I don't know about that. Native Americans were all segmented into tribes and many were at war with neighboring tribes, not all of the tribes but enough. America was pretty hostile before Europeans got here. I am not disparaging native Americans because Europe was pretty much doing the same thing.

If it was pretty hostile, Europeans would never have gotten established here.

Not all native American were hostile. Many formed strong alliances with the early Europeans. Despite how much people on the left try to elevate the protected classes the think they are representing (and then dumb down their language when talking to them), they are all human beings They are no different than anyone else. Some good and some bad and some anywhere in between.

Not all were? I reckon that explains why they managed to get vanquished by their guests that they allowed to stay and even fed.

But at least we have you lot to explain to the rest of humanity that they are all human beings. All. Actual human beings. Thank you for giving the permission.

You're welcome
