Seriously us Guatemalans need to learn how to run our own country instead of fighting to expand our territory. Be faithful with little and you'll be faithful with more

[@MrEmivideo]

I am Belizean and I don't think the people of both countries want to fight or have issues, it those on top in your country that is using the Belize issue as a distraction for there short comings. I love my Guatemalan brothers and sisters and I have a lot of friends from your country. we could work together in peace for a better world.

Most of Central America was once a part of Mexico. The mother culture is found in Mexico(the Olmec).

The Mayans did indeed rival many ancient civilizations, just not the ones within 2k years of their own time.

[@nahimpol4336]

So that means Belize is in Yucatan peninsula? Just asking.

[@SpanishSkeleton777]

No, it is on the northern side of Guatemala, next to the state of Petén in Guatemala, they are together and they still have not resolved the problem of borders

Is the first sentence a joke? There are Indigenous settlements in the Americas that date back over 20,000 years. What is this “4 to 5 thousand years ago” nonsense??? 😂😂

Land grab? On whose part?

[@dchamp8208]

I think we can all agree that based on the first presentation of Maya pictures they were black during the classical period. Look at their hairstyle (dreadlocks), their black skin, big chunky noses, and their dolichocephalic facial structure. They are undoubtedly black. Us black Belizeans really need to reclaim and populate our country because now the mestizo portion of Belize is at 50% in our country! WTF! Specifically, Africans were populous in Belize before any ethnic group because us Africans were brought from Africa to be enslaved in this country. This is our country! I like that you mentioned the population size of the Maya that was 2million. It is worth mentioning because the current population of Belize is not even at half a million at the time of this comment. Additionally, I think your video was extremely educational, informative, and effectively executed, all the contents and concepts about our history was organized and chronologically illustrated. Thank you! I hope more Belizeans will watch this video to receive edification from our country and stop making TikToks every daaaam day!

[@Coney-k2k]

he pronounces alot of stuff wrong i dont blame him like cayes is prenounced keys and mestizo is prenounced mestiso the z is pronounced as a s

you have to go back to the last ice age to find the beginnings of human migration to the "new world" by the way to pronounce the word caye pronounce the same as the word key.

The bundling together of "guns, disease, and Christianity" is an unnecessary shot at religion. Poor choice of comparison, revealing an intolerance on your part.

[@reelpolitik1154]

I can see how bundling these together would be easily misconstrued. To clarify, I was not attempting to equate Christianity to guns or disease, especially not in a derogatory manner. Religion and technology are listed together since they are the most significant components of Spanish influence on the New World. Thank you for watching and for the feedback.

[@dski8097]

You forgot to talk about the cannibalism and human sacrifice of the Mayan people. but you were happy to talk about the Spanish slaughter, kind of one sided.

[@reelpolitik1154]

Human sacrifice and warfare between Mayan people is actually mentioned in the first minute.
