The Incas might or might not get coverage, however the Aztecs would be used as a prototype of a warped and dangerous society along with the Nazis and Stalinists.

More later.

Oh do offer your reactions and objections.


The East Romans an the pre British 'Indians' are 'too religious and disturbing' but China isn't? Does not compute. Religion has played a huge role in Chinese history.
