It took the Spanish (and the local mesoamerican armies they relied on as allies) decades to centuries in some cases to conquer the remaining Maya kingdoms, City-STates, and towns, as unlike in Central Mexico where there was more political centralization due to Aztec expansion; they couldn't just take out a few captials and have most of the rest fall in line, and had to indivually target each town and city for the most part
The last Maya city, Tayasal, only fell in 1697, and both before, and well after that there have been a variety of Maya revolutionary movements, at some points very nearly having widespread success. There's still some around today, even; and there's millions of Maya around today too
>>115908131As I said, guess I wasn't listening hard enough! Which Maya language? Chontal, Yucatec, Kiche, etc?
>>115908318If you want more, I have a larger pastebin of a bunch of prior infodumps I've done here:
https://pastebin.com/p42q14Ff ; and that includes at the bottom an art and book drive plus other resources, and in that art drive: I have a folder for feather art
Keep in mind that there's a lot I have not yet on both and some stuff may never be uploaded (IDK if I'll ever upload my photo collection or art that's from artists with active online presences vs the drive now exclusively having stuff from older out of print stuff)
Also the art is unlabeled so contacting me privately is a good way to ask me for stuff not on the drives or for info.about each image/any potential accuracy issues they have (though most are at least decently accurate) Namely, via saintseiyasource@gmail.com, but be aware I am VERY bad at replying quickly
>>115908393See above, decentralization. West Mexico lasted longer for the same reason. That being said therre's still millions of Nahuas around today just like the Maya, there's hundreds of thousands of Zapotecs, Mixtecs, Purepecha, etc too. Like 1/5th of Mexico's population is indigenous
10/10 for now
