For their location, it was on that scale. They denuded most of the Yucatan, southern Mexico and northern Central America. It temporarily allowed their population to explode and then they exceeded the carrying capacity of the land. It's happening all over again.
We never learn.
You guys realize there were dozens of other civilizations over 5000+ years in these areas with millions of people right? Some were custodians of the rainforest. Some not so much.

We’re having an archaeologist golden age in central and SA. YouTube LiDAR and south / central America. There is a lot of info out in the last few years about this. Maybe try top 10 archaeological findings with LiDAR in various areas.

Too many people using our current means of farming and how we source protein.
Current form of energy acquisition, and pretty much everything else. Thanos had the right idea! 😂
What Thanos got wrong: •being random w/the 50% •not waiting til planes landed, cars pulled over, etc It’s not like it’d be hard to get to 50% of world population if you include all the rapists, pedophiles, misogynists, religious crazies, MAGAt equivalent, & other scum we’d all be better off without
😂
