The Zapotecs built this place without wheels, beast of burden...only humans, rolling logs, levers, and math. The elites lived here....priests, warriors, artists...everything had to be brought up from the valley below. They leveled off a 6000 meter mountain. Everyone around here makes very certain to declare they were not Aztecs or Mayans.... no ball court sacrifice etc.
