I give absolutely 0 shits about whatever retarded racial-identity horseshit you are on about. You are being just as dumb as SJWs and I could not give less of a crap about any of it.
I'm also American and my ancestry comes from eastern europe.
>were objectively about 1500 years behind Europeans technologically (and that's me being generous in their favour),
On average? Yeah, 1500 years behind is about right: That'd put them on par with Classical Greece and Persia in contrast to Late Medieval Europe, which is where i'd put the Aztec on average.
But it's also not that simple: In some ways they were even more behind then that, such as in terms of metallurgy or naval technology or archtecture, where they were more like 4000-5000 years beind, on par with Bronze age Egypt, Babylon, Sumer, etc; but in some ways they were also more ahead then that: In terms of sanitation, Medicine, and bonotanical science, they were actually cutting edge even compared to 16th century europe, for instance.
Also, Japan was even more behind, they only formed ciities like 1500 years after the Mesoamericans: You also call them subhuman savages? I imagine not: At least the Mesoamericans have the excuse of the Americas being colionized by humans much latter then Eurasia, and also not having beasts of burden or contact with other cradles of civilization to aid their development.
>worshipped polytheistic pantheon of gods
Well, firstly, they had complex religious philosophy, with circles of priests, poets, ethicists, and philsophers in academic debates with each other, including debating cosmology and metaphysics, alongside morality and ethics, the meaning of life, etc;l see pic. I think you are underestimating them a bit here. Their work is a bit controversial, but i'f look up Leon-Portilla and James Maffie's books on Aztec cosmology and philsophy if I were you.
Secondly, why is polytheism inherently more primitive then monotheism?
