  • he has no class

  • I hope to 'GOD' it does fuckin end,im bored shitless....

  • "Then you are a twat"

  • Stop. I want a popcicle

  • @Mokkor Yes, a civilisation so utterly powerful and knowledgeable that it couldn't foresee its own downfall to soil erosion or non-native humans.

  • @Mokkor he gave a reasonable description of the Mayan belief about time and measurement, which you only have to be a well read individual to do, and how it had no context in modern understanding. He did not cite himself as an authority or a historian of the era, and it was purely in the context of his modern knowledge he was making his case. It sounds like you came to the video with pre-conceived idea of the value of a civilization purely because it is a dead civilization.

  • I hope you're not suggesting The Mayans were twats, Brian.

  • @Mokkor DR Brian Cox.

  • @andybadger I believe It's spelled 'twat' but should be pronounced 'twot'. Or am I just being a twat?
