[Aztlan] Maya trade routes

[Henry Avila]

In my opinion:

Trade routes where specially marked by cities, of course the mayas used to
use the rivers as a way of trade, however, the main ways of trade in my
opinion was those that are followed by cities, e.g., the Usumacinta river
was particulary marked by cities on its contour (Palenque, Bonampak,
Yaxchilán, Piedras Negras), the La Pasion river was marked by cities on its
contour as well (Altar de Sacrificios, Ceibal, Dos Pilas, Waká-Perú,
Aguateca, Cancuén in the end).

In conclusion, I think rivers like Usumacinta and La Pasion they do, were
used by the mayas as a trade route, rivers like Grijalva maybe they wasnt
used by the mayas as a trade route because of the missing cities on his
contour. Again, that is only my opinion.

Regards!
