Fake and Gay. Mesoamericans and Andean peoples independently invented:

>wheels
>agriculture
>pottery and ceramics
>domestication of animals such as turkeys, ducks, dogs, and bees (cattle, pigs, and horses were brought by the Spanish, which explains why they didn't use their wheel as much and why thousands died in Cocoliztli, since these pandemics are transmitted from viruses/parasites to rats, which the Spanish also brought, which then pass to cattle, which pass to insects, which pass to humans, and Mesoamericans had no immunity because they didn't have these animals)
>road and commercial networks
>monumental architecture (They used slaked lime. They built impressive pyramids of cut stone. A considerable feat for a people essentially from the Stone Age)
>urban life/cities equivalent to those of classical antiquity in the Old World, both in population size and physical extent
>work with copper, bronze, gold, and alloy production
>organized armies
>highly literate priesthood
>writing and poetry
>philosophy
>semi-complex mathematics and highly complex astronomy
>censuses and topographic surveys
>aqueducts, dikes, and other hydraulic systems
>hydraulic cement
>sewer systems and toilets
>legal systems (written laws, courts of appeal) and advanced forms of government, including senatorial republics, bureaucratic institutions, etc.
>zoos, aquariums, nature reserves (Probably the most inventive when it came to obtaining plants, animals, and food. They were literally the Chinese of the Americas)
>alcoholic beverages
>fresco technique
>empirically based medical treatments
>complex odontology
>a lot of other random mundane things, like soap, for example
