The Classical Americas, like Classical China and Mediterranean, lay the foundation for the more famous societies to follow. The Aztec and Incan cultures that clashed with Spanish Conquistadors in the next era (1450-1750) were each successors to either the Mayans & Teotihuacan (Aztecs) and the Moche (Incan).
