The Tarascan/Purepecha label here is entirely erronous, they would not exist for another 1200+ years at least, and not quite that far west. Teotihuacan would have been around but it's a bit north of where it should be, and i'm also unsure if during this period it would have had a wider influence beyond just the city itself and maybe the Valley of Mexico as a whole: 100 AD is right around when a nearby Volcano erupted, destablizing other cities and towns in the area, notably Cuicuilco, and so the theory goes, the displaced people went into Teotihuacan, causing it's population to swell and it's growth over the next few centuries: So while it would have been a notable population center at 100AD, it would not yet be at the massive size it would reach over the next 4 centuries, where it would eventually match even the larger Roman cities in population (even eclipising Rome in physical expanse) and with nearly all it's people living in fancy villa compounds, and may have had political influence in even some Maya cities 1000 kilometers away. To begin with, before I get into the issues with the civilizations shown, it needs to be generally noted that with a few exceptions, they weren't politically unified at this point: The "Maya" space for example would not be a unified Maya empire, but a bunch of politically indepedent city-states with some having more political power then the other due to alliances and political marriages and the like forming dynastic kingdoms with different dyanisties and some indivual cities often competing and warring with each other.īeyond that, to comment on the specific Civilizations: The Maya area here is too small, only shown covering the Northern part of the Yucatan Peninsula, when the whole Peninsula excluding a few pockets having Maya cities and towns through it, and the Southern and Central parts of it, rather then the North, was where the larger and more influential cities were during this period. You may use the Euratlas images and maps, as they are available on the websites and, for educational or illustration purposes but you must mention the source in that way: © 2010 Christos Nussli, No commercial use is allowed.I respect the attempt to include the different states and civilizations in Mesoamerica at this point, but there's a lot of issues there.
