The ancient Americans migrated, settled and survived all sorts of geographical and climatic challenges. Their quest for survival slowly became more sophisticated and as a result successful. They knew their environment and over time became engineers, architects, mathematicians, astronomers, physicians, farmers, metallurgists, scientists, warriors, traders, teachers, priests, nobles, etc. Likewise, over time, their quest for survival informed their belief systems that caused them to build temples, create calendars and track the movements of the constellations. In general it seems, they felt that they were at the mercy of the opposing forces of nature on whose "cooperation" they heavily depended to survive. They therefore assigned special powers and divine status to those powers that they felt needed to be appeased in order to survive. Their cultures were built as they learned to survive and thrive, independently in the Americas without interference or influence from any other place on Earth on any large scale, until the year 1492.
