| The indigenous population were first interrupted hundreds of years before, though little is known about their culture; it has been lost amid years of territorial wars Circa 600 AD, a little known culture known as the Tainos claimed the island, and it underwent much change in the subsequent centuries The indigenous population were first interrupted hundreds of years before, though little is known about their culture; it has been lost amid years of territorial wars. Between 100,000 and 200,000 people lived in Teotihuacan, some 45 kilometers (30 miles) northeast of present-day Mexico City, at its peak around 600 AD. It is ironic that Western historians call the period encompassing 600 AD to 1000 AD as the "Dark Ages" even whilst the Andalusian Civilisation (North African empire based in Europe--extending to the Iberian Peninsula, including Spain, Portugal, Italy, portions of France, etc)--held the largest and richest cities in Europe, populated by students who came to learn at the great universities in Cordoba, Granada, Malaga, Seville and other cities. |
