Replying to @archeohistories
This is a mostly decent overview, but some corrections with what it says about the Olmec and Zapotec etc: - The concept of the Olmec as a singular "mother" culture all other Mesoamerican civilizations descended or developed from is a little outdated, though in a sort of nuanced way: Major sites in what's known as the "Olmec Heartland" WERE some of if not the earliest urban or near urban centers in Mesoamerica, and many practices or traits the Olmec made or popularized did catch on as later Pan-Mesoamerican features. But many sites outside that core Olmec heartland area which display "Olmec" traits at the time weren't nessacarily actually Olmec or under Olmec conquests, and may have simply adopted Olmec art motifs... and in fact some of those motifs or practices may have been developed outside of the Olmec Heartland such as by the Maya, who were also around during the period even if they don't have monumental sites quite as early as far as we know) and simply caught on with the actual Olmecs who in turn then also spread it! Basically, urbanism, formal governments, etc were starting to develop all over, and the Olmec may have just done the stuff that really got popularized. - The Ball Game isn't something I've specifically done a lot of reading into, but as I understand it, the stone "hoop" goal wasn't nessacarily actually used: There were more conventional ways to win or score, and getting it in the hoop was a particularly exceptional/rare way to do so, or at times/in certain courts (the exact size and shapes vary) wasn't done at all with the hoop basically just being an vestigial decorative thing. - I'm honestly not sure when the earliest traces of Zapotec civilization are dated to, but a cursory check of one paper I thought might have some info says that at least in the Valley of Oaxaca, there's signs of early chiefdoms by at least 700BC, but I'm almost sure there's probably human habitation thousands of years before that: I think saying that the Zapotec arose "100 years after" the Olmec is a wierd thing to quantify because there's no one singular date to say "here's where X civilization arose" in most cases in general, (EX: There were sites in the Olmec heartland before 1400BC when it's generally recognized that San Lorenzo became a complex site) On the other end, 900AD is not the end of Zapotec civilization: A number of key political centers like Monte Alban (whose formation as a major early city is where you get the 500BC date from) and Mitla declined or were taken over by Mixtec groups between 700 and 900AD, but there were still Zapotec cities, towns, etc. The Zapotec kingdom of Tehuantepec allied with Conquistadors against the Mixtec kingdom of Tututepec in the 16th century, for example, and today there's still a few hundred thousand Zapotec people in Mexico, they're a notable ethnic group in Oaxaca, there's some diaspora in the US, etc See @TichaProject for a group that does outreach to make historical documents available in Zapotec or say @hmorganvl 's recent tweets with trying to get the Zapotec communities around Mitla access to archival resources of their history at the Quai Branly museum. Lastly, i'm not aware of the Aztec or Maya groups adopting or reusing Zapotec pyramids or sites: Some Zapotec cities and towns were conquered into what we know as the "Aztec Empire" but it's not like the Mexica of Tenochtitlan were colonizing abandoned Zapotec sites AFAIK, though the Mexica did excavate and refurnish some ruins closer to where they were in Central Mexico. Most Maya groups aren't that close to Zapotec ones either. There's some other minor stuff off like some of the population estimates for San Lorenzo and Monte Alban are arguably (though not implausably) a tiny bit too high, but those are the main things which come to mind.

Xtalepe riulàdxe lii / Me gustas mucho. Cabe hacer mención que Xtale o Xtale en realidad significa que se multiplica o aumenta en cantidad. Hoy en día se usa para decir mucho. En textos coloniales (Cordova) emplean cià / Zià. Con la cual concuerdo 😹.

La palabra para expresar cobarde se refiere a algo "no maduro", por lo que es incapaz de enfrentar sus miedos. Hoy en día emplean la palabra "namuxe" (forma despectiva). @cellordaar @SOL_ARCOIRIS @lieb_lopez @DizhSa @mayhplumb @blillehaugen @TichaProject

Last conference of undergrad! I got to present @TichaProject, a Valley Zapotec language doc. project I worked on last year with Dr. Broadwell @SaratogaAaron. What's even cooler is that one of the attendees is from Oaxaca, Mexico & his family speak one of the Zapotec varieties.
