Columbian Exchange

Apocalypto

Hey guys,


I hope we are all enjoying the first half of Apocalypto. It is a pretty intense movie with some scenes that are difficult to watch.  It is just a movie, but unfortunately the history of conquering and destruction of civilizations is a very real thing. Throughout history countless groups of people have been over thrown by stronger, more powerful groups. This has happened thousands of times!

Remember its just a movie!
