Explanation

So, as I said, today I'll slightly explain the picture that I did in case you can't interpret it for some reason. Basically it's a picture of an adventurer overlooking a dense, deep South American/African jungle packed with Mayincatec ruins that are just there because know one sees why not. Some people have confused the gaping line between the two mountains and above the forest of plants and animals to be a waterfall, but it's actually a deep chasm with a single, poorly maintained wood-plank bridge. There are quite a few mayan-type pyramids around the cliffsides doubtlessly full of undiscovered riches and death traps that still work despite thousands of years of no maintenance. I also put in some mostly Mayincatec but slightly Polynesian looking stone carvings, and a few smashed aqueducts, which the Aztecs actually had invented and used but doubtlessly didn't refer to them as aqueducts. I also added in the obligatory long-lost cousins of Audrey 2. Also, if you knew about that the Mayincatecs actually had wheels but never used them at all except for toys, you would be able to tell that the thing that the adventurer is sitting on/near isn't of Mayincatec origins.

  1. I love the term "Mayincatec"--very useful!

    But how do you know about Audrey 2?

  2. This drawing is magnificent, as is the accompanying description! And yes, "Mayincatec" is a word that needed to be invented; I'm already at work spreading it in New Mexico. Thanks!
