Archaeologists gave the name of Petexbatún State to a group of cities during the Classic period of the Maya Civilization that include Seibal, Itzan, Dos Pilas, Aguateca, Tamarindito, Punta de Chimino, Nacimiento, and others. This State was the first to be abandoned in the Late Classic, when the Maya Collapse occurred in a south to north pattern, although Seibal, may have been reoccupied by a foreign group, possibly the Putún Maya, according to the style of the Stelas in this period. The archaeological findings here have given a lot of information about the Collapse of the Classic Maya Civilization.

gollark: Also, though this is more personal preference, (GNU[+/])Linux (distributions) has (have):- a package manager useful for general use (the windows store is not really this)- a usable shell (yes, I'm aware you can use WSL, but it's not very integrated with everything else)- lower resource use- a nicer UI (well, the option for one; AFAIK Windows does not allow as much customization)
gollark: I've seen Candy Crush randomly installed on a Windows machine as well as random unwanted gaming-related services, there's advertising for OneDrive in the file explorer IIRC, control over updates is pretty limited though I guess you can do a bit, and by "spying" I don't mean anything targeted but just that it reports quite a lot back to Microsoft.
gollark: <@151391317740486657> So telemetry/spying, in-OS advertising, uncontrollable updates, random useless programs being installed, and that sort of thing don't happen to you?
gollark: I'm sure Lego *could* make the speed consistent as long as the batteries can provide some minimum power. They just don't care, probably.
