Talk:395-431 CE (Superpowers)

It seems to me that the Great Mayapan's inventions should have Mayan names. I've done my best to try to create a few: Tun luk'  (cement, "stone clay"), Ch'ul luk' (metal/copper, "holy clay"), Pat K'ak' or Tzakaw K'ak' (black powder, "make fire" or "make fire appear"), sak chi or chi sa (toothpaste, pure mouth or mouth gruel), Ik' k'uxaj nal (wind-powered grain mill, wind grinds maize). For "wagon" I had a little more trouble, though I would suggest Wol Och ("round foot"), or Pet ("to rotate" but it would be treated like a noun), or Pet Och ("rotating foot").

I hope these suggestions are helpful
