I don't really remember dates as much a cultural stuff. the Incas and Mayans didn't really interact other than trade, same with the Mayans and the Aztecs. the westerners took out all three civilizations, I'm not sure how tribalism played a part though. your thinking is suspect homey.

Tribalism as in they didnt advance past the stone age. Yes they worked with gold, but they didn't advance into a post stone age technology. imo it was due to them keeping with a tribal mentality and worshiping sun gods and so on..
