Any of the forums referring to Montezuma’s trek with aprox. 2,000 slave/porters from Yucatan to the America’s must first deal with the fact…. the porters required food and water. A meager 8 oz’s. of food would have been 1,000 pounds per day. Doesn’t take much to figure the water as well. Where did 1,000 pounds of daily food come from ? 2,000 people would leave a well worn path as well.
