Lmao, their "code" involved cannibalism & sacrificing children.
Archaeologist Joyce Marcus notes:
"We also have good evidence for human sacrifice in the archaeological record.
Immediate sacrifice of victims taken in raids was a common practice, also offering of children & adults" https://twitter.com/Hayatokaw/status/1344248808620793856

"There are a number of elements in Maya religion for which archaeological evidence might be sought:
the rituals themselves, including the burning of incense, HUMAN SACRIFICE, animal sacrifice, ritual bloodletting & CANNIBALISM"

"The most common victim of sacrifice, FOLLOWING HUMAN BEINGS, was the domestic dog."
"Children were also sacrificed, some of these being orphans, others purchased or even kidnapped."
mUh "c0dE" Lmao

Now, cannibalism is condemned in our faith (Ekalavya, Ravana, Shurpanakha), & as such, going by the definition of Civilization, I would never call such people as "Civilized"or a "Civilization"or "having a c0dE", especially one that involves cannibalism

Looking at people in terms of "civilised" & "tribals" itself is a very colonial notion & extremely relative.
Eg;
Britons consider(ed) us Vedic Hindus "Tribals".
Colonized Indians consider(ed) Britain "Civilization".

I don't consider Britons a civilization, because Britons were cannibals themselves while we had Takshshila, Nalanda, Valabhi, Vikramshila. Me personally, anything outside of Vedic civilization is "uncivilized" (/6)

Regardless, My refutation was directed towards you saying "Civilisation" was required for writing/scripture, & Tribes couldn't write, which I proved wrong. Whether you would still call Mayan cannibals "Civilisation" or Tribe, that's upto you ji
