Why were the Mayans Aztecs and Incas not together?
The Mayans, Aztecs, and the Inca settled in different parts of the world. The Aztec in central Mexico, the Mayans in much of Central America and parts of Mexico, and the Inca in South America, particularly in the Andes Mountains of Peru. All of these groups however, originated from Asia. This is because of the migration of their ancestors from Asia when they crossed the Bering Strait. As the groups continued to migrate, each group stayed within that area and started their own culture.

Crop health depended on the rain which was undependable, and the whole area has no running water above ground except for rivers that were quite a distance away.

Farming irrigation when needed was done by using canals and terraces, called Chinampas, a raised area to plant crops in and move amongst the areas by canoe. They built canals and diverted rivers to provide water to their crops.

Is Stonehenge an ancient temple?
To my knowledge, Stonehenge is still a mystery. No one knows if it was a temple or what its purpose was. It is however more likely to be a temple than some kind of complex 'observatory'. Around 1720 Dr Willaim Stukeley noticed the midsummer sunrise was visible in the direction of the Heelstone, ever since that time more and more complex 'astronomical alignments' have been conjectured. The simple fact is that the stones at Stonehenge were laid out to a precise plan wherein they relate to one another, not to distant objects or the sky. Sure there is the solstice alignment, but even that is confused- because the monument faces the midwinter sunset not midsummer sunrise. All the arguments point to it being an elegantly designed and premeditated mirrored geometric construction (with its axis fixed on the solstices) are presented in recent research entitled 'Solving Stonehenge'. The author, an experienced archaeologist, is in no doubt that it was a Temple.
