He says that if the Maya had conquered Europe, instead of the West conquering the world and establishing its culture as "mainstream," we might not find the passage of 1000 years sparking any particular excitement at all!
他更提出假想，假如歷史從新來過，中南美洲的文明古國馬雅人在其盛世征服了野蠻歐洲，而非採十進位、又皈依了基督的歐洲毀滅馬雅、吞併美洲，前進亞非，並一躍而為今日文化的主流龍頭，是不是還有千禧之說？
