4 Erwin: Didn't the Maya collapse into decadence and then get wiped out by the Spanish within just a few years?

2012-06-07 Rerun commentary: This is an example of the literary conceit known as "Erwiny".

The shield in the background is one of the classic LEGO Castle shields, showing the heraldic device of the Black Falcon faction. They seemed to be the "bad guys", positioned in conflict with the Crusaders, who had a lion crest.

Of course this just made the Black Falcons more fun for pre-adolescent boys to collect, but alas they never released as many Falcon sets as Crusader sets.
