America before contact was really fascinating. A lot was going on here long before Europeans showed up. During some periods of history, North America was incredibly populated, filled with hundreds of large villages & even a city.

The Americas are rather interesting to wonder the "What ifs" of history.
It's hard to really judge where societies were "progressing", but it is conceivable that given another 500 years or a thousand years, it might have been the Americans discovering a "new world".
Pre-Contact North and South America were by no means the "savages stuck in the stone age" (often portrayed in pop culture). Their societies were dynamic and shifting. They made many scientific and technological advancements over the centuries.
Pop culture really needs to depict more North American and South American Pre-Contact stories. It's one of those areas of history that seldom get attention.
