    Contrasted with other significant Mesoamerican composing frameworks, Zapotec is still inadequately understood. Most importantly, the hidden dialect itself shows an issue. The main European record of the Zapotec dialect dates from no sooner than the sixteenth century, and the old type of Zapotec from a thousand years prior is not archived by any means. Endeavors are in progress to remake this "proto-Zapotec" dialect from the present day Zapotec dialects, yet such undertakings take years to refine. Another component adding to the absence of advancement in Zapotec decipherment is the moderately small number of writings accessible to scientists.…

Comparatively, there are also key differences between the two, particularly the timescale in which complexity took place and the practices of agriculture. Most, if not all of these elements that factor into the success of a state are generally under control of the ruler of the state, but how do these rulers keep their subjects loyal and in order; justifying the vast inequalities…
