A) Nothing, just totally naked

B) What you’re wearing and anything you carry with you (even if you’re not carrying it right now) like a bag

C) What you’re wearing, what you carry with you, and the contents of your home (it will be teleported within a few hundred metres on the surface in an accessible location, but obviously won’t be connected to any services like electricity or water)

The first Spanish speaker to step foot in the area now known as Peru didn’t happen until 1513, 200 years after this hypothetical arrival date for you.

Do you speak Quecha?

A) Fucked. B) Probably fucked, but give me the AR-15 in my closet and a backpack full of ammunition and we might have something to talk about. C) Other than the guns and ammo in my closet I can’t think of anything in my house that would actually be useful.

A. Dead. It’s freaking Peru and I’m a tubby weakling from the swamps. The elements will strike me down.

B. Fine. I got an alpaca wool poncho so I won’t be that out of place. I’ll bring some survival books and a bug out bag.

C. New World Order. “Ok fellas you see all these funky looking codices on multiple shelves? Some of them have your future and the future of the peoples living on the continent north of you. See these maps, accurate to the finger length. All yours for the price of making friends with the altepeme around Lake Texcoco and killing anyone with my skin color immediately for the rest of time.”

Nah but I’ve seen his videos. I’m a Mesoamerican history nerd (if you click on my profile you’ll see Tezcatlipoca) and I do possess a few books about South America. If I’m going to be fucking up the timeline I’m sure as Hell going to be giving the aboriginals a heads up.

Nice I can give them a 192 year heads up about their nasty neighbors across the ocean

A heads up is not gonna save them from their real killers, smallpox, unless you brought it with you and give them a couple centuries to recover population and gain immunity.
