The scale of the death toll from the European invasion of the Americas continues to stagger me. Just came across this carefully sourced 2021 chart of northern Guatemala (i.e., Maya) population loss from geographer W. George Lovell, who's been researching the area for decades.
ALT Chart of Indigenous population in northern Guatemala shows 95+% decline from 1520, when Spain invaded Mesoamerica, to 1660.
