Interesting, I would have never guessed it to be that high.
They are making up numbers.
In 1400 Europe had 78 million inhabitants. In 2022 it's 448 million, growth of nearly 600%. If you believe their numbers medieval Mexico had a population of over 1/4 of it's modern value.
There is zero chance of that being accurate. That would require advanced waste management, fresh water procurement, farming, etc., by civilizations that didn't even have the wheel yet to be vastly superior to Europe. The Europe that built Notre Dame 250 years prior. The Europe that had advanced math and trigonometry for over 1,000 years.
No, this bullshit is made up by highly credentialed liars so they can click their tongue at liberal cocktail parties about how evil the colonizing West is. Then they can suggest some sort of 3rd world welfare in the name of past injustice. After all, since "we" killed hundreds of millions of noble savages, what's a few hundred billion in freebies? All administered by Klaus Schwab's WEF friends of course.
That is also an interesting take on it. I don't think you give them their deserved credit though.

They obviously were far beyond the wheel.
Those were all made with rollers and sledges. No New World culture is known to have used the wheel before the arrival of Europeans. There were toys with wheels, but nobody thought to use them for work or war.
