The joke I heard is that if Mexico ever takes Texas back they'll make Morrissey write the new state anthem :^x

The Aztecs had an incredibly polite society, which emphasized respect, politeness, conscientiousness, and humility. To the modern person, this may seem at odds with their practice of routine human sacrifice. But we must bear in mind that they didn't commit these acts out of sadism. They genuinely believed, with all their hearts, that the world would end if they did not do it. It's easy for us to judge them harshly, but -- lest we forget -- Europeans at this exact point in time would go on to kill tens or even hundreds of thousands of people as suspected witches. And up to a million people for being Albigensian heretics. Also done in the name of the greater good, by genuinely pious people.

What they achieved with stone and pure human labor is nothing short of extraordinary, however.

I was expecting a great video, but I didn't expect it to blow my mind the way it did. I was born in a rural part of Mexico. When I was born, my grandmother buried my umbilical cord in the middle of a field. I always wondered why, my grandmother always said that you're supposed to, it's tradition. When I saw the umbilical cord thing in the video it blew my mind. I got chills. Also the mouse hole thing is still done, though in a modified form. Traditionally the tooth faerie concept doesn't exist in Mexico. Instead we have a tooth mouse. When I was a child, my father told me to make a wish on the tooth and leave the tooth in the trash or outside. From there the tooth would be taken by a mouse who would somehow grant my wish eventually. That last part is really vague on details but that's how it went. My cousins and friends were told very similar things. Also for us the man on the moon is actually a rabbit. Lol

Isnt it interesting how both the Aztec and Roman civilizations saw a person's 15th birthday as important? I'm sure this extends to many other civilizations. Why is this particular age seen as special across vastly different civilizations. This, even among civilizations that had absolutely no interaction or knowledge of each other.

Julian S The average age when menarche occurs can vary a lot across history and cultures. It’s believed to be coming earlier now in modern developed countries than it has in the past, due to various biological and environmental factors. Currently we’re at around 13.

My parents were both born in Guatemala. Their first names were calendar names derived from the Catholic calendar--each day has a saint in that calendar. Both my parents were named after their calendar saints--St. Filogonius for my dad, St. Odilon for my mom. I was not aware that this was a tradition that PRECEDED the Spanish conquest, that the Aztecs and the Maya both did calendar names. I'll be damned...

Yeah it was a tradition across christianity ,in France ,you were always naming your child with the name of the saint associated with the day he was born ,then the 3rd Republic made a law that forced everyone to do it (Even tho everyone was already naming their child with this method) and in 1905 with the law of separation between the church and the state ,it was not obligatory anymore (But people were still doing it until after WW2) Edit : It's also because of that ,that family name were recreated in Europe (They already existed in the Roman Empire ,but disappeared after) in the XI/XIIth century ,because of growing population ,there was only 365 name (Masculine or Feminine ,but each name had another version in case the child was not of the same sex as the saint) ,with only 730 names and growing population ,it would become harder and harder to recognize people by their name ,so they took family name . The family name can be multiple type of thing that the 1st ancestor had ,the name of his father ,his jobs ,a physical characteristic ,a title etc... My family name from my father side imply that my ancestor was working on stained glass in churches and cathedrales ,and my family name from my mother side imply that my other ancestor was a city/castle guard . One of the teacher I had in my life had a family name of "Longueépée" which means "Longsword" (Ancestor was probably a knight) ,a classmate had the family name "Chevalier" which would mean "Knight" (So his was ancestor was a knight) ,one of my friend had the family name "Doré" ,which mean "Golden" (So his ancestor was probably rich ,a noble or in the gold business) ,a classmate had the family name "Gris" which mean "Grey" (So his ancestor probably liked the colour grey or lived/worked in a grey building) ,the most common family name in France are (It's the number of French people born between 1891 and 2000 to have these family name) : 1-Martin (250 013 persons have it ,it's a name ,the saint of the 11th of November ,Martin of Tours ,feminine version is Martine) 2-Bernard (131 330 ,name ,the saint of the 20th of August ,Bernard of Clairvaux ,Feminine version is Bernadette) 3-Thomas (118 331 ,name ,the saint of the 3rd of July ,Thomas the Apostle ,multiple feminine versions ,that nobody use anymore) 4-Petit (115 217 ,physical characteristic ,it means "Small") 5-Robert (112 998 ,name ,the saint of the 30th of April ,Robert of Molesmes ,feminine version is Roberta) 6-Richard (109 354 ,social condition ,it means rich) 7-Dubois (108 619 ,it mean that he live near the woods) 8-Durand (108 374 ,physical characteristic ,it means "Endurance") 9-Moreau (102 804 ,physical characteristic ,it mean that the person had brown hair) 10-Laurent (97 015 ,name ,the saint of the 10th of August ,Saint-Lawrence ,feminine version is Laurence) 11-Simon (96 397 ,name ,the saint of the 28th of October ,Simon the Zealot ,feminine version is Simone) 12-Michel (93 493 ,name ,the saint of the 29th of September Archangel Michael ,feminine version is Michelle) 13-Lefebvre (91 459 ,job ,blacksmith) 14-Leroy (87 282 ,title ,mean King ,given to the people who would win in archery competition ,especially present in the north) 15-David (76 085 ,name ,the saint of the 1st of March ,Saint David ,Davia is the feminine) 16-Roux (75 365 ,physical characteristics ,it mean red hair) 17-Morel (72 745 ,same as Moreau) 18-Bertrand (72 683 ,name ,the saint of the 6th of September ,Bertrand de Garrigues ,Bertrande is the feminine) 19-Fournier (71 996 ,Job ,baker) 20-Girard (70 039 ,name ,the saint of the 3rd of October) There are more than 1,4 Millions family name in France ,and 300 000 peoples are the last and unique holders of their family name ,

Thank you for this video! I'm 50% native Mexican and my ancestors include Zapotec, Chichimec, Huastec, and Aztec. You can really tell the character of the Mexican people has been constant for centuries, even after colonization. It was a very strong character that influenced whoever got in touch with it. It happens today, Mexico influences all of Latin America and Spain (not to mention the U.S.). I think that it happened 500 years ago, because the Spaniards then, wrote with great admiration of the Mexica culture, cities, language (of course they hated the human sacrifice and warlike skills), and I think that a lot of Mexican ways made their way back to Spain, and by extension, to other parts where the Spaniards went: South America, Africa, South Asia, Philippines, Guam. It is no wonder that the tomato, avocado, chocolate and chillies made their way throughout the world. This is only a guess, except for the food, everybody knows these originated in Mexico; but I think that the world's cultures today are a total mix, and there is no such thing as a "pure" culture.

This blew my mind. I was born in Zacatecas Mexico and was raised there for most my life. When I was little my older sibling would step over me and joke around saying I would grow anymore, at the time I thought it was a serious thing.

Yeah, I feel that it we would be really mind blown by how ancient are those superstitions if we could look way back... the only explanation why those exist on 3 continents and so many cultures, would be because they started way back, when mankind was just a handful of tribes, before we started to migrate and spread on all continents. . That would make them tens of thousand of years old, if not older.

Whenever I hear of everyday life as an Aztek, they seemed pretty happy and the kind of upbringing described in this video sounded very similar to how I was raised.

I clicked this video because I recognized Beverly’s art. Oh gosh, she’s so amazing!!!

The Aztecs did not ever venture into any of those places.

GY1415 I know the Aztecs didn’t have the horse or the ship to travel to those places but I wanna see how people grew up in other cultures.

Hola amigos, I'm Lily, and these are my brothers Sock and Guinea Pig.

I love this series so much!! Honestly some of the best content in KZread. Thank you for all the time you put into these, it really shows.

thank you for this series. It's INVALUABLE for anyone wanting to write a believable story that is based on historical societies. Showing the day-to-day events that a complex society is built on adds depth to writing I couldn't otherwise construct on my own.

Thank you for not having a long intro of blah, blah, blah and getting down to business right away. I HATE long intros!

Damn that picture of the parent punishing the kid with the red chili peppers smoke is the same feeling I get when my mom makes food that contain red chili and I’m coughing like I’m dying.

Obedience in the aztec society seems to play quite a major role in their traditions and culture as a whole.

Thank you so much! As a prehispanic history enthusiast I really am glad with the accuracy of the information you’ve given, it gave me so many flashbacks of what it was like to study Aztec history in my library Muchas gracias!

So this is why my mom was so accurate when throwing her chancla at me.

This video was a complete delight. So much details at times, wonderful artwork and the narrative was great also.

I'd be really curious to learn what it was like for the ancient golden era African civilizations such as the Ghana, Mali, or Songhai Empires or Kush, Aksum, or even Egypt.

I love this channel.

Could you please do the same thing about north american tribes. I love their history and their ways but there's not much on it in the internet.

very easy, english got there kill around 99% of them, make buffalo extinction. Thats why you dont know much about it, because they accused Spain about what they did. So nowadays they look Spain as the bad guys and England and USA looks like cool. That was a more than 200 year brainwashing, to divide, hispanic people, to make hispanic american hate their real roots, so when they go to USA because their shitty economies, they think, it was spanish people fault

I am thoroughly enjoying this series! I cant wait to see what's next!
